@GerbilKor Yes. I ended up unsubbing from the legendary Wranglerstar. He kinda got a little boring and more opinionated. Fair enough, more power to him, but I feel he dictates his opinion as opposed to many folk who offer their educated opinion without expectation of blind acceptance as gospel.
Brad I'm with you. I recently unsubbed him as well. Added Advanced Knive Bro. Equally opinionated but far more sarcastic and doesn't take himself (or us) as seriously.
I generally like his content. But the combination of preachiness and blatantly wrong information makes it necessary to take anything he says with a grain of salt.
I have the Caribbean largely because of your review, and I have the Shaman largely because of Nick’s review. Thanks for the great videos, even the crazy ones.
I love my Shaman, but then I love my four PM2’s, my three Para3’s, and one each Sage5 LW, Native5 LW, etc. I think Spyderco knives are masterpieces in ergonomics.
Spyderco moves slowly but we may soon finally get a Magnacut and/ or LC200N Salt Shaman! I’m hoping for a G10 version with scales similar in design to the ones on the PM2 Salt.
My shamans are my favorite general EDCs…and that’s coming from a massive collection. They’re just ridiculously comfortable, good at basically anything you’d need it to do on a day to day basis. There are better slicers out there. There are sturdier “hard use” knives. But the shaman splits the difference right down the middle for my purposes…not only that but it carries like a much smaller knife. If you can ever find a crucarta version for the right price, *that’s* the one to get. The crucarta shaman is my favorite thing that spyderco has ever done.
@@jamesgurr7678 cruwear is tougher with better fine edge holding ability. Rex 45 a much harder steel with longer edge retention but not as good of fine edge holding abilities. More of a tough working edge steel. Also cruwear is more stainless of the 2, even though both aren't stainless steels. I have the z wear version which is almost the exact same as cruwear and the m4 version which is very close to rex 45 and that's my experience. Although I do like rex 45 a bit more than m4, just prefer hard steels.
22:45 - My tip barely goes up nowadays. Except in the morning when I wake up. I really appreciate Spyderco making the majority of their knives with 4-way (not going there) carry options. Oh, and of the three knives, I'm Caribbean all day.
Easily my favorite Spyderco. I added a sharpening choil and ground off that little nubbin thing, didn't like it banging into my finger everytime it swung close. Thanks for the review Pete!
Thanks for your heads up on the Caribbean, I picked one up for a 2 month beach camping trip and I love it even more than I anticipated. Much lighter than it looks and the LC200N takes an incredible edge and holds it well. Wonderful knife.
Please do a cut test review of CTS-BD1N steel. There is a lot of disagreement as to how much better CTS-BD1N is compared to CTS-BD1. (The new Para 3 Lightweight is going to use CTS-BD1N.)
Excellent review and comparisons. Good on you for adding facts about coast not equaling value. Not terrible margin and for all of us that have a PM2 and use them,,,we can agree a more comfortable Spyderco in that vein with just a bit more size has been rolling around our head. Really no need to look further. I have a stronger passion for the USA Earth Co and for that reason and like I said,staying in that vein the Shaman in a sprint run sporting Cru Wear is it for me!
Shaman is now up to $231 at KnifeCenter - fortunately I got one on sale for $184 via the Black Friday sale and had $50 in points at KC, so I got it for $150 shipped which wasn't too horrible (although I did order a deep carry clip from MX Gear, so that's another $28). I have a Para 3 in CruWear that I love, this will be my second Spyderco and I'm really looking forward to it. I wanted a knife to fit in between the Para 3 and my Cold Steel AD-10 in regard to overall robustness, and I figured the Shaman is a good fit for that. My Para 3 has been my go-to favorite for years for carrying around and lighter duty use.
In my understanding, a sabre grind is basically just a flat grind that doesn't go all the way up. I've noticed that many people in the hobby don't even use the term sabre-grind anymore, they say things like "almost full flat grind" or "a flat grind that goes almost all the way up." I agree that Shamans are over-priced. But I still love mine, and consider it one of the best one-and-done-do-anything knives out there. I've never had a Caribbean, but I do use my Shaman outdoors quite a bit, and I've found that it excels at woodsy-bushcrafty type tasks, right size, right shape, right handle. Interestingly, mine did NOT come with a sharpening choil.
Good one Pete, and timely for my first Spyderco acquisition research. Helluva rope-cut count for S30V. Wish they would do it in a better steel for the price though; this is Elmax/M390/CPM 20CV territory. I am wavering between this and the lovely typical Spyderco S90V Manix 2 in blue G10.
jacksonperoc frenchzfourtout it is...just wish it was a bit grippier. Slipped from my hand using the compression lock. Maybe somewhere in between their standard g10 texture and this would be perfect for me.
Hey Pete 1.Make some manly pillows with those twisted sisal rope cuttings. 2.make some fancy sisal rope micarta scale material ( new hobby) 3. Make sisal char rope for them times when you just need to have practice with a ferro rod or flint &steel. 4.Replace mustache should a certain lawman ever need one. 5.Cat litter.
Pete awesome review. Hope that you still enjoy doing this stuff even with all the haters. Cause I look forward to the reviews. Thank you. I think you title the different videos well enough where they could be avoided if people didn't want to see them so. Keep it up man. Lol.
I'll definitely be getting one at some point. It pretty much does everything right for me. And yea, the scales are definitely the *bold* part of that knife. When i can find one for around 150 ill probably pull the trigger. Good review though friend.
yeah if i was trying to keepnit nice I shoulda taped the blade face to stop the WS guide from marking it. some light sandpaper gets it back to okay though
Nice...great review. Seems to me you are a very creative person. But it was good to hear a great review of a knife since I was under the impression reviews were why you are here. Don’t misunderstand me, as I find your vids entertaining also, but after this review I am convinced you can do both. So bravo on this one. BUT....LOL. I did notice that you don’t respond much to viewer comments much. Not a big deal , but it might improve your fan base if you connected every now and then. Even if you told me to f... off, it would be better than no response at all. Ok, I know you can’t respond to all comments, but once in a while shouldn’t take to much out of your busy life.
I can't think of a Spyderco that comes with an adequate sharpening notch or choil and despite their 'constant quality improvements' not a single one gives a nod to the necessity of resharpening. Until now. I'm assuming that was done by the previous owner. My reason for asking is your thoughts on resharpening Spydercos (since you do a fair amount of sharpening). ConfusedUs say: Man with tip down not likery to fuck up.
Maybe you didn't get real stuff I wouldn't knows, but I'd imagine if it was the real deal you wouldn't be able to type as well as you just did SO THUMBS UP FOR THAT! You're still healthy as an eagle = )
I have the Spyderco Police 4 and Resiliance. I like the resilence a tad better but the Police 4 has the better steel. Both are nice every day carry I think.
Hey Pete , another good "full" review . I like the looks and performance , but I think its still a bit overpriced , especially with s30v . My favorite Spyderco work knife is the ZDP-189 Endura , at $104 (US) the knife is practically unbeatable...
I implore you, kind sir, never EVER stop doing the Crazy Shit Videos. My friends that have zero interest in knives always get linked to those entertaining excursions into insanity by me, and all of them, without exception, have a howling good time. I guess I am one of those rare people that have never liked the overall look of most Spyderco's, but this model is kind of nice. Having said that, I do hope to one day buy the SpydieChef, based on your reviews, and its ability to last virtually forever in all environmental conditions, particularly on the coast where I live.
Heya Pete! I've just purchased a Shaman in REX45 steel (I think it was a sprint run), and I was just wondering if, from your usage and experience, the REX45 would be an appropriate steel for this slightly larger, intended for harder use, Spyderco knife? I don't know much at all about the attributes of REX45, except that it is supposed to be quite a hardy and tough steel. Is this true? Thanks in advance for any help- and keep the videos coming- some of them are hilarious😁👍✌
No Manix 2. DLT Traiding just realeased one in cpm-20cv. Wonder how many blister it would give you cutting rope for days. Handle is quite ruff its my first Manix 2 so I dont know how it compares to others.
I liked the as you say “nut ones.” It shows you’re a real life person. We are all real life persons. I was in education for 30 years and when I was out and about kids would be so “I’m sooo surprised to see you” like I don’t have to go to the store. I will watch anything you produce.
I kinda wish they release a Shaman in Lc200N. I want a rust proof knife to use on a boat but I feel that the Native 5 is too small and the Caribbean is too fat. Spydiechef seems perfect in size but I want compression lock....ARGHHH or even a Manix 2 in lc200n will work...
Hey Pete great review! Another thing I’ve heard people complain about and which bothers me for the price is that the backspacer is far from flush and the grinding on the backspacer inside the handle is horrid. Can I hear your thoughts on this please? Thanks
I am by no means a steel expert or anything close to that, but have you ever considered if the cut marks on your board have any effect on your cut tests?
my output has slowed as I’ve taken on a bit more in my real job. also trying to get those extra few shots and tests in per video which makes for fewer actual releases
Pete - please could you assist me in my dilemma; I can get the Shaman or the Manix 2 in S90V at pretty much the same price - which of these 2 do you reckon I should go for for my first Spyderco, and why?
Cheers for the reply. I bought the Shaman, and though it has many good attributes others have named, I find the price and the idiot way the ricasso slams into your thumb when closing the compression lock a bit unworthy of Spyderco’s reputation. I am used to lesser reputations performing without such fundamental flaws. You are likely right about the Manix 2 being the better choice. I hear the lock can be sticky - is this an issue that can’t be readily fixed?
If you dont put tape on each side of the blade when you use a worksharp you'll eventually have permanent scratches on each side. This is from pulling it through the worksharp and having it rub against its own metal filings and filings from other knives.
14:05 This'll sort the poor attention skills of a few people (like me). I got slightly distracted and had to rewind and pause to read it. Pretty impressive.
I have the shaman and, while I don't own a para 2 I have held one, the shaman's ergonomics are super comfortable. I really love this knife and recently I've decided to downsize my knife collection but I'm keeping the shaman in my front right pocket!
Now now Mr Pete, I'll be super sadface if you stop giving your devoted fans more of that 'All your base are belong to us' video production brilliance. I love that stuff! Damn, I even sub to that crazy guy and his mum 'Indibeau' (I think that's how it's spelt). He produces some bizarre brilliance. However, his last couple of holiday videos have been 'normal'. Oh, this review is really, really good. But I'm only halfway through so I may change that good to superlative (yes, I've just had some relaxation therapy so I'm a tad chatty).
I keep waiting for a sprint or exclusive in M4, Cruwear or another tough wear resistant steel. I just cant swallow the price for S30V on this model when I can get another Spyderco that's valued better or even another brand like a BM Contego in M4 for the same money. Spyderco is dropping the ball on the Shaman. It could be an amazing knife.
I really don’t get the Shaman. It’s like Sal said “You know what people don’t complain about enough? How much pocket space the Manix consumes. Let’s make it thicker!”.
FlamQ Dbltap Not saying I have a problem with it. I carry a Manix 2 LW at work almost every day. It’s just that in the forums and FB groups that seems to be the number one thing people bring up in the never ending Manix vs PM2 debate - “It takes up too much room in the pocket”.
56 dislikes to 250-some likes? That barely qualities as controversial. Shoot for that 50/50 ratio, like wranglerstar.
@GerbilKor Yes. I ended up unsubbing from the legendary Wranglerstar. He kinda got a little boring and more opinionated. Fair enough, more power to him, but I feel he dictates his opinion as opposed to many folk who offer their educated opinion without expectation of blind acceptance as gospel.
Brad I'm with you. I recently unsubbed him as well. Added Advanced Knive Bro. Equally opinionated but far more sarcastic and doesn't take himself (or us) as seriously.
Wranglerstar is a weird dude. Really useful stuff mixed in with clickbait titles and self-help style life advice.
I generally like his content. But the combination of preachiness and blatantly wrong information makes it necessary to take anything he says with a grain of salt.
I have the Caribbean largely because of your review, and I have the Shaman largely because of Nick’s review. Thanks for the great videos, even the crazy ones.
which one do you like the best?
I love my Shaman, but then I love my four PM2’s, my three Para3’s, and one each Sage5 LW, Native5 LW, etc. I think Spyderco knives are masterpieces in ergonomics.
U have any Manix I wanna try the manix and shaman and bodacious and a few other but I also wanna get a seb or zaan
Shaman is my favorite Spyderco. I have 3 in different steels, but I’m really waiting for one in LC200N.
Spyderco moves slowly but we may soon finally get a Magnacut and/ or LC200N Salt Shaman! I’m hoping for a G10 version with scales similar in design to the ones on the PM2 Salt.
I’ve had mine about a month now, still rocks! Definitely not disappointed
I love my Shaman. Its big and burly, with nice ergos. It even looks like Sal Glesser imo.
My shamans are my favorite general EDCs…and that’s coming from a massive collection. They’re just ridiculously comfortable, good at basically anything you’d need it to do on a day to day basis. There are better slicers out there. There are sturdier “hard use” knives.

If you can ever find a crucarta version for the right price, *that’s* the one to get. The crucarta shaman is my favorite thing that spyderco has ever done.
I ended up with the Dymondwood and REX45 version. What would the difference be between that and the cruewear model?
@@jamesgurr7678 cruwear is tougher with better fine edge holding ability. Rex 45 a much harder steel with longer edge retention but not as good of fine edge holding abilities. More of a tough working edge steel. Also cruwear is more stainless of the 2, even though both aren't stainless steels.

5:32 That snaptwangthonk sound the Amalgam makes is amazeballs.
In a million years, I’d never of thought to use my spyderco knives for carving toy violins for dolls! Ha ha ha ha! Excellent! 😂
The Shaman is hands down one of my favourite Spydercos of all time. The handle has that ergonomics that people thinks the PM 2 has.
22:45 - My tip barely goes up nowadays. Except in the morning when I wake up. I really appreciate Spyderco making the majority of their knives with 4-way (not going there) carry options. Oh, and of the three knives, I'm Caribbean all day.
Great title sequence! Enjoyed the Saitama cameo.
Easily my favorite Spyderco. I added a sharpening choil and ground off that little nubbin thing, didn't like it banging into my finger everytime it swung close. Thanks for the review Pete!
That sharpening choil was added after purchase. Spyderco does not include one on the Shaman.
Makes me think of how much I'd like the Stretch with a compression lock and countered G10 handles... And LC200N... Dreamy.
Thanks for your heads up on the Caribbean, I picked one up for a 2 month beach camping trip and I love it even more than I anticipated. Much lighter than it looks and the LC200N takes an incredible edge and holds it well. Wonderful knife.

Another GREAT REVIEW with SUPERB Innuendo ♥️ 👍 KEEP Em coming Pete
Great review! I’d love one in Cruwear or LC200n. It does seem a bit expensive: maybe contouring G10 adds to the cost.
11:25 caught me off guard and I couldn't stop laughing. My wife now thinks I'm insane. Thanks Pete!
handle is piece of art
jacksonperoc frenchzfourtout it is...just wish it was a bit grippier. Slipped from my hand using the compression lock. Maybe somewhere in between their standard g10 texture and this would be perfect for me.
omg, everytime i see that worksharp i flinch. love to see the k and e. anyway, love the channel.
Hey Pete
1.Make some manly pillows with those twisted sisal rope cuttings.
2.make some fancy sisal rope micarta scale material ( new hobby)
3. Make sisal char rope for them times when you just need to have practice with a ferro rod or flint &steel.

Love the music!
massive undertale phase at the moment
@@CedricAda Reminds me i still have to play that game. I know the game is supposed to be great, but this music is awesome too. Never heard it before.
Let's hope this beautiful knife get some speedrun treatment!

I need a “this gets my tip up” clothing line
Supposedly they even filled in the 3 holes around pivot on handle on newer ones
Cold steel Lawman or Shaman as Edc knife?
No edits! 😜🤘🏻🇨🇦
Have you tried putting the shaman blade into the pm2 handle? curious how well that would work, if at all.
I’m going to go ahead and say that’s absolutely not going to work
I am by no means a steel expert or anything close to that, but have you ever considered if the cut marks on your board have any effect on your cut tests?
I want one but damn when Manix is 35 to 90 price difference hard to get on board
Shaman Cf S90V version - would you buy it? Sprint Run C229CFP
Is that sharpening choil after-market? I ask because my Shaman does not have that (although I do add them to my Spydies).
You see 56 dislikes, I see 56 people that don’t recognize GREATNESS!!
You spelled gayness wrong
Have we both been on Hiatus?
my output has slowed as I’ve taken on a bit more in my real job. also trying to get those extra few shots and tests in per video which makes for fewer actual releases
I miss your crazy, arty videos.
Pete - please could you assist me in my dilemma; I can get the Shaman or the Manix 2 in S90V at pretty much the same price - which of these 2 do you reckon I should go for for my first Spyderco, and why?
Cheers for the reply. I bought the Shaman, and though it has many good attributes others have named, I find the price and the idiot way the ricasso slams into your thumb when closing the compression lock a bit unworthy of Spyderco’s reputation. I am used to lesser reputations performing without such fundamental flaws. You are likely right about the Manix 2 being the better choice. I hear the lock can be sticky - is this an issue that can’t be readily fixed?
If you dont put tape on each side of the blade when you use a worksharp you'll eventually have permanent scratches on each side. This is from pulling it through the worksharp and having it rub against its own metal filings and filings from other knives.
The blood is now dark from the times you nicked yourself, shows how far we have come.
I must decide btw the shaman and the pm2 🤣
What stone sharpener is that?
Is it stonewashed?!
14:05 This'll sort the poor attention skills of a few people (like me). I got slightly distracted and had to rewind and pause to read it. Pretty impressive.
Thank god you compared that Spyderco to all those other Spydercos! Love ya!
Where is video for amalgam??
My Paramilitary 2 in M4 seems like it wouldnt be as hard on hand, not all that jimping on that back of the handle.
I want one. But I want it in M4 and jade g-10. So I shall wait.
Para 2 S110V is cheaper at this point than the s330v shaman. I’m pretty lost at this point which to get.
I have the shaman and, while I don't own a para 2 I have held one, the shaman's ergonomics are super comfortable. I really love this knife and recently I've decided to downsize my knife collection but I'm keeping the shaman in my front right pocket!
My hands are all muscle.
"Shaman!" - Michael Jackson
@thechugdude yep, me too.
And I miss the Handel of this knife. I said it’s by far the most comfortable Handel spyderco has made.
Wait !! There have been crazy videos ??
check my unusual vids playlist heh
I like the crazy videos
Now if they made a salt version like they did with it's little brother the Native , that would make your tip turgid with joy .
Do one knife review then one space cadet vid!
As Leyton says,
“COME ON”!!!!!
I think Ken is more of a cello kinda guy to be honest.
At least that’s the way I heard it.
By the way I love your video's
Now now Mr Pete, I'll be super sadface if you stop giving your devoted fans more of that 'All your base are belong to us' video production brilliance. I love that stuff! Damn, I even sub to that crazy guy and his mum 'Indibeau' (I think that's how it's spelt). He produces some bizarre brilliance. However, his last couple of holiday videos have been 'normal'. Oh, this review is really, really good. But I'm only halfway through so I may change that good to superlative (yes, I've just had some relaxation therapy so I'm a tad chatty).
All this time over 20 videos and I was thinking you were saying "workshop edge" when in fact you meant WorkSharp edge.
I think its more expensive because of all the extra finishing work they put in it.
Watch your tip !!
Handfat lol!!!
Thanks for the great vid.
Tip up joke got the like 😎
Talking about value...
I just got a Manix 2 20CV for 129!!!
love undertale music!
When will that poor cutting board give up the ghost
I keep waiting for a sprint or exclusive in M4, Cruwear or another tough wear resistant steel. I just cant swallow the price for S30V on this model when I can get another Spyderco that's valued better or even another brand like a BM Contego in M4 for the same money. Spyderco is dropping the ball on the Shaman. It could be an amazing knife.
I likey !!!
Try tip down carry, I find it more comfortable.
I really don’t get the Shaman. It’s like Sal said “You know what people don’t complain about enough? How much pocket space the Manix consumes. Let’s make it thicker!”.
