I tell you, the Delica and Para3 are my top favorites, but this is in the top 3 and maybe equal too my number 1. I like the size and the Bruteness of the knife. Somehow it remains delicate and easy to manage. I dont even notice it on my pocket.

I want another and haven't even really broken this one in yet.

I'm wearing mine with khakis at the office with no issues. The knife carries so well in pocket.

a sprint run with od green micarta and s110v or something similar would be pretty cool!

BD_01 · Sep 13, 2018

How about an exclusive XHP w brown G-10 (or micarta?) as an encore to the KC Manix 2 LW?

That one would get me.

One of the main reasons I've been a holdout on it thus far. The other being the exchange parting me with my wallet these last couple of months.

I'll also second a sprint for something other than CF/S90V. There's nothing particularly wrong with that combination for myself usage wise, it's just that I'd rather see something that's "a little farther off the beaten path" so to speak. +1 for a Cruwear and Micarta combo!

Yep, Cruwear Micarta FTW. Grey G10 with DLC Cruwear would be a great alternative if the Micarta can't happen (I believe Sal said they are stress testing Micarta now to see if it will work). Though on the G10 I typically prefer a bit more texture like their normal peel ply G10 on the PM2 and what not.

Rex45 would be sweet with that Burnt Orange G10 though and Rex is so hot right now ..lol. Something like DLC 4V would be killer too...with Red G10 maybe.

Original Post:

Since this knife has come out I have wanted to get it. I put it off and then the price increase happened and I decided not to get one (not really looking to start that debate - just letting you know what took me so long). I was looking for a big folder that sliced well and this knife kept coming back up for me. I ended up picking one up and I'm really excited to get it.

Update:

The knife arrived today and as soon as I pulled it out of the box I felt like I was holding something special. This is a great design and it fits my hand like a glove. I love the broad blade - really glad I picked this one up!

@Sal Glesser you hit a homerun with the Shaman. I'm excited to see the sprint runs released in this model.

It's the ONLY Spyderco folder I've ever wanted!

Oh come on now!!. You people aren't enablers, you're downright pushers.

Same here. Too many black G10/S30V in my collection already. But I do like the heavy stone wash finish on the blade. Looks great.

I think CF and S90V sound great for this one.

When it was described as having the ergos of a Native, only bigger, it really got my attention. I'm waiting for the dealer exclusives or sprint runs though. M390, Maxamet, or Cruware would be nice.

If all of you guys wait on a sprint run, and sales aren't as expected, then a sprint may never happen.

Although I like options, and sprints are kinda cool, its nearly perfect as is.

i won't buy it as it sits now because its plain so its a sprint run or bust.

Pretty sad when people consider G10 and CPM S30...."Plain".
I don't care if they do a sprint or not, and without intending to sound snarky, it won't hurt my feelings if a lot of people miss out waiting for special instead of enjoying an outstanding offering. <shrug>

The all-black DLC blade Shaman looks beautiful. I'm tempted.

It's a workhorse of a knife!
