What's Spyderco's Consensus Grail Knife?
Every forum I read, the desire to obtain Shaman Rex Sprint seems apparent to me that it's the Grail Knife. Thoughts/Counters?

Re: What's Spyderco's Consensus Grail Knife?
Agree. It wasn't even really a "grail" for me but apparently it was for a lot of people. I really like it now that I have one. I have that one and the 4V, plus a bunch of different knives with REX 45. So I didn't even consider getting the REX 45 Shaman
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

I don't really know yet my Shaman Rex 45 is already shipped and I will get it in a few days and it's all Sharp Guy's fault :D
I was hoping for a Carbon Fiber Shaman...but I was late to the game just started down this road after Sharp Guy pushed me out in the street. Thanks SG for the push. :D :D :D

SharpDressedKnives.com has various kinds of carbon fiber scales available, or on back order, for the Shaman.Signalman1 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 8:32 amI don't really know yet my Shaman Rex 45 is already shipped and I will get it in a few days and it's all Sharp Guy's fault :D

The forum’s consensus?
Don’t ask me. I can’t even say which among my accumulated Spydies is my favorite...

If you looked again six months from now at the same sources you're getting that Rex sprint hype from there will be a different model people are lusting over. Knife AFI's are a fickle bunch.

Re: What's Spyderco's Consensus Grail Knife?
Based on the high drama and revolutionary passions unleashed by the Cruwear Micarta Shaman, I’d have to agree with that assessment, but of course one will never find true consensus on something grounded in subjective preference. Perhaps we can at least say that Spyderco is doing something right!
My collection so far: 52100 Military (2); 52100 PM2 (2); 52100 Para3; Stretch2 V-Toku; KnifeWorks M4 PM2; BentoBox M390 PM2; BentoBox S90V Military; Police4 K390; S110V PM2; SS Delica AUS-6; Wayne Goddard Sprint VG-10
Wish list: Hundred Pacer; Sliverax; Mantra; 52100 PM2 SE; Kapara

Re: What's Spyderco's Consensus Grail Knife?
I missed the CF S90V Shaman, which I was far more interested in than CruCarta Shaman. I also want a Slysz Bowie. There is no consensus.

I don't think I have a grail knife. Or maybe I actually have like 20 of them.

Re: What's Spyderco's Consensus Grail Knife?
Most people:
Whats a Spyderco?
People who at least know the brand:
Wait arent they all made in Japan?
People who like the brand but get all their info from youtube:
Slysz Bowie
People like us with a problem:
Whatever is not already in the collection.

I’d say the Slysz Bowie, or Spyderfly...maybe the Janisong.
The Crucarta Shaman definitely got its spotlight, however. I’ve had them all, and still have my Cruwear Shaman.
