Hi Hank,
Thanx for the explanation. I always appreciate all input. I just thought to explain our thinking in this area. We also appreciate your support and thought sharing. That's how we learn. It's sort of Hegelian, but as philosophy minor, I've learned a lot from those deep thinkers. Thesis - antithesis - synthesis. Actually, Eric thinks the same way.
FYI,
I'm working on a new design based on a modified Shaman pattern so I pulled out all of the original drawings. The first drawing of the Shaman was dated December 17, 2014. That can give you an idea of how long I work on some of these creations.

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
Since some are posting motivational photos, here's one with a pregnant mantis:
For those still searching for a Crucarta Shaman, don't lose hope and please don't be rude just because you can't find one. It's just a knife.
I have missed out on several limited :spyder: knives and I survived just fine. There have been plenty of reasons like: being at work, being asleep for shift work, spending time with family, or simply forgetting or not knowing about a release date.
I also refuse to pay over MAP, and that's okay too. Life goes on. I still hope that everyone here finds one eventually.

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
I've never seen a pregnant mantis, but a few years ago my Christmas tree had Mantis eggs in it apparently, and the warmth of my house triggered them to hatch. There were baby Mantises EVERYWHERE in my house. It was pretty incredible! :eek:

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
Back when I was living in Redding, CA and we were having a very big locust problem, I imported Chinese praying mantis eggs and hatched them every month to deal with the locust in my vegetable garden. Very large bugs. Large enough to catch small birds.

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
That sounds simultaneously adorable and a bit troublesome. Wrangling a bunch of mantis hatchlings has got to have been difficult. Hahahasteelcity16 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:59 pm

This little lady was found having trouble climbing my car tire, so I put her back in a tree.
Whoa! I've only seen/handled up to about a 4.5" mantis. Catching small birds is on a whole other level.

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
Ok admittedly I have had a few beers tonight to celebrate my shipping notification of my shaman, my last post was to advocate a shaman with burgundy scales and 3v steel and wanted to see if it gained any traction and came upon sal saying this thread is odd and then posting pregnant praying mantises being used as pest prevention.....hahhahahaaha just trying to keep up, thanks for everything love to you all!!

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
Missing this one has reinforced my realization that it’s better to be on the selling side than the buying side :p . This time next year I hope and plan to have a website running, and an exclusive commissioned. That said, I’m happy for all of you who got one. I’m loving the pics I’m seeing in this thread! :D
BRING ON THE MANIX XL SPRINTS AND EXCLUSIVES! And 10v or K390ify the Golden lineup, please.
Top 5 folders I’ve owned: Serrated Caribbean Leaf, Shaman, Manix XL, ZDP-189/CF Caly 3.5, Native LW.
Top 5 steels I’ve owned: LC200N, K390, CPM S90V, M390, CPM REX45.
Top 3 steels I want more of: M390 class, A11 class (including K390), CPM REX45.

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
The Shaman is my current favorite in the Spyder line up. I have the s30v, an M4 with custom Micarta scales, s90v carbon fiber, and 4V DLC with Red.....
I didn't bite for the Cru-carta, not likely to go for the Rex-Rose either. Both are amazing, but I've got 3 amazing Shaman and one work horse Shaman already. I'd never say never to picking up another, but it would have to be something truly exceptional.

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
Sal,
Yes to OD Micarta! And Either Cruwear or K390! Cruwear is my favorite steel so far, but I've been itching for K390! I like the "ranger green" that BBS did with the PM2. The OD micarta that ShephardCC does is outstanding!
Last question, do you cheer for CU? My grandfather and father both graduated from CU Boulder and I love the Buffs! Part of the reason why I love the Golden made Spyders!
Thanks for being awesome!

I personally may hope it will be some kind of backlock-Shaman....?!sal wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:50 pmHi Hank,

And maybe the second step towards making the "Native family" the line that offers EACH "familiy member" in both a comp lock and backlock version (like it is already the case with the Lil Native)? So Lil Native, Native, Shaman, Chief?
I still think, this would be a good idea, since these seem to be by far the two most popular Spyderco locktypes (I think the chance that one does NOT like both comp. lock and backlock are very small) and the Native familay a very popular "line".
Even did a poll about this very topic some time ago: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=84760
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)

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
Or maybe a shaman fixed blade??? I'm sure a backlock folder would be popular, too, so long as it doesn't lose the contoured scales.Wartstein wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 8:27 amI personally may hope it will be some kind of backlock-Shaman....?!sal wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:50 pmHi Hank,
