Anyone have any idea when Blade HQ might drop?

This whole experience of trying to get the Z-wear Shaman has been very off putting. I do not see why there cannot be more transparency in the process. It would seem to make good business sense.

Yeah, I don't know...It's not like they can control what buyers do with the knives after they buy them. And making an announced "go live" sale date ends up with hundreds maybe thousands of buyers constantly refreshing the page waiting for the drop. Server crashes and disappointment are served up wholesale. At least this trickle method offers more than one chance at grabbing the brass ring.

Still waiting on the one I bought 2/11 to hit the mailbox. Maybe by friday

I just noticed them appearing on the "New Products" page of Knivesandtools - I hadn't even been aware this sprint run was on its way. Needless to say I thought I better grab one before it's too late. My first Shaman, which I'm looking forward to taking for a spin.

24h and still in stock :confused:

Yeah, 279 euro=$340 so it not surprising that they have not sold!

Yes, I only really noticed the price after placing the order! I realised it's THE MOST EXPENSIVE KNIFE I'VE EVER BOUGHT!
(Usually I draw a line at 200 euros!)

If you are able to get one for 224 $, with customs and vat plus exchange fees you will pay about 260 € (with usps priority mail, standard shipping about 15 $)
You get it in between 2 or 3 days (again: with usps priority mail, standard shipping, I guess you will have it like... uh April or so?), no driving to the customs office, yes, I will take that.

Knifeworks will let you add to cart and order, I assume that means in stock.

In stock at knifeworks again!

Got one- thanks!

Gone knifeworks, review delay here killing fast notices.

Also got one from Knifeworks. Thank you!

I'm finally getting my first Shaman! I've tried to score every single sprint and exclusive with universal failure, so they must have made a lot of these to overcome my jinx.

Is the Shaman clip the same as the Military?

Cool! Glad you managed to get one.

No, the clips are quite different.

Any other knife dealers that haven't dropped the shaman yet

BladeHQ has it listed as "Coming Soon!" https://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderco- ... ck--112415
