- Eric Glesser breaks down the Spyderco Shaman.
Thank you for your continued trust, confidence, and interest in Spyderco and our products. We are honored to serve you.

Great video. And don’t worry, we all forget the washers from time to time!
it was killing me
Some of us forget more than others Nick😂
I like your reviews Nick but keeping your interactions with the manufacturers of the products you review at a minimum would give you add credibility. Reviewers who are in the pockets of the manufacturers don’t sit well with most viewers.
@@davidlocke1668 You're pitiful
@@davidlocke1668 don't worry he's been a Spyderco fan before sponsoring RUclipsrs was even a thing.
It's so cool that the guy running the show at Spyderco gets in front of the camera, talks about and breaks down their products. I really appreciate this.
Eric, DM me if you guys want a passionate knife/steel nerd at your Golden plant. I'd even do janitorial work or answer phones to work for such a stellar company... and live that close to Mount Evans.
Keep these vids coming!
It says so much that Eric is taking apart one of their products for everyone to see. I’ve got nothing but respect for spyderco. They really seem to love what they do. You guys rock.
Would love to see more of these reviews from Eric. Explaining the rationale behind all the little design nuances makes me really appreciate the blade more, especially coming from a Glesser.
The Shaman in M4 has become my everyday carry. That's a big deal (for me at least) as I've carried a knife everyday for over 50 years. I'm convinced that Spyderco has the best heat treatment of all production knives.
I'm waiting on my M4 now, a great tool steel with micarta scales, the temptation was too much to resist.
Crusty_ Otter That $$$, though!...Oy vey!!!
After decades of owning and collecting dozens of Spyderco knives, I will finally be adding a Shaman to my extesive collection tomorrow.
Thank you much, for doing these videos Eric. We love 'em.
Very well done.
👍🔪🍺😎
I'm anxiously awaiting my first Shaman, a Micarta scaled M4 model. Such a great design for a hard use, work folder. This is one model that I'd love to see in a fixed blade, maybe with a larger 4.5" - 5" blade in a good tool steel like M4, 3V, etc.
That’s my only shaman and I LOVE it. What a freaking beast and total work horse. I’ve got many Spyderco’s and this is one of my main go to knives.
Just got it today and for me its the best Spyderco ever! I personally like sturdy heavy folders with a strong tip. So thank u for this great design 👍🏼👍🏼
My favorite Spyderco (actually my favorite folder overall). Have a few of them, but the Cruwear version with carbon fiber scales (I added) is my EDC back pocket knife. I think if you carry a Shaman, you are ready for any task you may encounter. 💪🏻🧐
This is my favorite knife. The stretch, manix and twosun’s ts270 are up there as well…but there’s something about the shaman that just makes me happy. I think it’s the beautiful simplicity, comfort in use and fact that, if you needed to, you could really get some work done with it. Specifically the z-wear shaman…if I were forced to sell all of my knives but one, there’s a good chance that would be the last one standing…
Just a fabulous company to deal with and fabulous products- a company many other companies would be wise to pattern themselves after. I’m thrilled with a new little Chaparral with Birdseye Maple scales- the machining is simply impeccable.. I’ve never been disappointed with a Spyderco. Great value.
How many other people were shouting "washer!" at their computer?
I figured he knew what he was doing
Yeah... Lol
Thanks for reaching out to your customers...😉🙃🤗
I love my Shaman and was surprised when I got it at how heavily it was built.
It really is an excellent hard use knife! I also love my lil Native which is my
office EDC. I have a lot of Spyderco knives and love them all.
Great work guys!
All in for the Micarta Cruwear! I gave away my original dlc and now EDC the s90CF. Love this knife!
@jdedge i got one! stonewashed would've been great too but now that I have one in my hand I'm very pleased. I feel so lucky to have it and the action is perfect. I'm excited for more versions of the Shaman.
Very well done video. Fun to watch Mr. Glesser talk about a knife in such great detail. Would love to see more of this type of video!
Great Knife and Intro Eric! Thank you! 💯🙌🏻😀✌🏻🤙🏻
One of my favorite Spyderco knives, great overview Eric.
Excellent presentation! Thank you as I just ordered a Shaman!
I love that you do these videos I’d like to see them for all your major knives. Watching reviews is great but to hear why design choices were made from the maker is priceless.
What a fantastic company and a true enthusiast son of the founder. Love you Eric👍🏻🤠 Keep it going forever and ever. Regards from Spyderco fan in Norway. Ps. Fell in love with the knives and the company in the 90' when these knives really found there way into my life from a knife shop owner in Oslo, Norway.
Eric thanks so much for putting out these great video series!! Really good information it’s much appreciated!!!👊👊
Very cool video, happy the Shaman os finally getting the recognition it deserves.
Just got my second Shaman today (05/04/2023). Unlike my first one, this one came perfectly centered, had no blade movement and was drop shut out of the box. Loving it. 😊
The best production knives on the planet and I love Eric's choice of wristwatch as well the humble G-Shock
Beautiful knife.
It truly is a great knife. I own three of them. G10, Natural G10, and the Carbon Fiber versions. Looking forward to the micarta version. Thanks for the video Eric.👍🇺🇲
Loving these videos. It would also be cool if you did breakdowns of a little older models like the pm2 or the delica 4 etc. would like to see the perspective and why you designed the knives the way you did/do. Love Spyderco knives
I love this piece...
That was great thanks, Shaman is one of my favourites by far. So happy to hear there are other versions/flavours coming out.
I have it completely blacked out hardware and all.
Big fan of Spiderco knives. For outdoor activities I was waiting for a knife just like this, it has the dimensions, practicality and build quality I was looking for. Great!
Sick G-Shock Eric! A man of fine taste in all things!
Love the Shaman. Thanks for the great cider Eric.
There is no doubt the shaman is one of, if not the most beloved spyderco knifes, can we have an explanation as to why there so much priority to produce redundant variants and re-stocks of less popular designs meanwhile the shamans are remain out of stock, with no re-stocks in sight and with no knew variants?
Since retail prices have risen by 53% since its release, it can’t possibly be because it’s not lucrative or worthwhile to produce for spyderco, so what’s the hold up, we’re dying for more here! Love the brand, just want to understand what’s the holdup on the phenomenal model.
I am really loving these videos. I am saving up for one of the exclusives coming soon. That micarta looks great too.
Another informative and entertaining video. Thanks for doing these, Eric.
Just picked one up, love it...💪🇺🇸
Micarta + Cru-Wear...? YES PLEASE. 🤩
Lovely blade indeed! TYVM, Eric👍🏻🍀
I'm glad he forgot the washer, shows it happens to even pros, but I think he did it on purpose to make us mortals feel better. Great video, love my Shaman.
I love that it doesn't have FRN scales. I love spiderco with g10 scales better it feels right and substantial. Great knife. I'd love to see some marcata scales to some day . I just love Spyderco . Great video.
have to look out for the sprint run - not long ago Blade HQ did an exclusive Shaman in M4 with Canvas Micarta - I missed out, but that was NIIIIICE
Would love a left hand version like the pm2 LH. Thanks 🐱
I agree, but it will be at best like the pm2. Only the base model would come in left handed version, all the exciting sprint runs and exclusives would be for right handed folks
When you take that Nub Down so it is not covering your lock bar is so much better and easier to close .I put a coil on myself i am pleased with my shawman . I cleaned the Foster Bronze Washers and polished Them now i can flip reverse flip closes and has a great action ? The shawman is harder to Tune than my Para 2 & 3 are easier to tune .
I would love to see a video on the Paramilitary 2 or Para 3, especially the lanyard hole disassembly. There are so many creator content videos on RUclips making a violent work of the lanyard hole.
Awesome. Thanks for this video Eric. Can you please do one with the Manix 2 series, that's one of my all time favorite. It's one of you designs, right?
I love my S90V and CF version. Please, please, please make the micarta and cruwear version!
Knife center has the Shaman Cruwear with brown micarta now for preorder.
Mark JG don’t mind if I do! Thanks!
I don’t have one of these but now I’m adding it to my must get list. Thanks for doing these kinda video just bought a para 3 lightweight cause of your other video. Thanks
Thank you Eric!!
What a great knife. Love that Jade one. If you ever have one that is scratched or damaged during manufacturing, I'd be happy to buy it if it's cheaper. Would love have to one. Got 4 kids, Lol. Not much extra money.
Eric it’s time to upgrade or make a sprint run of the Shaman in Magnacut. Pretty please. 😁
Please produce more knives with different kinds of steels. Love to see more knives in K390, M4, Maxamet, and cpm20cv.
Thank you spyderco for this kind of video. But please do a paramilitary 2
Thanks Eric!!
My next spyderco
Amazing Vid. You and Sal are my favorite celebrities!! #LoveSpyderco #EricGlesser #SalGlesser ♥️🙏🏻👊🏻✌🏻🙌🏻
Please add a standard micarta version to the lineup. Thank you
You are a cool dude, man.
This knife is perfect for me, I’m loving it
This video should be titled "how to make $200.00 disappear from your bank account".. lol
Excellent!
I'm really looking forward to a long run of these in CPM-S35VN!!! Please!?
Please make a lefty version of this knife!!
Very nice!! Thnx for this video!!
It’s time to start including the sharpening choil as a stock feature.
Sorry, Isaiah! Even though we hear this request occasionally, it's not something we're inclined to do. Sharpening choils are something that people either love or hate. It's a lot easier to add one than it is to remove it. :) We've gone into deep discussions about this on our forum. We'd welcome your participation.
@@SpydercoKnivesOfficial That explanation actually makes a lot of sense, it's easier for the buyer to add one if wanted or needed than to grind them in at the factory and alienate potential buyers who would rather not have them.
I cut a lot of boxes wish they made the shaman in s110v or zdp-189 and if they do hopefully not just a sprint run
great vid from the source. would love to be able to get my hands on one of these. nowhere to be found.
Forgot a washer? Nothing wrong with being human! thanks for the video Eric.
Love Spyderco knives! The only problem I have had is every spyderco knife (Paramilitary 2 in S30v, Para3 in both S35vn and 52100, Delica4 wave, and a Dragonfly2) I have bought have not been sharpened all the way to the end of the blade with a slight s curve, forcing me to cut a sharpening choil myself on all of them so I can sharpen it correctly.
I hear people say this about Spyderco knives... But I've never had an issue sharpening from heel to tip without modification. What equipment do you use to sharpen?
That was funny when he said that they don't need to put a choil in and sharpen all the way up to the plung and they sharpen really well. 🤣
I don’t imagine I’ll get a response however it’s worth a try, a friend of mine got a 15V shaman and took it apart and the washers had stayed completely still on both sides via the burrs from the pocket clip holes. The scales weren’t de-burred around the edges of the scales either. Is this normal? Only one side of the tang of the blade from the pivot hole backward had worn in. Is this typical?
Why didnt they make the backspacer flush?
Are ya'll going to do another run of the Z-wear or equal blade material with micarta ? I missed the last one because I was on the road and my computer was down and that's the one I really want. I refuse to pay $ 400.00 to $600.00 for it on the secondary market. Thank you for all the great Spyderco Knives throughout the years.
Let's get a Shaman LW going! 👏🏻👏🏻
Now I HAVE to buy me a Shaman..
And I did, I bought the Carbon Fiber version. WOW
Love videos do more please. The shaman is great but....the tip of the forward choil pushes my finger out of the compression lock. This reduces the fidget factor, but also reduces the ease of break in. If I did not have a dlc blade I’d probably grind off an eighth inch or two mm from the most forward part of the choil, just saying. Any suggestions for tuning with attention to this?
THX again, Steve
Hi Eric, thanks for the vid. In Europe there is less of an after market for clips and scales. Any chance you guys will ever produce knives with deep pocket clips from factory? It’s usually the only thing I want to change to my Spyderco’s, but it’s a hastle if you’re living in The Netherlands like me.
Thanks for the in depth walkthru Eric! Forget a washer? Everybody freaks out with 1mil people watchin'!
Here's a challenge, Eric. Make an ambidextrous compression lock. What's the point of have four way clip options if the lock is designed for righties only?
Moto Rick : I’d suggest do away with the compression lock all together and give the Shaman the ball type lock like the Manix 2 has. It’d be far superior in my opinion.
Is Sal still with us , I meet him when I came
to Colorado. He was a very wonderful guy he treated me like royalty .l still have a prototype knife he gave me for my troubles today I still only buy Spyderco, it's been twenty years since I met him 😊
Hi, Doug! Yes, he absolutely is! Cool story. Thank you for sharing with us!
@SpydercoKnivesOfficial just thought I would tell you that Jami Acker is my niece, small world Doug. Her son Ryan and Kobe have been in school together for years!
I love my Shaman but my question is, where did you get that mat? I want one!
Micarta CRUWEAR! Can. Not. Wait.
Put the screw in the pivot
Can you make one of these videos for the Delica and the Manix 2 as well?
I hear him talk alot about their attention to detail and how they sharpen all the way back to the plunge. Haven't seen one yet that actually is sharpened back to the plunge grind. There's always a dead spot there that isn't sharpened.
I like my shaman 4v a lot. Someone should do a voice over parody over this video. It would be a good laugh 😂.
nice!
Can't waaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit for the Rex 45 version!
Great review! Thanks for doing it . Also i wondered where the production numbers where . Love the rodeo clowns comment.
Thanks for the video ! When do you think we are gonna be getting that micarta cruwear shaman would it be on the next reveal or sooner ?
Is that a HAP40/Pakkawood Shaman?
👀 Holy mother of... that is a lot of loctite on the pivot screws and the pivot pin.
t 2:05 The guard I hear hits you in the finger when you close it !
Great video and by many accounts a great knife. What is unfortunate for me, Spyderco has made another great pocket knife design in Colorado, that is just barely not legal to carry in Colorado. A 3.6" blade made in a 3.5" legal carry state is ironic. but I respect its design. How about a Colorado Legal limited run?
i see your point, but do people actually get stopped for a knife that is one tenth of an inch too long? guess i'm too old to be stopped--i don't get asked for an id at a liquor store either.
@@gregwalker4236 I am old too, but I am not willing to be cited over .1" .
Hi. Do you sell the pivot and the pivot screws? I cross-threaded the ones of my first Shaman. I want to repair it so that I'll have two Shamans.
Great knives . Well thoughtout clearly....BU, you must know there are a lot of knife guys who prefer blades with sharpening choils. Why not offer a "w/ sharpening choil" versions of the same knife?? Give us the choice while sticking to your "design beliefs/philosopy"?? I mean as the blades are being machined it would be so easy to add a sharpening choil...would sell that many more knives :)) An d make a lot of people happy. those that are on the fence about buying their first Spyderco--because there is no sharpening chiol on most of your knives...
Other wants--mor colour choise in the scales for the popular knives e.g. PM2, Shama e.g. Olice green, blue....scale material...Micarta, Titanium, Aluminum.... Sheepsfoot blade....etc.
Sal and Eric designed 2 of my favorite carry’s for the last 10 years (PM2 and Shaman). With that said I can’t let my biggest critique of these 2 knives go unmentioned, especially since he brought it up in this video……….. Really man?!?!?! No sharpening choil because rodeo clowns? WTH. I have also never seen a spyderco with a sharpened edge all the way to the grind line. Please please please start adding sharpening choils to these beauties.
Thank you for sharing Eric,
Straight from the horses mouth so to speak
Black on black m4, WHEN?)
The master shows us how...
