At its core, this is still very much a Shaman.
It also still has a four-position reversible pocket clip, so users can carry it left- or right-handed, as well as tip-up or tip-down.
Other, smaller details also remain, like the handle’s ergonomics, jimping on the bolster at the spine and finger groove, and more. Perhaps obviously, the knife also has the brand’s signature Round Hole for manual deployment.
Going through changes
The biggest changes in this edition of the Shaman can be found in its materials. Both the blade and handle have seen swaps.
The blade is now made from CTS BD1N, instead of the brand’s proprietary CPM SPY27. While this technically means the blade is slightly less high-end, it’s not a difference most EDC fans will notice in practice.
