Got a Shaman a couple of weeks now and it's moving up towards becoming my favorite knife. Love the contoured g10, blade size, and compression lock. Spydie flicks like a champ.

Mail call! Just received my Shaman from GPknives. Wow this knife is everything I hoped it would be. Thanks for a speedy transaction!

I think this is going to be my new favorite knife from Spyderco looks like it would make a great EDC for harder tasks throughout the day

I can't wait to see the Sprint runs for this!

Awesome overview. I doubt I’ll be able to wait for the sprint runs on this one! Great design, smooth contoured g10 handles, sweet action, compression lock CQI..Love that you figured out you can ‘front flip’ the knife. Many deployment options make for a fun knife, just don’t accidentally drop this one on your foot!

[giants]

Looks like an awesome knife. Thank you for the review

Screams Bushcrafting baby, show me the sprints spyderco!

[MJFallout]

Very cool piece. Might fill a niche where someone thinks a PM2 is neither beefy nor rounded, nor handfilling enough. Heavier and beefier than what I would need and thus buy, though.
Rather, it would be interesting to see how a compression lock would feel and fit on the original Native. (Seeing that the Native, albeit great all around, is not a fast deploying knife.) Maybe the limited handle real estate would make it feel awkward?

[Baruch-Hashem]

I wish you would say both the positive and negative aspects, I know you are a seller, but it would be a more credible review. I love my Shaman, but had to grind off the nub to perfect it. Great knife.

Make this in m4 or m390 or 20cv and im all over this..

[smellslikepurple]

Looks like a great knife! Do you know if it's on the same bushing system as the pm2? That finish is phenomenal, and the flat section on the blade is gonna be great for anyone with a clamp-based sharpening system.

Sal said.. it will be out this month. During the Blade Show. And what's up with the stone Sigh...

[davidengland]

How does it compare to the tatanka which is my current edc for about a year now

[mikejoseph]

How do you call a knife with different shaped scales, lock and blade size a relative of another knife. I understand when Manix2
and Manix2 XL are related, Para 2 vs the Para 3 and the Domino and Dice but I don't see it here. Strange

[lamprozar]

Do you guys have these in stock it said pre-order?

Who's mother opens their knife by way of the jimping?
