The Shaman is a substantial folding knife that builds upon the proven design principles of the iconic Spyderco Native, offering enhanced size and capabilities. Approximately 20 percent larger than the Native, it retains refined ergonomics while introducing distinctive features. Crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel, its blade features a high flat grind, striking a balance between strength, low-friction edge performance and a precise, utilitarian point. Accessible from both sides, the Trademark Round Hole ensures swift, ambidextrous one-handed opening. For tactical environments requiring discretion, this variant of the Shaman features a non-reflective black diamond like carbon (DLC) blade coating. While its handle echoes the Native's ergonomic spirit, its construction diverges significantly. Machined from G-10 with thoughtful contours, the handle offers a secure, comfortable grip. Inside, skeletonized stainless steel liners within the matte-finished scales reinforce structural integrity and house the Compression Lock mechanism, ensuring robust blade security and easy one-handed operation. Designed for everyday carry convenience, the Shaman includes a four-position pocket clip for versatile left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry options. Complementing the blade's finish, the clip and all handle hardware feature a non-reflective matte black coating. The Shaman stands as a testament to Spyderco's commitment to blending ergonomic excellence with tactical versatility, making it an ideal choice for discerning users seeking reliability and performance in any situation.
