Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
As I said I was in a shell pit near Orlando today. No signal in the bottom of the pit, but when the group climbed out to the trucks, emails and messages started popping in. That was at about 11:40 EDT. Then by noon signal cratered again. I wandered around the pit with my phone in the air like an idiot. Finally gave up and put it away. Checked 10min later, and I had 1 bar! Eureka! I had signed in and updated CC info yesterday, so I hit refresh, add to cart, and checked out! Then I lost my bar, but I managed to get the order in. So stoked for this one. I like M4 very much, and the green micarta will be fantastic.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
Did you pay for a premium shipping option? Do you mind sharing which part of the country you’re in?
I was going to, but opted for “free two-day business shipping” to see how it compared to DLT’s free shipping, which is often 2-day. I don’t have any shipping info yet.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
I also used the free 2 day ship with UPS. I never got an email about shipping. However logging into my account at BladeHQ it showed as shipped same day as ordered, with info and number. UPS says it delivers tomorrow!

Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
I just used the free shipping option. From some other posts on another forum, it looks like maybe they did free 2nd day air for everyone? Idk.kennethsime wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 10:16 amDid you pay for a premium shipping option? Do you mind sharing which part of the country you’re in?

Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
Mine was shipped UPS 2nd day air and I sure didn't pay for it (not directly, anyway) so I'd assume that was the deal for everyone.

And here I had to spend $30USD to have it shipped to Canada with a tracking number..Buddafucco wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 3:18 pmBladeHQ has "FREE 2-DAY SHIPPING on domestic orders over $99!"
Still stoked though! After the fiasco/disappointment of the Cruwear and Zwear Shamans, I couldn’t be happier I snagged one of these bad boys. Hopefully M4 is as great as folks say.
Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
Mine is scheduled for delivery Friday. Back in the Shaman game after selling my S30V not really digging the stonewash finish and G10 scales. The inside of the scales at the edge were sharp typical with Golden standards not chamfering or rounding the inside edges. I wish someone from Taichung would take over the Golden fit and finish dept.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
Yep, I got mine today as well! In NC. That was fast! Took my Dodo like 3 or 4 days.
CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!
Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
Same here. Didn't get a shipping notification until this afternoon.
Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
Just got delivered! Looking forward to putting this thing to work and watching the patina happen on the blade and handle. Although out of the box it was pretty stiff and off-center so I had to fine-tune it and will let it break in some more. Great job Spyderco and Blade HQ!
Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
I'm hoping I like the size when I get mine today. I have not held a Shaman so am pretty uncertain about it based on the one time I saw one at the SFO. I thought it was huge then. However seeing pics in this thread, if it is a contoured Manix 2 sized handle then I will probably like it.....

Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
It’s about the same size as the PM2, slightly larger than the Manix. I think it carries nicer in the pocket than the Manix though.troutinCO wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 10:12 amI'm hoping I like the size when I get mine today.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
Look what was waiting for me on the porch when I got home from the field! (I appreciate the bland shipper box BHQ is using)
With my Z-wear Shaman scales broken-in and smooth, I’d forgotten how nice the raw matte micarta feels to the touch. Maybe time to scrub the brown scales for to bring back a little texture.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman
Just got mine out of the box and into my hand. It's really nice and not big feeling at all. Now for that lynch clip.....
