Some people have spoken about the Shaman vs. the Manix 2, but has anyone handled the Shaman and the PM2? Actually, I think the ultimate comparison would be between the Shaman, PM2, and the Manix 2 with back lock, since the last mentioned is the beefiest version of the Manix 2 (that I know of, not counting the XL.)
 
What are you comparing? I don't understand? Just in general?
 
The Shaman is sturdier than the PM2. The one I had did not free fall and hadn't broken in enough for flicking- but I don't flick. Anecdotally, the comp lock feels thicker on the Shaman and the pivot damn sure is bigger than the PM2. The Manix 2 is wider closed which bugged me enough to sell mine. The Shaman I have seller's remorse over. At least it went to a cool member who I enjoy trading with...that said I am not a PM2 fan.
 
The Shaman is a somewhat heavy hard use folder. Still usable and not a sharpened pry bar, but not gonna carry in board shorts kinda stout
