Not sure what steel yet.
I'm loving those scales though.

Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
I want that variant so bad it hurts a little bit. DLC M4 with those scales…the things I’d do to score one. Greasy!
Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
I just bought a M4 native 5 LW. This one looks so nice tho.
If we spent as much time trying as we do doubting, we might have already accomplished it.

Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
I already have the satin version, but would have preferred the DLC. Hmmm, I’m tempted….
Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
i prefer stainless steels. i've never used m4 and i hear it's great, but it leans a little too hard into entropy for my tastes, especially for the price.TheGiant80 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 5:33 pmI have extremely limited experience with M4 and so I ask…what don’t you like about the steel?

Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
Fair enough. Thanks for the reply. Speaking of stainless, I’m looking at the S90V carbon Native Chief sprint right now. Another steel I have virtually no experience with.ladybug93 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 6:17 pmi prefer stainless steels. i've never used m4 and i hear it's great, but it leans a little too hard into entropy for my tastes, especially for the price.TheGiant80 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 5:33 pmI have extremely limited experience with M4 and so I ask…what don’t you like about the steel?
Anyway, I’m not trying to steer this thread away from that sweet Shaman. Sorry folks!

Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
The crazy part is that this Shaman is nearly 3x the price of that Native.

Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
Funny, once I saw this one I thought of you and wondered if you'd chime in haha. I'm in the same boat. If I didn't have a Shaman, or only had 1 Shaman that was a satin blade, I'd no brainer grab this one. Great combination of materials!kennethsime wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 8:16 pmGorgeous.

Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
Any idea on a release date?
Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
I live in the desert. The only steel I have that has rusted on me is m4. If you look at it wrong it oxidizes faster. I don’t understand bhq’s infatuation with m4. There’s plenty of other exciting steel choices and they continuously choose a rust prone steel.
Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
Yikes, this one will be $281 with tax, steep!

Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel?
If I hadn’t scored the Satin version, I’d be all over this. The Shamans have been getting more pocket time than the PM2s lately!TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 8:38 pmFunny, once I saw this one I thought of you and wondered if you'd chime in haha.
