I think it’s a better design over the Shaman, especially without the finger choil, thinner blade stock, and angled plunge grind.

🍻 👊🏼

I would love the prices to be back in that price range! 😂. Feels like their pricing is now more reflective on their brand name and reputation rather than the materials.

@@andrew5117 Appreciate the shine and support homie! 🙏🏼 👊🏼 I have so many more Spydercos in my collection compared to other brands 😆 I got you!! You’re the first on my list should I decide to switch up one of those Hinderers 😬

@@TriedandTrueEDC Yes sir you’re doing a great job happy to support one of my blade forum bros! Awesome man I appreciate that I have a slightly unhealthy love for Hinderers 😂

@@andrew5117 My man 👊🏼 🍻! Lol, I know that feeling - I question my unhealthy love of knives in general quite often 😆

@@TriedandTrueEDC it’s definitely a sickness 😂

@@andrew5117 🤣

My man 🙌🏼. Let us know how you like it. Appreciate you watching the review and for dropping a line! 👊🏼 🍻

@@TriedandTrueEDCI hate the finger/sharpening choil. It’s annoying when cutting down boxes especially with downward force. I’ve used it for years on many knives like manix 2, etc super annoying. I’m glad they got rid of it. The handle should be what’s in contact with our hand not the steel of the knife. It allows for more leverage. I also like how it’s thinner. Thick knives truly suck at cutting things. And I like how the width of the knife is large so as you keep sharpening it, there’s so much of it left. The PM 2, etc is already a worn out knife to begin with.

Nailed it! I’ve gotten so used to finger choils on Spyderco’s I’ve just accepted it 😂. Then I realize how many knives I also have, for which I enjoy, that don’t have one. I honestly think the Bodacious is much improved over the Shaman, whether or not that was the intention. Somewhat a tangent, but the way Oz did the finger choil on the Roosevelt is a much better design imo.

It’s a definite improvement without that nub. Really hoping they put out some sprints or exclusives on this model! I got my mat off Amazon: a.co/d/01u5aGC7 Hope that helps!

Thank you 🙏🏼! Figured people would appreciate the close ups and callouts. Good point about the angled grind, I can definitely see it being more user friendly for people sharpening on an angled sharpening system. Ideally, I’d like to be more proficient at sharpening on stones, but have not invested enough time in learning - got spoiled using the angled ones 😂

👊🏼 🍻

$155?! Holy moly that’s a 75% increase over the years! Interesting, thanks for clarifying that for everyone!

​@@TriedandTrueEDC The shaman prices have always been kinda nuts, IMO. The first sprint run, the cf/S90V version, was $280, the same price the S90V/Ti Millie was the year prior and a couple bucks more than the Mamba was.

@@CNYKnifeNutGood point, I do recall how much higher in price the first Shaman sprint was. I wouldn’t have guessed the Millie equivalent was priced that high 🤔

😂, I had the same challenges - told myself I didn’t need it, but as soon as I saw one drop from Indiana Knives, I snatched one up. Chalking it up to FOMO I guess. I’d agree about preferring S30V over M390 (find it more challenging to sharpen in my personal experience).

A 15V would be amazing! Really, any tool steel would be nice 😂

Yes! 🙌🏼 Let us know your thoughts!

🤣 yes!! 🙌🏼

@@TriedandTrueEDC👍🏻👊🏻

🙏🏼 I had her practice it a few times before filming 😅

I’m looking forward to how it’ll patina on the brass scales!

Yup, Chad Nichols Damascus. They have a Magnacut version as well.

It really is something to behold, thanks for your support brother! 👊🏼

I’m 99% sure you can as the only difference is the liners not being milled out - unlike the PM2 and Millie 2 Crucarta models having exposed liners.

I’ve only put it through light use - food prep, but no box cutting yet. I’ll follow up after further use! Love me some K390 👊🏼

100% agreed! 👊🏼

Don’t know what took me so long to get one! 😂

@@TriedandTrueEDC I was thinking the same thing but I don’t have one “yet” 😆

@@thefactor6909😂

Lol no, those are my buddy’s, but I do have a few other ones I bought her 😂

I’m not familiar with the Gator, but now I’m intrigued! Thanks!

I don’t have too much experience with 154CM, but looking forward to putting it to work!

Me too! Handle is definitely the biggest plus for me.

It fires hard - reminds me of a Protech.

I’d agree that this knife isn’t made to be a slicer, but more of an overbuilt option. This is the nicest design I have from their line and it’s definitely a looker lol. I do like how they continue to create interesting designs too. I won’t be an enabler…. 🤣

The artwork is legit!

Sweet! I can't recall if I ever handled the Gen 1, but certainly enjoy the one I have right now.

I was a bit surprised myself when I saw this pop up for what I thought was reasonable, lol. I can’t recall if I mentioned the cost, but it was $275 off BladeForums. I wonder if they’ll release the Millie 2 with a titanium handle.

I hope the do a re-release of the flutted ti scales

@@chriswebb3018yes!! That would be lovely

Mine is too, favors the clip side (RH carry). I haven’t tinkered with it, but there’s a chance it may improve after a good ol cleaning/re-lubing.

You know, I do recall the mini K2 being very well-balanced! Haven't tried an AG Russell, would you recommend the Acies?

@@TriedandTrueEDC Absolutely! It's possibly my favorite knife. It's not perfect, and it's 15 years old but it's basically an Inkosi with none of the aspects that the CRK detractors complain about most. Edit: I do a bit of prototype testing, and for the first time ever, Im gonna be able to publicly document the process. I'm gonna make a video comparing it against a few good, bad and mediocre framelocks. I'll be going into a ton of detail about the Acies.

@@CNYKnifeNut sweet! Looking forward to that comparison! I’ll need to start researching the Acies now 😂

I've always had a KME or EdgePro in mind, but ended up trying multiple WorkSharp options -- may opt in for an upgrade when I move into a bigger house lol. Which steel did you feel took the longest to sharpen? I've sharpened my Para 3 Maxamet and it was surprisingly easy. Thanks for the shine 👊

@@TriedandTrueEDC 🤔probably k390. I was new too sharpening and I got it sharp but not as sharp as I k ow it could be. I’ve been just wearing down factory edges in my collection and slowly getting back into sharpening.

@@DuhYaThink I haven’t tried sharpening K390 yet, only have a PM2 with that steel. I’ve realized that 90% of knives I’ve sharpened end up being sharper than the factory edge, and I’d consider myself an intermediate. Something cathartic about sharpening your knives 😂

Lol, I honestly don’t fully understand why I’m all about Ti folders. Part of it may be from the wear overtime and the overall “feel” in hand.

@@TriedandTrueEDC That’s fair 👍🏻

Very nice! I have a couple Millies in the collection, but have always wanted the fluted Ti. I've seen the heat colored ones, but was never compelled to pick one up.

Thanks brother! Got my eye on the OG should it ever pop up for a reasonable price 😂

I think it's worth checking out if you find a good deal on one, but nothing earth shattering. The allure outweighs reality imo.

@TriedandTrueEDC definitely not something I'd overpay for. There's not much of that going around these days thankfully since the secondary has basically tanked on everything

@@chucknunface Agreed! It’s nice to see the secondary isn’t outrageous on the Bowie.

I tried the Drunken a while back and remember the pocket clip being a hot spot for me, so I ended up passing on it. Then I see all these A.purvis clips on them 😂. I would agree about the washer frame locks from Spyderco being very well done. I actually prefer the Spydiechef a bit more - the Paysan would’ve been nice on washers

@@TriedandTrueEDC your right the stock drunken clip is bad, I currently have the lynch milled clip on mine. The paysaan is a good knife but way to thick and cut like crap, also mine had bad lock stick so I sold it. But I bet it would of been good on some thick skiff washers.

@@chriswebb3018 I love me some Lynch clips lol. Yeah, the Paysan is not meant for slicey tasks at all. I've never tried Skiff washers, but have been reading how popular they are -- especially on the Rosie. What are your experiences with them?

@@TriedandTrueEDC I think the skiff washers are great, especially cause there only like $5 for a pair. Currently I have them in my mcnees Mac 2 3.5 and my full size Arius and they are perfect for those 2 knives because they have heavier blades. I tried them in my rosie but prefer bearings, the blade is so light that it didn't feel as free moving, although I didn't give it time to break in either. I'd give them a shot, especially if your gonna use them in a knife with a heavier blade. Both my mcnees and Arius are still drop shut but instead of a guillotine, they are more of a controlled drop shut.

@@chriswebb3018 I took your advice and bought 4 pairs! 😂. One each for my McNees, Arius, FSD, and Paysan. Thanks for the recommendation 👊🏼

Sweet! Not too many around where I live, it’s all mostly online shopping for me lol.

It’s a nice little fixed blade, I’ll bring it in sometime!

I periodically kick myself for not grabbing both of those when they were available!! Very nice that you have both!

@@TriedandTrueEDC I sold the Bowie as soon as they skyrocketed in price, but the K2 is still one of my favorite and most used knives. I put CF scales on it to make it a liner lock. It's probably the knife that's had the single biggest impact on my preferences. I think if Spyderco would have made their other frame locks from that era (advocate, domino, mantra) on washers instead of their horrible version of bearings, then the Bowie would never have become what it has.

@@CNYKnifeNut I had one of the Mini K2’s from Farid and liked the design, but wasn’t sure how I liked chisel grinds so I sold it, plus it was a bit blocky. I can’t recall if the Techno 3 is on washers, but that one intrigues me.

I showed my daughter all the options and she chose this one lol

I’m looking forward to putting some miles on this one and will most likely start looking at other LTW models

Good ol Gerber! Got you entered homie, thanks!

I’m on the hunt for the right Whippersnapper!

Credit goes to my daughter for picking out this particular one 😅. Sold out so quickly I didn’t even have a chance to grab one for myself 😂

Yee! Thanks Bry! You're in homie!

Congrats!! Winner winner chicken dinner: ruclips.net/user/liveuYrND4foTBk?feature=share

So good to have your support brother, thank you!! 👊🙏

@@TriedandTrueEDC 👊🏻👍🏻

I actually really like it, and it’s sharper OTB than I led on in the first impressions.

Beautiful knife brother !
