Product Description
The Spyderco Shaman Lightweight SpyderEdge Black is the Shaman platform purpose-built for cutting tasks that demand a serrated edge — rope, webbing, seatbelts, fibrous materials — wrapped in the same all-black FRN chassis and bombproof Compression Lock that defines the lightweight Shaman lineup.
The CTS BD1N blade arrives in Spyderco's proprietary SpyderEdge serration pattern — a aggressive, recurved tooth geometry that initiates cuts faster than a plain edge on fibrous and soft materials while the nitrogen-enhanced stainless steel resists corrosion through wet, outdoor, and heavy-use conditions. The full-flat grind behind the serrations keeps the geometry efficient, and the black coating finish delivers a low-reflectivity profile consistent with the all-black build. At 3.58 inches, the Shaman's blade is long enough to work through thick cordage or packaging in a single draw cut — the SpyderEdge pattern is specifically designed for that pull-cut efficiency. CTS BD1N resharpens cleanly on ceramic rods or serration sharpeners without the difficulty of higher-carbide steels, making field touch-ups practical rather than a chore.
- Blade: CTS BD1N, full-flat grind, drop point profile, black coating finish, SpyderEdge serrated — 3.58 inches optimized for fibrous materials, rope, webbing, and aggressive pull cuts
- Handle: Black FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) scales — lightweight, textured for wet-condition grip, fully ambidextrous ergonomics; all-black build matches blade finish throughout
- Deployment / Lock: Spyderco Round Hole thumb opener, Compression Lock — spine-mounted for safe one-handed closing without blade edge contact; fully ambidextrous left and right hand operation
