Jumpmaster 2

Developed in close cooperation with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division jumpmasters—specially trained airborne-qualified soldiers who control parachutists during airborne operations—the original Jumpmaster was purpose designed to quickly and efficiently cut static lines in hung jumper” situations. Its blunt-tipped sheepfoot blade had one of the most aggressive, long-wearing edges Spyderco ever produced, making it a popular tool of choice for survival-minded individuals who wanted a corrosion-free knife capable of extreme cutting power. That audience, however, also expressed a preference for a more acute, utilitarian point design that would make the knife even more versatile in emergency situations. When they spoke, Spyderco listened, and the result was the Jumpmaster 2.
