Spyderco Forums

While skiing a few weekends ago, I happen to ride the chairlift with another skier who’s helmet was covered with various knife company stickers, including several Spyderco stickers. We had a great chat about knives for the 6 minute ride

Have several scale sets from Matt of https://www.matchandersoncustomworks.com/

He does great work, and will accommodate almost any mix of materials. In my experience micarta with wood enlays are the look/feel I prefer.

Have this one in hand today. The scales have a wonderful soft feel, some of the best micarta scales I have held. And since they are Spyderco factory scales they have the rounded profiles.

This is definitely my favorite Shaman by far!

Oh wow, super cool! Thanks for sharing!

Looks like SMNW has this exclusive Shaman on sale, $229.95 Maybe to align with the "national knife day" theme that is present today

I preorder through Knife Center. It’s unique and with only 1200 made it will be collectable. Who doesn’t like Lady Liberty?

This one is different for sure. Where did you see the production number?

Just a deeper carry clip, for my part. I find the blade shape and ergos excellent, it just rides a tad high in my pocket. A nice red G-10 would look nice too.

Agree, release a sprint or dealer exclusive with a deeper carry and shorter pocket clip, and a micarta showside scale. I am in for sure

Delica 4, Carbon Fiber, CruWear, Black TiCN Finish (C11CFPBK) for $199.95 at Bento Box Shop https://www.bentoboxshop.com/

Somewhat unusual to see BBS leading all other retailers with a very competitive price.

Dropped a Chaparral while closing the knife tip first onto a the tile floor of a kitchen, broke the tip. Into a vice the knife went and some quick passes with a hand file brought the knife back to a pointy tip.Result was maybe a tiny change to the blade profile.

One of my favorite dealers. Super fast from order to shipping, and having and account and logging-in yields a nice price. 100% legit!

Has anyone gotten one of these? Just need an idea of how slippery the aluminum scales are.


The scales are very smooth, much like the smooth G10 from some the KnifeCenter exclusives. I find the texture to be smooth as compared to slippery. Sure Spyderco's normal G10 is very grippy sometimes to ...

I'm honestly wondering if sales demand is actually suffering a bit for the model.


It hasn't been selling. It didn't sell anywhere at the original price and was panned. Small dealers with just a couple on hand didn't sell out right from the first release, which is never a good sign. At MAP ...

Have a Sage 5 Salt on the way....will clad it in some aftermarket scales and move past the yellow :smiling-cheeks


You gonna keep the black hardware with the aftermarket scales?

I ended up ordering the same salty Sage myself.


I like the black hardware and will use with Parsons Bladeworks ...

Dang, wish it didn't have the new pivot. I'd put the oem carbon fiber scales I have sitting around on this one. Love the look of carbon fiber with a black blade and hardware


is it possible to widen out the hole of the scales to fit the new pivot?


The pivot is the same, just the screws have ...

Heads up, these are back in stock again tomorrow 11/20/24.

Nice to see these will be available again. Originally $238 back in 2022, now $299. I would agree tha the burlap scales look like they would be grippy, however for me I find them quick slick

Would a possible fix be similar to the stiff lockbar on the Chaparral? Which is to disassemble and position the lockbar spring slightly further toward the heel of the knife?

Knifeworks exclusive Manix 2 with Forest Green G10 scales and CTS 204P blade is now $159.99

Nice deal for upgraded steel and cool handle color, all for less than the standard G10 Manix 2. If you have some reward points from KW even a better deal :-)
