Jumpmaster™ 2 FRN Black

The Jumpmaster 2 is a second-generation expression of the acclaimed Jumpmaster design that combines all the high-performance features of the original with the increased versatility of an acute point.

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 ever produced, making it a popular tool of choice for survival-minded individuals who wanted a corrosion-resistant 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, listened, and the result was the Jumpmaster.

The Jumpmaster 2 faithfully retains all the key performance characteristics of the first-generation model but packs them into a leaf-shaped blade with an acute point profile. Its hollow-ground leaf-shaped blade is made from ultra-corrosion-resistant H-2® steel and offers the same impressive cutting power and edge retention as its predecessor but with the added benefit of a more versatile point. Injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales with Bi-Directional Texturing™ guarantee a secure grip and are attached to the blade’s skeletonized full tang with corrosion-resistant hardware.

In keeping with its broader scope of application, the Jumpmaster 2 is furnished with a custom-molded, snap-fit Boltaron sheath with a G-Clip™ attachment. The sheath’s symmetrical design allows the angle-adjustable G-Clip to be attached to either side, supporting a wide range of left or right-side carry positions.
