Spyderco Jumpmaster 2

Took one look at the Jumpmaster, thought WOW... then saw the price...

Sal has said on the Spyderco Forum that the Jumpmaster is the knife he keeps in bug out type emergency kits. If you want something with a nearly equal length blade that's pointer and bit lighter, take a look at the Fish Hunter - https://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderco-Fish-Hunter-Salt-Knife--50837.

Spyderco's OPFOCUS
program sells their knives to military, police, first responders, and vets at wholesale. When buying just a few knives, it's actually less expensive than my cost as a Spyderco collaborator. Some restrictions apply.

Thank you for this link. I just registered and saved 50% off retail on a knife I had been thinking of buying.

That Fish Hunter looks great. Curse you @ugaarguy

Do they make it with a plain edge or partially serrated edge?

I like the look of the knife but don't want it fully serrated, I think that's a waste of a knife.

As a guy that works on the water out of a small skiff- there are times when you might want to cut a line (rope) -and very quickly.... I much prefer a smooth edged blade but have to say nothing cuts rope like a serrated blade (and if it won't cut in a single pass it will saw like no smooth edge blade can). For me, it all comes down to utility - is it what you're going to need in the moment where you are? My daily carry folder has a partially serrated blade - and those serrations are what I use for rope of any kind.... day in and day out.

When I was in the service (just fifty years ago now... ) I'd have come up with a different answer...

@waterhouse should I mention there's also the Aqua Salt that splits the difference between the Jumpmaster and the Fish Hunter?

Thankfully I already ordered the Fish Hunter, which should satisfy the boat knife needs.
