St. Nicks exclusive Shaman numbers made

[pnwest]

If the Spydiewiki is correct it says there was only one drop and ~425 made. Is that correct? No wonder I can’t find one! Been searching forever.

I am not sure on the numbers but that might not be far off. Under 1000 is pretty common for most drops for a single merchant if I remember correctly.

It's like trying to find a BHQ M4 G10 Jade, hard to find, impossible to find at a reasonable price.

[pnwest]

Yea that one is on my to find list as well but I’ll let it find me. I have an M4 in satin. Cruwear is tough to find as well. That’s the one I want the most.

I missed a lot of St Nick's models and kinda regret it and this was one of them. But I have the Military and Chief and they're among my favorites so not all bad. I've been pestering them on social media to do a Bodacious, I really hope it happens.

[pnwest]

A Bodacious would be amazing

I'd really like to see them do a C95 run. if they are willing to do a dodo I could see it happening.

That sure could be possible. Back in early 2020, St. Nicks only offered up about 500 Manix 2's for sale. Spyderco normally asks for minimum order quantity of about 1000-1200 knives (depending on the number of defected knives (factory seconds) and how many Collector Club members there are at that moment), when producing an exclusive. In that instance, as St. Nicks was unsure of the 4V DLC/Red Manix 2's success, it asked Spyderco if it could change the minimum order to be between two knives. So it became a 500-ish order of the 4V DLC/Red G-10 Mainx 2, and a 1200 piece order of the Paramilitary 2 DLC/4V Red G-10 at the same time/order. For an order total of approx. 1700 knives. As far as I know, St. Nicks has been the only exclusive dealer to get this treatment.

It’s hard to see some of these come and go, can’t buy them all. Really liked the Manix XL 4V they had.

Hi WilliamMunny,

Yes, it is hard to find and even harder to purchase them all. And after almost 50 years of bringing new ideas to the market, some things come and go and they're gone forever. We're in the process of trying to set up displays in the store of past models we've made across the years. Many are surprised to learn about SpydeRenches, Solo's, Q's, etc.

That would be a really awesome thing to see.

[pnwest]

That would be cool. It’s crazy seeing everything listed that Spyderco has produced over the years in the wiki. Huge list!

I remember they went faster than any other Shaman Exclusive I'd ever seen, I was signed into my account and refreshing every 10 seconds, I think about a minute after I got mine they were gone.
