I'm wondering how many people will go through all this for the Shaman, and then realize that model isn't for them!? They can obviously easily get their money back on the secondary market, but the massive hype makes me wonder. It's a large, stout, heavy knife (which I LOVE, having 3 different models myself) But this thought has been running through my mind the past few days.

Hard to say but how do you really know if you'll like any model until you actually have one in hand? I didn't think I'd like the Shaman until I got the SNK 4V. The Cru-carta one was a no brainer after that. I'm pretty sure I'd sell all my PM2s before I'd let the Shaman go

Keep trying guys! I think there's plenty more to come but I've been wrong a few times before. I could've bought one earlier but, I already have the Cruwear one, so I decided to hold off and give someone else a chance. I hope everyone who wants one gets one

We also must keep in mind that the reason why the "Crucarta" was so popular is because people thought the
standard s30v and g10 was too "plain". They all waited on a "upgraded" Shaman, one of which that kept getting talked about was the Micarta Cruwear combination. I don't even think the carbon fiber s90v was as popular, or the subsequent dlc cruwear g10 version. However, I saw that once people did get the Crucarta in hand they realized: "holy **** this knife is amazing why have I been sleeping on it". In fact... a lot of the regular shamans are currently sold out on many retailers.
