Sal, now that I have a Shaman- I have to ask

[twinboysdad]

Please god no more Jade G10.

It is getting overplayed for sure

[Evil D]

Or a jade shaman in m4

Sign me up. I'll pay up front.

I believe that Blade HQ has decided that Jade is their "Signature G10" for all of their special spyderco runs.

Uniformity has its place but I rather like unexpected variety. I have BHQ's jade PM2 but don't seek it in other of its M4 exclusives.

I think the Shaman is reminiscent of the Caly when it comes to seeing how much blade a handle can cover. Proponents of "as much as possible" ought to be happy with it.

As for BHQ's jade G10 & M4, I got the PM2 and Manix 2 mainly for the M4 and wasn't too fond of the jade on the PM2 but really liked the Manix. Don't know how jade will go with the DLC Manix, but I've been wanting a DLC Manix with FFG and a more premium steel for a long time, so it's next on my list. I may dye the scales black.... or maybe Coyote like the Yojimbo, if I could pull it off without messing it up... could always revert to black if I did.

Knife center, order some pakkawood m390 shamans please...

[BrianMcCord]

A shaman with polished marble carbon fiber and M4 would be a must have.

...and what's with all these black handles? Kidding...

In all seriousness, I really like that Spyderco puts out such diverse materials. Some of them may not be my 'jam', but I know there are many other 'not-me' people that do enjoy these scales (jade being one). There is always the after market scale option, or the 'just don't buy it' option.

Not putting down anyone's opinion, hopefully.

+ 1 :) ... unless maybe you're committed to buying two of every knife being produced or belong to the collector's club, which includes exclusives as well as sprints. Spyderco is being so prolific now, some CC members may be having to mortgage the farm, but I really like having the variety to choose from. And lately I've been surprised to find that once I have the knife in hand, a color I've shunned sometimes turns out to be one of my favorites, like the orange S90V Manix as well as the natural M4, which is currently in my pajama pocket

Knife center, order some pakkawood m390 shamans please...

I love your idea. Count me in

[Carlito555]

Pakkawood m390 please

[Wanimator]

Pakkawood M4, to fit the HAP-40 patina.

[Braand]

Any chance the handles can have the tip down holes removed to cover the washers better? and the choil protrusion into the compression lock shortened?
