Product Description
The Shaman C229GPCBL pairs Spyderco's heavy-duty Shaman with a 3.58" CPM SPY27 blade and contoured cobalt blue G-10. It keeps the sturdy build, Compression Lock, and hand-filling ergonomics that made the Shaman one of Spyderco's most capable folders.
CPM SPY27 is a powder metallurgy stainless steel available only on Spyderco knives. Spyderco says it offers an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, with cobalt as its signature element. For a working knife, that means an edge that holds up through a long day of cutting, handles sweat and humidity well, and touches up without much fuss. The 0.145" blade is full-flat ground with a satin finish for clean slicing, and the drop point keeps a strong tip for piercing.
- Blade: 3.58" CPM SPY27 drop point with a 3.12" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 0.145" thick.
- Handle: Contoured cobalt blue G-10 scales over nested stainless steel liners in an open-backed build; 4.67" closed, 5.2 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Spyderco Round Hole for one-handed opening; the Compression Lock releases from the spine side, so your fingers stay clear of the closing blade.
- Carry: Four-position pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry on the right or left side; 8.25" overall.
Ideal for: users who want a full-size, heavy-duty folder for hard daily cutting; people with larger hands who want a hand-filling grip; and Spyderco collectors building a CPM SPY27 lineup.
The Spyderco Shaman in CPM SPY27 with cobalt blue G-10 (C229GPCBL) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Shaman: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Shaman (C229GPCBL).
What lock does the Spyderco Shaman C229GPCBL use?＋
The Shaman uses Spyderco's Compression Lock, built into the nested stainless steel liners. When the knife is open, a leaf spring in the liner wedges between the blade tang and the stop pin. You release it from the spine side of the handle with one hand, which keeps your fingers out of the blade's path as it closes.
What makes the Shaman a heavy-duty folder?＋
Spyderco built the Shaman for heavy-duty cutting, with sturdy construction, a high-strength Compression Lock, and contoured G-10 scales that fill the hand for a secure grip during hard use. The open-backed handle with nested stainless steel liners keeps it strong while making it easy to clean out debris.
What is CPM SPY27 steel?＋
CPM SPY27 is a powder metallurgy stainless steel available only on Spyderco knives, with cobalt as its signature element.

What is the Shaman blade good for?＋
