Works fine for me too!
Definitely a pretty stout and heavy blade. I imagine the balance of the knife isn't the greatest? Not something I've ever cared about with a Shaman, but taking a guess.8th_Note wrote: ↑Mon Jan 05, 2026 1:04 pmI'm really digging this Shaman LW. I really like the grippy FRN, this is a great design. The stonewash finish is beautiful. And the edge grind is perfect and very very very sharp right out of the box. The action is perfect too.
I've never had an issue with BD1N steel. I think it will handle most of my tasks perfectly well. I'll update if that proves to not be the case.
So far I'm impressed with this knife
One thing I would like to have seen on a LW knife though, is standoffs instead of the steel back spacer. It would have saved a bit of weight (for a LW, this is a heavy knife). I may look into doing that as a mod myself and see how it feels.

The balance is right behind the choil. Basically the same spot as on a PM2TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 05, 2026 1:53 pmDefinitely a pretty stout and heavy blade.

I've been edcing my Lil Native LW everyday the past couple months now, I personally love how easy BD1N is to work with. Yea, it dulls rather quickly but man does it sharpen up quickly! Less than 2 minutes and it's already back to shaving sharp, every time.
