Shaman Salt

I held both. So solid. Can't afford it yet. Well done.

It’s very tempting, but has been said the lightweight Shaman would been an instant buy , basically for the reduction in weight. The scales look like they would be a better platform switching clip to left side of scales . MG2

Well, the weight difference is not a ton indeed absolutely seen.. but still the G10 Shaman adds 10% of weight over the FRN version.
For me personally having a lighter knife with imo even better handle material is a win win. (Technically FRN should also be more robust on contoured scales than G10, though this is certainly no real life issue).

Just from the looks the FRN scales in a way look even grippier, but the clip should cleverly land exactly on that smooth Spyderco Logo, so perhaps the "pocket-shred-factor" is not that much of a thing...

And just now I realize that the Shaman LW CAN be had in SE... and I actually did like BD1N with teeth in the Para 3 LW I briefly owned... very tempting...

Waiting for a satin version with fingers crossed

SE ? I did not know this , definitely gets my interest. Thanks !

I plan on getting a Shaman Salt someday. The G-10 version. I like the idea of having a G-10 Salt model; the only G-10 Salt I currently own is a Caribbean. All the other Salts I own are FRN.

I like the tall HG. I'm not certain how it cuts compared to a FFG, like on the FFG Manix 2, or the PM2. But I'm assuming that the overall design of the Shaman has more solidity than the PM2; but again, that's only my assumption.

It's so new, but I wonder if we might see some at the Seconds Sale. If I find one, I'll at least grab a picture.

If by HG you mean hollow grind, the Shaman isn't a hollow grind. It is full flat grind, at least that's what reveal 19 says.

That would be cool.

Yes, I had assumed that the Shaman was a high hollow grind, but I guess I assumed wrong.
