The Shaman seems to be very popular and there are many sprints, the next being Z wear, which is very similar to 3V.
One thing I wish they would change on the Shaman is the huge steel backspacer, you could probably save an ounce by going to standoffs.
The backspacer is for balancing the knife correct?

sharp_edge Why does a folding pocket knife need to be balanced?
I didn’t know that military parts fit, very interesting. I get why it’s there (balance) I’ve just always felt it was something that makes the knife unnecessarily heavy.It's not that huge, but it can be removed easily enough and replaced with stand-offs. After-market stand-offs for the Military will fit it.
I think all the Golden-made models with stand-offs use the same ones - i.e. the Millie, PM2, PM3, Yojimbo.I didn’t know that military parts fit, very interesting. I get why it’s there (balance) I’ve just always felt it was something that makes the knife unnecessarily heavy.
I wonder if all the models are at the 67HRc level? That’s what BBB tester the Para 3 as; with the SPY27 Para 3 testing out at 62 (high end of its range) I am torn between which Manix LW to get.
So are all lw rex-45 Manix 2 gone or are some dealers still waiting for it from Spyderco?
