How about a K390 Shaman exclusive?

Look how fast BHQ unloaded the Shaman in “yesterday’s” M4 yesterday. :eek:

I got an email from BladeHQ (as I remember) that the knife was available at 09:58. I opened the link at 10:12. Out of stock.

Seconded! This would be my number 1 request for a new Shaman sprint. DLC 3V with a brown or grey G10. Preferably with texture. Not into smooth handles.

I think what you really want is a cruwear Native 5 ;)

Kidding aside, I think more K390 is always a good idea, I'm in.

Noted, we are always looking for feedback, thank you!

The Shaman is really nice design and is begging for sprints and exclusives I think.

I am in for more K390. 10V or A11 would work too. I'll take a Military, Shaman and G10 Native5. Thanks!

I'm also in on the Cruwear Native5.

If you ask me, the Shaman should have a default steel of M390 and G-10.

All of these ridiculous sprints only satisfy collectors. The spints should be gotten rid of for a CUSTOM SHOP, where one or two steels and one or two blade materials can be selected by the user for delivery.

I'd like to see a re-release flash batch/sprint of the original C95 Manix. Big bad blade with a big thwacking backlock and dino jimping. DLC 3V or DLC Cruwear. Gray or Brown Peel Ply G10.

Non stainless steels are really starting to grow on me. I certainly wouldn't mind giving K390 a try. Put me on the bandwagon!

A little over a year ago I told myself I'd never buy a carbon steel knife...so glad I came to sense, with the help of many of you.

I'd be so happy to see the C95 get another run. I love the CBBL version but the C95 will always be special to me.

I'd want DLC K390 with black liners, clip and hardware, with OD green canvas micarta scales. If we're talkin C95 sprints we're already dreamin :D

We're on the same page there Vivi. My DLC / OD green scales PM2 is one of my favorite looking Spyderco knives. The 2nd Spyderco I bought... I will never sell it. Even in "plain ole S30V" black liners, spacers would have really put it over the top. Still a beauty as is though.

Or maybe make an extra 600 of the PM2 20cv exclusive so a normal human can get one. Do they have bots buying these things up when they hit the market. I was there 15 minutes after they went live - not even close...

Bring another round!

I'd be willing to bet some flippers are using bots now. Its not that hard to do. If you want an exclusive you pretty much need to be ready jamming that refresh button the second it goes live. At some point it will be all bots who get them if retailers don't limit it to one per address/CC/email/etc.
