Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web
C254 RockJumper:
"Designed to fit the needs of outdoor enthusiasts and climbers, the RockJumper is a lightweight, mid-sized, folding knife that’s born to perform. Its broad VG-10 stainless steel blade has a full-flat grind for optimal edge geometry and a full-length, perfectly straight cutting edge.
Designed for unfailing reliability under pressure, its Wharncliffe profile offers everything from extreme cutting power to scalpel-like precision. The knife’s hand-filling handle is constructed with skeletonized stainless steel liners, fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales, and a stout back lock mechanism with a strong self-close function.
Its Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern ensures a secure, non-slip grip, while a four-position hourglass clip and oversized lanyard hole offer a full range of carry positions. Together with the knife’s other symmetrical features, they make every aspect of the RockJumper’s carry and operation completely ambidextrous."[1]
