The Shaman is a hand-filling, no-nonsense folding knife based on the proven design theme of the iconic Spyderco Native. About 20 percent larger than the Native, it offers the same refined ergonomics, as well as a few significant differences. The Shamans blade is crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel and features a very high flat grind that balances strength, low-friction edge geometry and an acute, utilitarian point. Its signature Trademark Round Hole is fully accessible from both sides to support swift, one-handed opening with either hand. The scales are 3-D machined from G-10 and thoughtfully contoured to provide a comfortable, secure grip. Skeletonized stainless steel liners nested within the smooth, matte-finished scales reinforce the handles structural strength and form the basis of the knifes Compression Lockmechanism. To ensure convenient carry and keep the knife poised for immediate access, the handle includes a four-position pocket clip that supports left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry. Like the blade, the clip and all handle hardware feature a non-reflective matte black coating.
