Product Description

The Spyderco Shaman™ Lightweight C229PBK delivers the heavy-duty soul of the original Shaman in a leaner, high-performance format optimized for everyday carry. This USA-made folder features a broad 3.58" leaf-shaped blade crafted from CTS®-BD1N stainless steel. This vacuum-melted, nitrogen-enriched alloy is celebrated for its superior edge retention, high hardness, and exceptional corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for a hard-use utility folder.

The most significant update is the transition to Black FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) handle scales. These injection-molded handles feature a refined pebbled texture for a secure grip and radiused edges that melt into the hand, mimicking the premium feel of the original contoured G-10. Built around nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners, the Shaman Lightweight maintains the rock-solid Compression Lock® mechanism, ensuring uncompromised security during heavy cutting tasks. At just 4.8 ounces, it provides the "big knife" confidence the Shaman is known for in a more manageable, pocket-friendly package.
