First test run with the 4v Shaman, and first tastes of fall.
Nice pic!
And how did he Shaman perform?
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

And how did he Shaman perform?
So far I haven't asked it to do anything difficult, but I do love it in hand. I'll put it to harder use starting a fire in the soggy pit later.
I also really like the ergos of the Shaman, just perfect (don´t own one, but could try one twice). I have L to XL hands, and since you are a woman I just assume you have smaller ones, right?
If now the Shaman is great in hand for you (your probably smaller hands) either, the ergos must be really outstanding

Yeah, I have longer hands than the average woman, but my hands are definitely smaller than my husband's, for example. And the Shaman is definitely a larger folder than I typically carry, but it still feels very comfortable. I think it's the fact that the scales are contoured, but not super "fat". I have that problem with fixed blades sometimes - some fat/thick contoured handles are meant to completely fill a man's hand so I can't get a good grip around them. Also very boxy scales on a larger knife will dig into me where they might not on a man's hand. Not so with the Shaman - great balance of contoured, yet slim for its size scales.

Make sure they are ripe! :p
I've had a few persimmons but usually just when finding them in the woods. It's a unique flavor.
We like to trick newbies into eating one that isn't ripe - makes your whole face pucker up. :D I make a killer persimmon bread with the ripe ones, or fruit leather. We're lucky enough to have about 15 trees within sight of our cabin.
