This is how i felt when i was able to purchase Blade HQ Exclusive YoJumbo when it dropped a few Wednesday’s ago. Still pretty stoked i was able to get one
Love the Shaman. I own a BladeHQ Exclusive Spyderco Shaman in CPM M4 and Micarta. I would have loved to get one of these. I really wanted to Manix 2 in 15V.
At least u got your sticker. After about my first dozen spydercos.... they just stopped sending me the stickers and pocketing them for themselves. They owe me a total of 14 stickers.
I need a shaman. I'm heading to Tennessee soon and of course I'm going to stop by SMKW. It's going to be really difficult to make a purchasing decision in that store.
The store is amazing! It's almost overwhelming. I usually have a list of knives I want to check out before I go. Otherwise, it's easy to get lost and have no idea where to start!
Keep the great work up, and congrats on getting them. I’ve been trying to get a manix or shaman for months, checking each day at least once. No luck regardless of time invested haha
How do you like the crossbar lock on the manix2? I'm thinking about getting one. I don't own any Benchmade knives so I haven't really used one aside from the couple times I've looked at some benchmade knives at Cabelas.
I can't tell any difference in actual use, can you? K390 and s30v have impressed me most so far. K390 not until I put a very coarse edge on it, like 600 grit.
Just got my first shaman in elmax which is no comparison to 15v but it does have very high toughness and is corrosion resistant but i cant put it down Kevin, i love it as much as my millie in m4, glad u got that bad boy, please let us know how it holds through time.
Hell yeah man! I had to HUNT for my 15v shaman for days. Followed the blades in stock subreddit, the Spyderco forum, everything. Finally found one at a local shop in Texas before everyone else found out they were there by going through Spyderco’s list of authorized retailers. It’s my first shaman too and I’m stoked on it. Congrats!
What a Beauty. There was a time i remember when i didn't like spyderco knives, but when i got one I've just fallen in love with them, now i am a fan boy of spyderco and cold Steel, i can't have enough of them ever, i guess.
Those 2 knives are what restored my faith in Spyderco. The Para 2 did not do it for me and the 3 was a little better but I couldn't excited. When I got my Manix 2 I smiled for days and that got me to buy the Shaman. If I was going out for a week and I could only take one knife it be the Manix 2
@@doodysdaggers The Shaman is a very close 2nd place. I had no idea how big the Shaman was until I had it in hand. Is the Shaman meant to be a front flipper? I have dedicated front flippers that are harder to open than the Shaman. It seems like if it was meant to be opened that way more jimping would have been involved.
Daaaaamm!!! Awesome bro! Perfect pair right there! I been wanting a manix 2 for awhile now lol. I can’t wait for my company I work for to pick back up again so I can possibly pick one up
I’ve been carrying mine on and off for about a month now. It’s been between this and my BM Presidio II (which I think you should try). I love the Shaman. It was also my first.
The Shaman is probably my favorite knife. It was finicky at first trying to get the action right with the pivot not coming loose but eventually I got it dialed in. I have one in M4 which I love but I rust the shit out of here in Florida.
my shaman 15v will be here today! I also had to order from a site I didn’t know. It hadn’t updated shipping in 2-3 days either popped up last night in Cleveland 20m away. Got the Factor today got the relative, smock, and counterstrike Wednesday. Got the nymble X v2 last Friday. Ordered the Vero synapse XL today. Whew and I got more the past month: zt 0562ti zt 0762 manix 2 LW (unfortunately pivot construction) benchmade mini Adamas SS 2022 LE demko ad-20.5. I’ve become a madman!!!
Damn fine knife you got there, bummer about that missing PM2 though. I think I'd cry if something that awesome just never made it to o me, hope you were compensated for the loss.
I finally found a 15v shamen and it should be here tomorrow. Same situation as what you explained, got the alert from reddit and there was one left on a site I'd never heard of. I bought it before doing any research about the company. The redditors said it was reputable which put me at ease. Should be here tomorrow!
Nice! I luckily found some in stock & was going to get it but back out last minute. I already have a shaman & it’s good to me. Plus I’d be too scared of chipping it.
I'll sell you both. I have a Smock and the new Shaman 15v. I love the Smock but the Shaman needs a different lock the way the nub is and slipperyness of the G10 in my opinion.
I can't imagine having all these amazing knives you own. How do you choose between them!?!? I would go insane 😅 I own some Spyderco knives but just ordered my first Benchmade today. It's the super Freek in M4. What do you think of M4 steel?
@@doodysdaggers thanks!! It was the only Benchmade that felt amazing in the hand. Still love my Manix 2 every day. Choosing makes me crazy hahah i think I am a bit autistic with my folders! Have a nice weekend 😁
sucks that happened with the pm2 😔 excited to hear your thoughts on the shaman though! I put some awt scales on mine and it feels amazing when its slimmed down, but honestly the default g10 scales are pretty special too!
@@doodysdaggers yeah I definitely think theyre great with the awt, removes the big hump in the middle and I kinda prefer that. can't go wrong either way though!
Dude. I immediately started relating to you when you talked about ordering from a random site. Turns out my situation was with the exact same knife lol. I ordered it from an overseas shop called coutelleriemarcin. Took a little bit to get here but it showed up and it was legit. I think they are still in stock there. Probably the last place to get it. Edit: yea as of this post there are 10 left.
@@doodysdaggers yea for sure. I might grab a second depending on how long they are on there. I was hoping I would find other things that interest me on there but that was literally their only shaman. I wanted to keep it a secret but screw it if anyone is watching this and needs it’s, might as well point them in the right direction haha.
Bro I don’t know how to use the discords and shit but I was checking ye ole cutlery cause that’s where I got my para 2 15 v. Damn it I missed the shaman at some point. All good though. I can’t own everything I want.
I had an MKM Goccia, in Red Lava Fat Carbon, not an inexpensive knife, vanish from my mailbox. It was tracked delivered, however, I checked my mailbox personally, within an hour or two of delivery, and it was not there. I live in a semi-rural, exurban area, with very little foot traffic. In 10 years, I have never seen a person that did not belong here, so it was not stollen by a passerby. As a matter of fact, when I challenged the carrier, he said “your package may not have been delivered,” which seems to suggest he knows something. I think he stole it! I filed a complaint with the PO, and bailed when I detected that I was getting the run around. I’ve gotten that from the USPS before. I now have a complaint in at the Postal Inspection Service and the local police. In the meantime, the company I bought the knife from (I will keep their name confidential, to deter scammers) decided to replace it, despite it having been tracked to my mailbox. That company, one of the big ones, has restored my faith in humanity!
I realized that sounded confusing right after I said it 😂 The OKnife Rubato 2. It’s basically a Drop Bear but with a sheepsfoot blade. Same exact handle
Your first Shaman?! I'm going to have to revoke your Spyderco Fanboy License, bro sorry. You need at least five to enter. Jokes aside, congrats on getting your 15V beauty.
@Doody’s Daggers it's nice to be able to find small dealers like them. It gives us a better chance to get these sprints. They are the shop I got my 15v manix from.
My man here is straight fan girling over these blades and I love it. This is the passion we need to see
Haha yes I get possibly too excited about knives. 😂
This is how i felt when i was able to purchase Blade HQ Exclusive YoJumbo when it dropped a few Wednesday’s ago.
Still pretty stoked i was able to get one
I wish Spyderco would up their packaging game for their higher end knives. Like Civivi with the pouch for any priced blade is awesome.
There was a eBay auction with all three that sold this morning for $811 I believe
Woah!
Love the Shaman. I own a BladeHQ Exclusive Spyderco Shaman in CPM M4 and Micarta. I would have loved to get one of these. I really wanted to Manix 2 in 15V.
That’s my other favorite Shaman! I love those contoured micarta handles. I’d love to get some for mine
I got the pm2 and shaman in 15v. I'm trying to get a manix in 15v. The manix is one of my most carried knives.
Absolutely, I think the Manix is Spydercos best well rounded work knife
At least u got your sticker. After about my first dozen spydercos.... they just stopped sending me the stickers and pocketing them for themselves. They owe me a total of 14 stickers.
What the hell! That’s fucked up
I need a shaman. I'm heading to Tennessee soon and of course I'm going to stop by SMKW. It's going to be really difficult to make a purchasing decision in that store.

@@megacab oh I can’t imagine! I’ve never been somewhere like that. Kid in a candy shop! 🍭🍫
Very nice, just scored the Manix 15v. Surprised you have not changed scales…great blade can wait to see what you do with that baby…
Nice that’s a great score!! Yeah I’m actually pretty happy with the stock scales. That is unusual for me baha
I want to ask you what knife did you open that package with
That was the Spyderco McBee!
Keep the great work up, and congrats on getting them. I’ve been trying to get a manix or shaman for months, checking each day at least once. No luck regardless of time invested haha
It will happen man! I’ll keep my eyes open for you
How do you like the crossbar lock on the manix2? I'm thinking about getting one. I don't own any Benchmade knives so I haven't really used one aside from the couple times I've looked at some benchmade knives at Cabelas.
It’s not exactly a crossbar lock on the Manix, it’s much much better. Highly recommend!
Boy do I want a Shaman. Does it run on bronze or bearings?
Bronze washers! Surprisingly smooth!
I can't tell any difference in actual use, can you? K390 and s30v have impressed me most so far. K390 not until I put a very coarse edge on it, like 600 grit.
With the 15V? Yeah definitely. It keeps a bitey edge for longer than most
Just got my first shaman in elmax which is no comparison to 15v but it does have very high toughness and is corrosion resistant but i cant put it down Kevin, i love it as much as my millie in m4, glad u got that bad boy, please let us know how it holds through time.
Very nice! Elmax is sweet

Nice man! Hell yeah, our first Shamans! What a badass first one… this 15V is soooo good
You have my favorite Spyderco, in order my top three are the shaman, the paramilitary 2, and the lil native with the compression lock.
Hell yeah those are all my favorites too! Plus the Manix 2 🤠
What a Beauty. There was a time i remember when i didn't like spyderco knives, but when i got one I've just fallen in love with them, now i am a fan boy of spyderco and cold Steel, i can't have enough of them ever, i guess.
That is the case with a lot of people! After you get one in hand you fall in love. They really are one of the best! 🤘🤠
Thanks for the words of wisdom, Doody!
I tried and was only able to get the para 2. They went fast lol
Yeah they were super hard to get! But you got some 15V hell yeah!

@@jameshitch5041 no it’s not meant to be front flipped. Just a happy coincidence haha
I can barely do it, it’s not easy
The good news is you can buy them for 270 on aftermarket too, market is poo poo
Daaaaamm!!! Awesome bro! Perfect pair right there! I been wanting a manix 2 for awhile now lol. I can’t wait for my company I work for to pick back up again so I can possibly pick one up
Hell yeah! Match made in heaven. Hope you get one sometime!
Is that a wear spot from a clip on the opposite side of the scales?
No, I’m not sure what that was. But it rubbed right off 🤷🏻♂️
Im fortunate to have scored all 3 15v knives as well! These were definitely tough to get and the hype is real, this heat treat is amazing!
Wow very nice! One of the lucky few! 🤠
Yes the really are amazing
I’ve been carrying mine on and off for about a month now. It’s been between this and my BM Presidio II (which I think you should try). I love the Shaman. It was also my first.
Right on, nice! I’ve never tried a Presidio but they look pretty good
The Shaman is probably my favorite knife. It was finicky at first trying to get the action right with the pivot not coming loose but eventually I got it dialed in. I have one in M4 which I love but I rust the shit out of here in Florida.
It’s very quickly becoming one of my favorite Spydercos for sure! Hasn’t left my pocket since I got it 😁
That one is on my want list eventually.I would replace the clip too but I think the contorted scales make the knife.

Very nice 😎👍 I've been wanting a shaman for a while now. Gonna have to pull the trigger on this version. 🔥🔥🔥
I think you will have to, yes 😉
@@doodysdaggers our taste in knives is very similar. Almost everything u post i either have already or is on the list. Lol 😎👍
@@agoodun haha same wavelength buddy! 😉
Sweet video bro! Love the knife.
Nice! I luckily found some in stock & was going to get it but back out last minute. I already have a shaman & it’s good to me. Plus I’d be too scared of chipping it.
Oh cool! If I already had a Shaman I wouldn’t have gotten it either. I’m loving it though, it’s a big beast
@@doodysdaggers You gotta do a cut test with that bad boy!
Congratulations on getting the knife!
I had a really difficult time getting the Manix 2 in 15v. Thanks for the hot tip on the reddit notifications. 😎👍
Me too man! Sucks they are so damn hard to get
That is awesome! The Smock and the Shaman are on my list! Nice score!
I'll sell you both. I have a Smock and the new Shaman 15v. I love the Smock but the Shaman needs a different lock the way the nub is and slipperyness of the G10 in my opinion.

I own some Spyderco knives but just ordered my first Benchmade today. It's the super Freek in M4. What do you think of M4 steel?
Haha I just choose whatever tickles my fancy!
Oh that’s awesome man congratulations! That’s one of the best Benchmades, and M4 is a badass steel!
@@doodysdaggers thanks!! It was the only Benchmade that felt amazing in the hand. Still love my Manix 2 every day.
Choosing makes me crazy hahah i think I am a bit autistic with my folders! Have a nice weekend 😁
I usually go with my cheaper knives with good action to keep my loved knifes in good shape and I hate myself for it lol
Well done. I tried to get one but they were sold out.
They’re really hard to get!
I can't wait to get one myself!! I was gonna go with the black G 10 but that one is gorgeous!!
Yes it’s amazing!! You’ll love it I’m sure
Sweet knives dood. You been scoring all the cool stuff lately
Congratulations!
Very nice beautiful knife!!
sucks that happened with the pm2 😔 excited to hear your thoughts on the shaman though! I put some awt scales on mine and it feels amazing when its slimmed down, but honestly the default g10 scales are pretty special too!
Hmm yeah that’s my dilemma! I think if I do replace the scales it will be AWT though. So the ergos are still really good?
@@doodysdaggers yeah I definitely think theyre great with the awt, removes the big hump in the middle and I kinda prefer that. can't go wrong either way though!
What a great Shaman!!
Congratulations.
Love the shaman
I have this knife as well mine is not very fidget friendly but a keeper it is 👍great video, really enjoying your channel mister…..
I appreciate that! 🤘🤠
