I have a bunch of Spydercos, mostly PM2s and Para3s, all on washers, and guess what? I FORGET they are on washers! Properly adjusted and lubricated, washers can produce flipping action that rivals the best bearing actions.

I handled a Shaman at an outdoors store a few months back and fell in love. I will own one one day! (And hopefully it comes in an equally impressive plastic sleeve!)

Thanks!! That’s a lot of shamans! 😂 I messed up the pivot assembly on mine while trying to but scales on it. I finally found a replacement pivot so I’ll be glad to be able to put it back together and carry it again. Thanks for watching!! 👊😎

The Shaman has taken over the top spot in my list of favorite knives. It dethroned my old PM2 in S110V. I was disappointed initially when I first got it. That was right after I got out of the hospital. I almost sold it but decided otherwise. I didn't want to just give up on it. I took it apart, cleaned everything and lubricated the pivot and pivot washers. Bingo! It dropped shut. The weight used to bother me but when I handle either of my PM2s now, they feel flimsy. The Shaman just feels solid.

My Shaman is my favorite, and most expensive, knife (when you include the cost of the custom micarta scales I put on it). And yes, most definitely runs on washers. My 2 cents (or nickel Canadian) are to spend all day tomorrow just flicking the heck out of it. Then Sunday apply some pivot lube and continue the heck flicking. Mine did not have any thread locker, but just a little heat to the head of a screw should soften even red loctite right up. Also, I believe that the Shaman is probably the most customizable knife in the world because of all of the aftermarket stuff available for them.

And personally, I wish all knives came in a plain box and plastic sleeve like spyderco's do - I would rather the cost of fancy pouches and boxes be spent in improved production of the knife.

That’s a fair point, I wouldn’t mind all knives coming in a plastic sleeve like this one (it really is a nice feeling sleeve 😂). Good advice, I’ll flick the heck out of it and put some lube on it. I checked the screws on it and no loctite was used, whew!

Is the Shaman in s30 v a good buy? So many different steels from spyderco, and this s30 seems like no one is buying.
@SharpenedBlade0
Жыл бұрын
I wouldn’t say it’s a good buy necessarily. When I got it it was more of a “this version is available and I’ve always wanted to try a Shaman” type of thing 😂 Plus I knew I was going to change the scales on it anyways so the G10 was a good option for that. There are definitely lots of steel options but S30v is perfectly fine for any cutting tasks I’ll need to do.
