No, nobody's said anything about the serrations. They appear to be the same size, or at least as big as the ones on my D'Allara, Pacific Salt, and Rescue 3. But some models, like the Aqua Salt, have smaller serrations, so when a new SE knife comes out I like to check the size. I prefer the big ones for cutting branches, etc. But I'm sure some people prefer the smaller ones for cutting other things.zhyla wrote:The serrations look like standard size to me.

I'm also looking forward to trying out the SE Caribbean.
Does the Shaman have an internal stop pin and blade cutout??SpeedHoles wrote:It is a bit interesting how even the lockback kick was mimicked, even though no longer necessary. Good soft finger guard though I guess.

Check out Nick Shabazz' YouYube disassembly and pivot tuning of the Shaman.ZL1 wrote:My only gripe is that I cannot eliminate side play no matter how hard I tighten. I can shake the knife while open and feel/hear the blade moving. I'm guessing there's a fitment issue somewhere that I haven't found.
That can't be normal for a brand new $150 Spyderco. Or really any new Spyderco. You may want to talk to customer service about that.ZL1 wrote:My only gripe is that I cannot eliminate side play no matter how hard I tighten.

Just watched Nick's video with the Shaman. Unfortunately no luck eliminating the movement. Thanks for the recommendation though!wrdwrght wrote:Check out Nick Shabazz' YouYube disassembly and pivot tuning of the Shaman.
Hi Sal,sal wrote:Hi ZL1,
There shouldn't be any side to side.

When I bought mine I was able to pick from 5 different samples of the Shaman. 4 our of the 5 had blade play unfortunately. Not to the lever you’re describing though. If you can hear it moving there is definitely a problem.zhyla wrote:That can't be normal for a brand new $150 Spyderco. Or really any new Spyderco.
