Yeah that definitely feels more secure esp. if you can leverage off the clip. With my luck I'd get a finger just a bit too far inward and shave some off :) It seems like with the Shaman the safer option might be similar to what I've seen left handed folks do with the compression lock. Deactivate the...

In my experience, I’ve never noticed a lack of grip while closing the Shaman due to the scales. (Or Kapara, for that matter) I find it to be almost second nature to hold the knife securely in hand while closing it. (Equally as securely as a liner lock) I can do it with a full grip on the handle too...

I feel like the Shaman is meant to use the choil first. It is a large choil with a big fat nub to make it feel nice and secure. Feels great that way. But because of the large comfortable choil, it just does not feel right behind it I agree. The Polestar made me really appreciate choilless Spyderco ...

Not really concerned with the flippers, from what I've seen there's no profit in it, especially if you aren't dodging taxes. People way overestimate what people are making flipping knives, especially once you factor in someone's time to snag drops. Usually I'll grab a spare for a safe queen or trade...

Have you ever sold anything on Ebay or Amazon? You can figure both are going to take 15-20% of your selling price. Not only that but you aren't going to be able to dodge federal/state taxes like most forum/FB sellers try to if you use Ebay/Amazon. It's why 90% of sellers require Friends and Family p...

Market has gone really weak on 15v's unless it's a Manix. There are posts on the facebook groups with guys selling them under MAP new and they aren't moving fast. I ended up with 4 from a B&H photo hail mary backorder (mind you the backorder took so long I already had snagged 2 I wanted). I ret...

Midway Still has some. I had more than one in my cart...would not let me go further. Just passing it along. :winking-tongue That is strange - I'm also still seeing them as available. Never had any interest in a Shaman, but everyone else's desires have infected me. Market has gone really weak on 15v...

It's the scientist in me, always have to justify the viewpoint!

Highly flippable I'm not sure I agree, the first week or two of the small drops maybe, but now I've seen them sit today on Facebook at $300, plenty of them under $320 now. Sell on Ebay or Amazon and they are going to take 20-25% of your sell price in fees. $300 doesn't even cover drop cost if you p...

Agreed with the slick scales, I'm not a fan of the smooth texture, and the new trend of smooth slippery polished G10 handles. The Shaman makes it even worse with it's handle shape. It's great in the choked up position on the choil, but if your hand is in the "normal" use position, the hand...

Didn't think it would happen but B&H Photo backorder for the win!

OOS 1:50pm These lasted awhile considering hints were given in advance on facebook.

Oh yeah, you can pretty much figure on a site like Amazon/Ebay you are going to lose 20% of your selling price in fees.

Probably more than I'd spend but Sooner State Knives has one listed on Amazon at $368

Couple folks on Facebook reported grabbing one, so it appears they had them. I got two emails with different time stamps for in stock 9:11 and 9:13 again, normally I never get an in stock email and this time I got 2 and still missed out! We've seen a few of these pop up in very low numbers at dealer...

KnifeOutlet: Someone posted on facebook they called the shop, I guess they only had one in stock, and couldn't get it off the website fast enough once orders started pouring in. They've been on Bladeforums for many years, but there certainly are complaints of them charging for items not in stock, an...

Correct it was at the physical store, reported price was $330, and the poster was evidently told they expect another 10 next week sometime.

Just saw a facebook post that the Spyderco Outlet had these available today, 10 of them and long gone now. My guess is it won't be long now before drops start.
