CTS-204P Shaman

#1

Post by michaelm466 »

Just got an email, looks like they're using their dark green G10, which I definitely like on the PM2, for the newer guys this is equivalent to M390/20CV.

Dang! That is pretty. If I didn't already have a Shaman stolen by customs this week I'd be all over it.

KW green is very nice in person, to my eyes at least. I'd be interested, but I way over spent this quarter already. 💸

Maybe someone stateside can get one, pull the blade, then ship the blade in one package and the knife in another. No way that can be declared a centrifugal knife!

I'm good with my REC CTS-204P Shaman. This would be a blast for those who missed out on that one though.

Nice to see 2 different Shaman exclusives this week. Elmax and Grey, and Green and 204P.

If you've been on the fence about trying a Shaman, you should check one of these out.

This one looks really great too!

If I was in the market for a new Shaman, it would be a very tough decision between this Knifeworks exclusive and the grey G10/Elmax BladeOps Exclusive.

Personally, for $4.95 more you get a better steel of CTS-204P over Elmax plus you can pre-order the KnifeWorks now without the timed release!

Just have someone buy it, disassemble, then forward to you in two shipments. I used to offer this to others in cunickistan but never had any takers. Guess it’s easier to roll the dice…

I'm glad this isn't a few years ago or I'd have like 6 Shamans right now haha! This one is a beauty though, great shade of green.

The Shaman has officially become the new PM2, Para 3 of exclusives. Never thought we'd see the day.

What is 204P like? I think Elmax is like a S30V, maybe a bit better.

Elmax is like S35VN/S45VN and 204P is like M390/20CV.

That’s is a very good looking green.

Okay I will put it out there…. If you were going to buy one which is the better knife? Grey Elmax or Green 204P? Is it just color preference or is the 204P a noticeable step above Elmax?

Well, time to sell one of my neglected folders so I can scoop up one of these Shamans.
