Product Description

The Spyderco Shaman™ Lightweight C229SBK delivers the heavy-duty performance of the original Shaman in a leaner, more aggressive format. This USA-made folder features a broad 3.58" leaf-shaped blade crafted from CTS®-BD1N stainless steel, a nitrogen-enriched American alloy celebrated for its superior hardness and corrosion resistance. This model is equipped with a fully serrated SpyderEdge™, providing relentless cutting power through rope, webbing, and other challenging materials that cause plain edges to slip.

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 while shedding nearly 10% of the total weight. Built around nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners, the Shaman Lightweight utilizes the rock-solid Compression Lock® mechanism, ensuring uncompromised security during heavy-duty utility tasks.

• Serrated SpyderEdge™ Blade: The full-length serrations significantly increase the effective cutting surface, allowing the blade to "trap" and slice through fibrous materials with ease.

• CTS-BD1N Stainless Steel: A high-carbon, nitrogen-boosted alloy that offers professional-grade edge retention and impressive resistance to the elements.

• Lightweight Black FRN Handles: Durable, impact-resistant scales with a non-slip pebbled texture, reducing overall carry weight to just 4.8 oz.

• High-Strength Compression Lock®: A patented, nested locking mechanism that allows for safe, one-handed closing and provides incredible structural integrity.

• 4-Position Hourglass Clip: Fully configurable for tip-up or tip-down carry on either the left or right side, ensuring total tactical versatility for any user.
