Didn't see this one coming up that quick!

I bought one from CS when they were "available" and I'm a little annoyed that this appears to just be a preorder, despite no verbiage explaining that. I bought mine on the 10th and I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet, or anything about the status changing from "awaiting fulfillment". My bank account has been charged for it though, which if this is a pre-order is even less cool.

So according to Spyderco's FB post it will release soon?

Cant wait for this one, pre-ordered it. Compression lock, 50-50 choil, countured g10 scales, stronger tip then my para's, excited to get this in my paws, hope it does well so we can see sprints!

Some collector club members have received theirs and it looks like the blades have a stonewash finish. Interesting.

My local shop said tomorrow, 10/19

I keep waiting for my email notifications to come in. I feel like a kid before Christmas.

They were shooting for 90 days from Blade. https://youtu.be/GgnGWMS-Pno?t=4m23s

Also, sharing this pic from toxophilus' post from a Hundred Pacer thread:

Both models are available now at GP Knives.

• Shaman CPM-S30V PlainEdge Black G-10 (USA)
• Shaman CPM-S30V SpyderEdge Black G-10 (USA)

FOR SALE BLADEHQ!!

Just ordered one from Gpknives im pretty excited.

I really like these Shamans.

Compared to the ParaMilitary2, it looks to be more comfortable in the hand due to the contouring of the G-10, easier access to the compression lock and not as wide when closed.

I think it's worth the extra $24 over the PM2.

Of course, I’m a big Native5 fan so perhaps biased.

Curiously, GP Knives calls it Large Shaman! I wonder if we’ll see a Small Shaman with a 3” blade length like the Native5...

Trying to resist for the moment, but this really looks like a great knife to beat on. I'll pull the trigger eventually. Curious to hear what others think about the size and weight.

I like the fact that there's a fully serrated version straight from get-go, that has become a rare sight with new Spyderco designs.

Just grabbed mine, plain edge, if its as good as im hoping the SE will be close behind.

Just scored a plain edge Shaman on BHQ. Looking forward to the mail call later this week.

Agreed. Not sure it could replace my Manix 2 or Sliverax but it looks like a winner to me.
