I'll pass on the Shaman. Might try to battle the hordes again to get a PM2. Happy to have gotten a 15V Manix, so I don't feel any real pressure to chase these. Just would be nice to have a 15V PM2, as I do enjoy carrying that model more than the Manix when it comes down to it.

Same, just sold my regular Shaman, I'm waiting for the Racing Shaman to get another. That 15V PM2 though....

This is probably going to be impossible to get!

You know I'm in for one of these. I watched the manix come and go by with a lot of anxiety but held my ground hoping for this.

Glad to see it, but passing unless eventually there will be a black blade in this steel . Very nice variation. MG2

I was fortunate to get a manix. A shaman would be really neat to try out, but price-wise I'm not sure it makes sense for me.

The thick blade is against brand for BBB but I love the Shaman. Also got my eye out for a Chief, Manix XL, maybe a Millie2? Lil Native for work would not be frowned upon either.

Same feeling here, I got the Manix for $154... $270 for a 15V Shaman is a lot for me. I do want to try for a Shaman at some point but need to get it for a better price, like a second in whatever steel.

This is a great knife and steel combo, even better than the PM2 IMO.

Honestly, I’m gearing up for a big one here…

Like I said on Reddit, Shaman guys are like the eye of Sauron when it comes to a new, coveted shaman release.

Dark riders roaming the countryside whispers of a nameless fear rising in the east

“My precioussssssssss…”

You better include the “Manix 2 15v” guys in with the Shaman guys. The 15v is selling on eBay for 300 now.

I might try to grab one. Probably a better chance to get the shaman instead of the mule. Hopefully the price keeps some of the scalpers and flippers at bay.

I’ve been lobbying for a K390 Shaman, but man I will be pumped on this and the PM2. I’d prefer Micarta, but the Brown G-10 isn’t half bad.

I sincerely hope that a Millie 2 isn’t far behind.

I'm surprised the sequel wasn't a PM2 (edit: nvm the PM2 is on the 2023 list. I couldn't find it on the spyderco website for whatever reason), but the shaman looks like a really nice knife. I'm probably gonna sit out these releases until they bring out something smaller (ideally a watch pocket size knife) though.

Hey now…..the 15V manix is the first I’ve ever owned. First sprint run I got retail, first manix I’ve ever owned. The shaman though……….by far my favorite spyderco model as far as common models are concerned.

I may just pick up the mule, hopefully the drop will be large and it will last at least a half hour, and the purchase quantity will be limited.
