Z-Wear Shaman lookout thread

[primox1]

Kensei...thank you so much for your post! Because of you, a few happy and lucky members now have this beast of a knife.

[Perhaps_OCD?]

Right now it is vendors that are releasing a second batch of the knives. Don't know which ones have released their second set (if they're getting one).

Got it. Thanks!

You are most welcome! Merely returning a favor that I hv been beneficiary to with other model alert threads... Enjoy!

****, I thought these were all gone already!

Happy there's more opportunities for those who are being patient, and hopefully
the recent XHP release can ease some pain. I personally skipped out on that drop because I felt fortunate to already have the Z wear, and a TreeRex.

Totally worth it if you guys can get your hands on one. The Chief blade is very impressive and that REX 45 is really cool.

Still in stock, no one seems to care anymore :rolleyes:

Two possibilities: A) all European Spydernuts already got their Shamans, or B) those who haven't, don’t want to pay that much extra.

[Granoo Fink]

If B is correct, then the need cannot be so urgent :confused:
The "markup" is 20 - 30€ max. This is far, far away from any e8ay scalper.

I loaded the UK version of that webpage- and because I don’t think in pounds, used a currency converter. Price of the knife is $400 USD!!! Brutal.

[Granoo Fink]

:eek: don't know how much it is in UK, but with today's exchange rate 280€ are 333$.

But: if one calculates everything correctly, 280€ translates roughly to MAP if bought in the US and imported to Germany via Express shipping. The hidden costs will do the trick...

I was fortunate to get the Z-Wear, my first Shaman. I took the clip off and flicked it for a month or so to wear it in, and to put wear on the micarta. I have cut up a few things at home and this knife is really emerging as a great knife. The handle is aging well; perhaps better than me. LOL. This knife has a long-term place in my collection.

Cheers,

Taxes and customs are brutal, I think I paid 270£ for my zwear shaman, and that is cheaper than importing it myself from the states. Just imported a TRM for $189 and in the end it cost me $272. Taxes 25%, customs 9% and then the Swedish distributor wanted a fee for declaring it.

The Shaman keeps impressing though. Took it completely apart today and cleaned it. Had some trouble with the pivot keep unscrew. Cleaned it and oiled it up and put on some new loctite. I was now able to tighten it much more. Zero blade play and the it drops shut with no friction when I hold down the compression lock. Amazing knife.

Use the above link for Knivesandtools if you're in the US. Don't go through the UK site. I just paid $300 shipped.

It's unbelievable how long they've been available. Like 4 days now. I think Spyderco may have gotten the overall number to produce right... and accidentally shipped too many to Europe. LOL

[Perhaps_OCD?]

I'm so happy I got one. With my luck, more in the US drop this week for MAP right after I paid extra (It's cool tho, I wouldn't mind a 2nd). Looking forward to finally having this in my hands!

That's not so bad, considering that's what you'd pay to buy a regular Shaman + a set of Micarta scales anyway. I paid about $265 after everything from BHQ, so I don't see $300 as being that much worse.

You paid $300 for the Shaman shipped to the US from Knivesandtools? In Europe its $333 if you live in Europe, thats just wierd...

Its like when I was on the look out for a new fishing reel. It was like $200 in Sweden at the time but I had a friend buy it for me when he was visiting the US, paid less then $100.

The fun part of the story is that it was a Swedish fishing reel.
