Cutleryshoppe Exclusive Shaman, Stonewash CTS-XHP, Orange G10

[Beardedjeeper]

I was surprised these lasted so long and picked one up. I've been wanting an XHP spyderco for a while now and a non-S30V shaman so it worked out great.

That said I wanna know how bright the orange on these are. I have the CutleryShoppe delica wharnie and I love how bright and vibrant the orange frn is. Does anyone have a pic of that knife and the black/orange CS shaman comparing the two oranges?

I don't have my Shaman yet but I do have the CS Delica and a CS Para 3, I assume it's the same shade G10 as the Shaman. I can snap a pic tomorrow of my Delica and Para 3 together.

That'd be great thank you

I squinted really hard, counted and then multiplied the boxes their IG teaser pics and according to my unscientific estimation there are 1700 DLC and 1700 Stonewashed. Maybe.
That's 3400, bright as the sun, Shamans! Maybe. :cool:
That's like 2.5 Shamans sold per hour for two months straight! Maybe. :eek:
Good drop(s) Cutlery Shoppe and Spyderco! :)

So what you're really telling me is to keep saving and maybe one will be there for me when I have the money!

I like the way you think!

I mean... It probably won't be super orange, but it would be crazy if there wasn't another Shaman sprint or exclusive around the corner. So you're probably good. Maybe.

Managed to nab one! I thought it would be a quicker sell out like the DLC version, but I'm really happy that everyone got a chance to buy. :)

Tracking says mine should arrive Tuesday!

[Tabo]

Just showed up today! Super fast free shipping! Put a sharping choil on it (after taking the picture) and it went right into the pocket. Excellent job Spyderco and Cutlery Shoppe!

[jdw]

Mine arrived today as well and I am really glad that I got one. My initial reaction is that it is a really well made and solid knife. I already know that I love Spyderco’s handling of XHP and the bright orange with the stonewashed hardware and finish just looks like a field knife. Great job Spyderco and CS!

[Mrj]

Got mine today as well. Been carrying a manix lightweight and when I flicked this beast open it felt heavy. Definitely a solid tough knife.

Sorry it's a day late, haha. I don't have my CS Shaman yet, it's supposed to be arriving tomorrow. I can snap some more comparison pics when it shows up.

I took a couple quick ones and threw in my CS Native 5 for comparison as well. They're all different shades of orange, anxious to see the Shaman tomorrow next to them.

First pic is in the shade, second with some evening sun on them. God I love CS exclusives!!

Just grabbed mine from the HUB.

I handled a DLC Shaman quite some time ago and holding it in my hand now it’s beefier than I remember.

My example seems flawless so far. The action is smooth but slightly stiff; I’m sure it will break in quickly.

I really like the stonewash finish! Orange isn’t really my color but it’s done well and it’s something different.

[prndltech]

mine should be here Thursday... can't wait. although is is a friend of mine's turn to decide what gets carried next week and he doesn't have a shaman!!

[DFD04]

Got mine yesterday…they did an excellent job on this release. Perfect centering, stonewashed finish is awesome along with the matching clip and spacer. Great edge from Golden, too. I love the G10 color, quite vibrant.

Love these Shaman exclusives. Thanks to Cutlery Shoppe and Spyderco do doing this.

[OppositeJay]

I’ve had this in the pocket pretty much every day since it arrived. I really must take my hat off for Spyderco and Cutlery Shoppe as this exclusive is a huge success! The quality of finishing on both of my copies is outstanding. The orange G10 is beautiful, I like it way more than I anticipated. The combo of a highly visible handle and excellent EDC steel makes this one of the best users we’ve seen in the Shaman platform.

[VooDooChild]

Got mine in. Wow is it nice.

I think spyderco threw a few extra stones in the wash because it is beautiful. Best looking stonewashed blade I have seen from them.

Love Cutlery Shoppes bright safety orange as well. You are not losing this thing if you set it down somewhere.

[Team Sick]

Got my Shaman today and it's Beautiful!!!

[Freediver]

Mine should be here tomorrow. I’m glad to see such positive reactions to it so far, now I can’t wait.

Picked up mine from the post office today; first Shaman. Didn't realize it would be quite so chonky. Between it, the Rex 45 Native Chief and the BHQ Rock Lobster being my last three purchases, I'm having to come up with excuses to carry bigger knives than I normally do lately...

[jayhawk]

I like it. The blade finish is great.

[TkoK83Spy]

My buddy at work just dropped this one on my desk. Pretty nice! I like that finish, though I like the Maxamet on my PM2, this one is a little more subtle on the stonewash.
