Spyderco C229GSBK Shaman - 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. For tactical applications where light discipline is a concern, this version of the Shaman also boasts a non-reflective black Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) blade coating.
The fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ that proves its Spyderco lineage ensures swift, reliable, one-handed opening with either hand. The black DLC 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 DLC black coated 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.
