Which Shaman is the King of all Shamans?

[M.FREEZE]

Just curious which Shaman is the most desirable in your opinion?

St. Nicks Knives exclusive (Red G-10/CPM 4V)

Knife Joker Exclusive (Forest Green
G-10/CruWear)

C229GGY (Gray G-10/Elmax)

 

[Blues]

M4 (or Cru-Wear)

 

[ferider]

(Used to be the Knife Joker one)

I’ve got most of the Sprints and Exclusives! I’d say the S90V Carbon Fiber Sprint is tops , at least in my eyes. St. Nick’s, Crucarta, And KJker are up there too.

[Anaries]

15v

This one for me, even though I have several, this one sees the most use

 

[argyle1812]

10v

I feel like CruCarta is the answer here, although that St. Nick’s denim micarta variant is a real beauty!

I've only got 2 Shamans -- a standard G10 S30V & a Sprint CF S90V:

The latter must be the "king" to me because it's the only Shaman variation that I have ever had any interest in buying/owning.

This one...



With this one not far behind:

The Bodacious XD

As Sal has already said: "The Bodacious is really [just] a Shaman design with the finger choil removed."

See: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/shaman-vs-bodacious.1993691/#post-22908118

I prefer the Shaman but Sal created the Bodacious for those of you who don't like choils.

There's something for everyone in the Spyderco family. Sal planned it that way.

Out of those you listed, I vote St Nicks for looks. Hard to argue the king right now isn't 15v…. but I'm pretty partial to good ole M4

I was winter cleaning the safe, had to snap an updated photo

Love this photo! Reminded me how many good variations have been released over the years! Pulled some more for family pic. It’s definitely tough to pick a favorite!

For me the shaman has been the "king" work knife for years. (Carpenter and gc for 22 yrs) i carried an orange g10/rex 45 for 1 year straight, and it never let me down in any way! I must say my z-carta is my "ultimate", but if I go by most carry/use, it would be rex45 followed by m4.
