Spyderco Shaman C229GP - CPM-S30V Blade - Black G-10 Handle

Though its inspiration is clearly drawn from the iconic Native model, the Shaman offers much, much more. Similar ergonomics of its proven inspiration, but in a larger, more capable format. In fact, this workhorse could give the Manix 2 pattern competition, as it is roughly the same size and will deliver the same performance.

The true heart and soul of any knife is its blade, and the Shaman delivers where it counts most. The CPM-S30V stainless steel blade, though technically a saber grind, performs like an FFG blade, but with a prominent swedge (unsharpened back bevel) - hence a saber grind. The blade shape creates outstanding edge geometry and an acute, utilitarian point. 

The fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ that proves its Spyderco lineage ensures swift, reliable, one-handed opening with either hand. The stonewash finish blade is housed in an exceptionally refined, ergonomic handle, built with nested skeletonized stainless steel liners and contoured matte-finished G-10 scales. This robust construction forms the foundation of the Shaman's high-strength Compression Lock™ mechanism, which locks the blade securely open and allows safe, easy one-handed closing. To ensure convenient carry and immediate access, a stonewashed four-position pocket clip offers left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry. Available with either a PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™ blade, the Shaman offers powerful cutting magic in a stylish, user-friendly format.

    Spyderco Shaman Checks all the boxes

    Posted by Brenton Carr on Nov 6th 2017

    So, I've been waiting for this knife since it was announced earlier this year. I love my native 5 and was excited to see something in a similar format only scaled up in size.
    I really love the way this knife feels in the hand. The ergos are spot on for my XL hands. The sculpted G10 really makes this a comfortable knife. The blade is stout and looks great. It came very sharp and the grind was even and well executed. The stone wash on the blade and clip look great. The compression lock and nested steel liners make this is a big and tough knife. It is a wide and large knife, but due to the curvature and contouring of the handle it's really quite good in the pocket. It's no delica when it comes to pocketability, but that shouldn't be expected.
    The action wasn't great out of the box, but a little fine tuning really fixed that. I think that the value is here on this knife. If it was s35vn instead of s30v, I'd be blown way.
    I would highly recommend this knife if you want a big tough user blade.
