Are there any Shaman Sprints or Dealer's Exclusives planned?

#1

Post by _centurio_ »

Hi together,

do you know if there are any new Sprints or Dealer's Exclusives planned? Or new versions with different handle colors or new coatings?

I love the Shaman, it is my favorite knife ever.
I love my S30V stonewash version.

But I also would love a DLC coated M4 version or something like the REC version. Unfortunately I am not able to find one/was too late to pick one up.

Here in Europe, it is quite hard to get those sprints or exclusives.

But who knows, maybe there will be a FDE TiN coated blade with OD green or brown handles for regular production 😉


Thanks and BR Oliver

Hey Austrian compatriot ;),

Don´t know anything about new Shaman sprints, but Palo Art actually contacted Lamnia sometime last year if they´d do a (and the first) European dealer exclusive, see this viewtopic.php?t=95535 thread....
Perhaps you could advocate for a Shaman there, or they´ll even do more exclusives over time, just like American dealers, and one could be the Shaman... ?
Top three going by pocket-time (update October 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1)

I am in a similar boat. I really try not to spend more than $200 on a single knife, but I also want my first Shaman… something will eventually give, I have a feeling it will be when the right spirit run catches my eye.

Hi together,

thanks for your answers.



I will write a post in the Lamniabthread, maybe something will happen...😉

I hope for more regular production versions, maybe with the new coatings Eric talked about.

I also really hope that the Shaman as model will be continued for long time. It doesn't get the love it earns.

It is the most badass EDC/working folder ever imo. And it should not be changed a bit.

A K390 version would not hurt my feelings either. Just need nice scale for it.

Denim micarta has been my wish for the last couple of years. Would also be a nod to the blue of the seki k390 models

You got some nice ideas 😁

I hope that the Shaman as model will never be discontinued... It is quite pricy but worth it, I hope that there will be sold enough in future.


Do you know when the new Reveal is going to happen? I hope for regular Shaman Sprint Runs, because then I might be able to pick that up even in Europe.

Anyone hearing any rumors? Eric mentioned there were a few in the works. MagnaCut could be nice, but yellow G-10 might look funny.

If you could pair different color scales on a MagnaCut Shaman what would it be? Anyone think it’s even possible?

If they ever did make a Shaman Salt with g10 scales, I would guess that they might use the black and yellow layered G10 with a fishbone style pattern. Something similar to the PM2 Salts or Caribbean.
