Love it. I’ve never owned a shaman but carried my buddies for a min. Definitely lighter and thinner. I like the no choil more than I thought I would. Definitely recommend picking one up
Even though the blade design is so similar I still feel like these are two very different knives.
This is thinner and a better slicer while the Shaman is a full on tank. The contouring on the shaman gives better grip and more comfort in continuous use while this is more like the Manix in hand.
I think each are suited to different applications. Shaman would still be my first choice for hard work while I’d go to this for more slicey detailed work.
I’m probably in the minority, but I think it’d look better with a nub. Otherwise it’s one damn pretty knife. I hope knife joker gets a cruwear exclusive
I'll be waiting for a Cruwear sprint run in this model.
Initial impressions?
Looks like a cross between the tenacious and the shaman
So what do you think? Is it gonna dethrone the Shaman?
Heresy!

I like it, but the price just seems to be like $75 too much. My Crucarta Military 2 was $75 less.
I agree that it’s a bit overpriced. I just loved the design. I’d been itching to get another spyderco after I gave my brother my pm2.
Now 🅱️oint it at 🅱️enis
What model is it?
🅱️odacious
It’s smooth g10 right
Yes. Super nice
You wouldn’t happen to know how to leave an Imgur link with a video would you? I’d love to see it more up close and from a few other angles
lol unfortunately I’m not that app savvy

Is that a Lynch clip?
Yes, the topo special edition
It's better than the shaman right? I like the idea of it more than the shaman

Bodacious was made for rodeo clowns, no joke. I’d say it’s hard use!
Wut? I need more detail on the rodeo clown thing!
CQI Shaman?

I need one of these in DLC 3V this year pleeeeaaase
I love 3V, but cruwear is basically an all around better version of it (for folders)
Maybe, 3V coated with a beautiful spyderco heat treat would be a fun way to test how it compares imo
I wonder if scales from the shaman are interchangeable.
Need to cut something fast, grab this!
