Shaman platform doesn't seem ideal for a Salt version due to how heavy it is, but wondering if we might at least see a Magnacut variant even if not part of the Salt series.

Why would it be to heavy to get a salt version?
Being a Salt knife has nothing to do with weight otherwise divers and fisherman would not use Fixedblades as there often even more heavy then any folders.
It just needs to be rustproof and visible in water.

I'm interested in getting anything they do in the ribbed G10 and MagnaCut combo. I'm loving it on my Military 2. I really want a Bodacious Salt.

I've been waiting for the Salmon to be announced for a while. I would assume we are getting a Magnacut version of at least every Golden model at some point. New Shaman releases have slown down since 2023, perhaps partly because of the introduction of the Bodacious.

I honestly would like to see how they would implement the Salt series G10 ribbing to the contoured scales. Would the ribs just be in the center flat spots or would it extend out into the milled contoured sides?

Obviously I would love to see a Magnacut Shaman. I would slightly prefer a LC200N version because it is tougher and I see the Shaman as a tough knife. A salt version would be great for sweat and proximity/exposure to the ocean.

I wonder how they'd do the machined ribs on the rounded Shaman scales, or if this would be the first flat scales Shaman?

The Shaman scales currently are flat. As long as the ribs of that machined pattern do not extend into the edge fillet, they could likely retain the same style of scales on a salt version.

Well that's what I meant, how far would they extend to the edge, if at all.
