Spyderco Shaman
The Shaman is a hard-use folder about 20% larger than the Native. Spyderco built it because owners asked for a bigger, stouter knife.
It has a 3.58" CPM S30V blade, a contoured G-10 handle and the Compression Lock, and it is made in Golden, Colorado. It is also the basis for the Bodacious.
