Spyderco Shaman News and Gossip Thread

[KingRat]

The design has been in development for years. In the end, I decided to use non textured 3D G-10 with S30V. "Grip" is in the form. This is a basic to watch the model. Plenty of opportunity for sprints and exclusives. I'd like a version like the new Native fluted Carbon with S90V. I like the way it cuts. Wide flat grind. But made to be a fairly heavy duty folder. Simple, but stout.

Eric and I are considering the Native Chief as well. development is mostly done, should be easy to slide into queue.

Sorry about that. Still getting accustomed to Imgur. :o

As for the Rhino:
Ha! I wish that I could, my friend. I'd send you one today if I had one.

One more vote for being excited about this knife. The combination of Manix-style blade, deep choil, and large enough size to be comfortable (the Native is too small for me to even be able to open comfortably one-handedly) looks absolutely killer.

So...I hear someone's about to win one of these.

The combination of Manix-style blade,

this is not Manix style blade. This is no hump Native style.

I hear what you're saying, though the hump doesn't matter to me. It's the leaf shaped blade and high, flat grind that I like.

Is this for real?

[nicked.onaut]

Yes, it is for real. Ordered awhile ago --I should have given a headsup to the forum then. (yes, in stock)

I would be all over trying this one out, but the s30v turns me off. I hope its a huge hit so they make sprints! I'll buy one of those.

[DougC-3]

Nothing against S30V, but I may hold out for a sprint too. Anyway it's exciting that it's finally out!

What steel would you want to see?
Thanks G-d that S30V is not turning off thousands of people, who are buying Militaries and Paras.

[Redman5006]

I'm hoping this and the PM2 Maxamet don't drop at the same time. Both are a must by for me.

[thewoodpecker]

Looks like they are out of stock at CS...anyone got in-hand pics yet?
