Dang you now I may have to pick up a Caribbean even though it’s made in TaiwanSumdumguy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 8:33 pmJust got home and checked mine out, it's a nice knife. Love the micarta and the contouring.
As for the design, it's nice, but I don't see it competing with my Caribbean. The clip makes a bit of a hot spot in my palm also. I'll kick it around a little and decide whether or not it goes in the trade fodder pile.
The Caribbean remains in the pocket, it's feels like a much more fleshed out design. The Shaman needs a bit of work, maybe we will see a Shaman 2.
I may give a more detailed review/comparison in the future.

Same, I'm still EDC'ing my Caribbean. The Shaman gets carried more on my days off and around the house but my work knife remains the SE Caribbean. A big part of that are the serrations, but I still prefer a knife without a choil and the Caribbean is just about the most perfect folder I've owned. I may need to see about having some contoured scales made for my Caribbean.
All SE all the time since 2017

Sounds like this Cruwear Micarta Shaman craze is already over ... wheww, thank goodness.. now maybe I'll find one!Sumdumguy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 8:33 pmJust got home and checked mine out, it's a nice knife. Love the micarta and the contouring.

I've always thought the Shaman should come with a cordura nylon belt sheath (for folded carry vertical or horizontal). It seems on the big (fat) side for going into the front pocket (just me & my preferences). I've always looked at it conceptually as a folding fixed blade. Fixed blade stout but more compact carry on a belt; less length and dangle to get caught up on things or when working thru brush, and to keep from sitting on as well.

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
I'm in the same boat after feeling the contouring on the Shaman. I want some Contoured CF, while still maintaining the original grip pattern.Evil D wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 7:11 amSumdumguy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 8:33 pmJust got home and checked mine out, it's a nice knife.

The Caribbean would truly be unstoppable at that point!

I wonder how those will do once everyone knows for certain that they're sold out.

Check out the sold and completed... there are 37-38. Didn't do the arithmetic, but average price might have been 300.

Glad I got mine for 208

Got mine delivered to my parents, it's been there since last week. Probably won't be able to get it until this weekend.

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
BOOM!!!
Goes tha dynamite!!! WooHoo!!! :cool: :spyder:
A generous forum member wasn't thrilled with the size of the Shaman upon receipt of this one, and offered it to sell it to me for what he had into it! :cool: It landed this afternoon. Love it!!! :D
After handling it a little bit, I wish there were more heavy-duty folders like this with canvas micarta! Feels great! :spyder: I get caught off guard how almost dainty my PM2's feel after carrying the M4 one for awhile. Speaking of, here she be with her sibling:
Now time to get her dirty! :D :cool: :spyder:

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
Apparently you haven't heard about the Supreme Court case last year? Pretty much all online retailers should be charging sales tax by now (with few exceptions). Enjoy it if you find one that isn't, they're now likely officially breaking the law. :rolleyes: :mad:
LOL! :rolleyes: Sub $400? Whoop-dee-doo! They not only should be sub $300, but should be selling for closer to $240-$250 if people weren't so flippin' greedy! (See what I did there? ) But, flippers... :rolleyes: :mad:

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?
Mine favors the non-show side ever so slightly. And I couldn't care less. It works just fine. I bet if I loosened up all the screws, tweaked it a little and tightened them back down, I could fix it if I wanted to.
Lol, it worked, didnit? :pblues wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 6:48 pmDoes that mean we can look forward to more? Oh joy...SpyderPhreak wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 6:32 pmThanks Darby! I guess my whining paid off this time, lol! :rolleyes:
Few sprints would elicit such a response from me. Blue Denim/K390 might be another. :eek: And I still can't stand flippers... :rolleyes:
