Hard-Use Tactical Ergonomics, Ultralight Nitrogen-Enriched Performance

The Spyderco Shaman has long been revered as one of the most capable heavy-duty folding knives on the market. Building on that hard-earned reputation, the Shaman Lightweight delivers the same Reliable High Performance in a package that is nine percent leaner and offers an enhanced grip texture. Optimized for tactical environments where light discipline is a concern, this all-black configuration features a full-flat-ground blade crafted from Carpenter Technology's CTS-BD1N nitrogen-enriched stainless steel. Cloaked in a stealthy Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that eliminates its reflective signature, the high-performance blade is housed in a handle featuring nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners, Spyderco’s high-strength Compression Lock mechanism, and pebble-textured injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales. To keep the knife poised for immediate access and swift one-handed deployment, it includes a broad-based four-position pocket clip supporting left- or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry, complete with low-profile black hardware throughout.
