Product Description
The Shaman C229GPDGR is a Knifeworks Exclusive: Spyderco's heavy-duty Shaman in smooth forest green G-10 with a CTS-204P blade, made as an exclusive production run for Knifeworks. It keeps the sturdy build, Compression Lock, and four-position clip that made the Shaman one of Spyderco's most capable folders.
CTS-204P is a powder metallurgy stainless steel from Carpenter Technology, built to balance wear resistance, toughness, and corrosion resistance. For a full-size working knife, that means an edge that holds up through long days of cutting and a blade that handles sweat and humid weather well. The 0.145" blade has a full-flat grind and a satin finish for clean slicing, and the leaf-shaped profile keeps a strong, useful point.
- Blade: 3.58" CTS-204P leaf-shaped blade with a 3.12" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 0.145" thick.
- Handle: Smooth forest green G-10 scales with radiused edges, over nested stainless steel liners; 4.67" closed, 5.2 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Spyderco Trademark Round Hole for one-handed opening with either hand; 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: Spyderco collectors who track exclusive colorways; Shaman fans who want it in a premium powder metallurgy steel; and users who want a full-size, heavy-duty folder with a smooth, refined handle.
The Spyderco Shaman in CTS-204P with smooth forest green G-10 (C229GPDGR), a Knifeworks Exclusive, ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Shaman Knifeworks Exclusive: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Shaman Knifeworks Exclusive (C229GPDGR).
What lock does the Spyderco Shaman C229GPDGR 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 C229GPDGR a Knifeworks Exclusive?＋
The C229GPDGR is an exclusive production run that Spyderco made for Knifeworks, pairing the Shaman with smooth forest green G-10 scales and a CTS-204P blade. Spyderco does not make custom knives, so this is a standard Spyderco production knife in a configuration produced for Knifeworks.
What is CTS-204P steel?＋
CTS-204P is a powder metallurgy stainless steel from Carpenter Technology. It is designed to balance wear resistance, toughness, and corrosion resistance, so it holds a working edge well through hard use and resists rust and staining. It sharpens best on diamond or ceramic abrasives.
What is the Shaman blade good for?＋
The C229GPDGR has a 3.58-inch leaf-shaped blade with a 3.12-inch PlainEdge and a full-flat grind, so it slices cleanly through boxes, rope, strapping, and food. The point stays strong for piercing tasks, and the full-size handle gives good control during heavy cuts.
What comes with the Shaman C229GPDGR?＋
The C229GPDGR ships as a knife with its four-position pocket clip installed. It is knife only, with no sheath included. Packaging and included items are set by Spyderco and are subject to change.
