But has microtech improved the heat treatment of the m390.

I gotta have one..

Nice review. Very detailed! Question: when the blade is extended, does the blade have a SOLID feel or is there some wiggle?

Nice video.what is price of this knife how one can get?

Also, got a drop point instead of DE, i have several other Fairburn Sykes style knives if i need to poke something particularly well.

My engraving is crispy as fuck, but i also have a knife that was made 05.2024 so maybe the more current releases arent having that issue

Nice review! Now when will it come out in different colors? I want a purple one

Good fidget knife while playing red dead redemption

There is a Spyderco Nirvana listed on Ebay for 1,400 $. Who buys all of the Spyderco sprint runs and limited edition knives. Spyderco has brought out the Para 3 in a bunch of different steels. They went from S30 V to S45VN, Maxamet, Cruwear, S15V, S110V to Elmax and other steels. They also have dealer exclusives. Why would they do that if not for collectors?

The s30v g10 shaman was also my first spyderco when I decided to try one other than benchmade. The shaman hasn’t left my pocket since I got it. I prefer it to the superfreek although it’s a different type of knife but similar. The handle ergos and blade shape are just perfect with this knife. I also added a CME button for the lock which makes the knife a million times easier to actuate with BOTH hands too

Really like the file work on the spine of the blade, it’s a nice touch. Did you do it?

The pocket clip looks to be a tremendous improvement over the previous design.. I really don’t mind much about how much force it takes to open and close on the previous ones, but the pocket clip makes it hard to hold firmly without creating a hot spot on my palm and causing pain when grasping the knife and holding it tight so it doesn’t slip or move.. I really wish Microtech would offer a different pocket clip that I could buy to replace it.. It makes me not want to carry or use it much because the pocket clip interferes that much and creates such an issue.. I would be happy if they even made a pocket clip like the one on the ultramax or whatever it is … Something that would be a direct fit to replace the horrible pocket clip mine came with.. I contacted Microtech to inquire about purchasing a pocket clip that would fit and not give me this problem, but sadly they do not offer any other design that is a direct replacement for it.. It’s a great knife but that pocket clip just gets in the way too much to actually use the knife.. These new designs look awesome, but I’m not going to spend another 500bucks when all I really need is a better designed pocket clip to replace this very poorly designed one it came with.. Maybe some day they will offer some better choices to support their products.. I’d even consider an aftermarket part if it was a quality part..

Does Microtech make fingernail clippers?

What did you do to the spine of the shaman?

I want the straight edge one so bad i can taste it Great video, and i gave you a sub.

Quick question, I just purchased the Redemption. It’s an amazing knife, the only issue or non-issue is that the front bolster doesn’t seem to be as shinny or reflect the light as well as the back one. Anyone else notice this?

Como hacer para pedir uno porfa

Quiero comprar ese cuchillo por favor

I haven't tried to Spydey flick with my feet yet but it was a proud moment when i can spydey with both hands.

Nice presentation 🔥💯

Best review I’ve seen on this so far very detailed! Have one coming in next week 🎉

LOL.... greatest knife youll get tired of carrying. Sucks for EDC

How do you like new disgn Bodacious?

Lots of talking and a very slow delivery. Should be a 3min vid, not 12min.

bolsters are stainless steel not aluminum just letting you know but very cool video

...My hands are in fact, upside down... I'm glad that Spyderco thought of people like me 😬

I never noticed the blade differences with the auto and manual- interesting, thanks

This is great EDC for someone who doesn't require heavy duty. When you want to go light you really want something thing and something that doesn't stick out of your pocket. Personally, I think it is great concept and opens new market for ZT.

I hear ya - nice knife but designed with a more intentional opening and closing.

I'm a fan of Gayle Bradley designs. The only one of his Spyderco designs I lack in my collection is the GB1. I have all the rest of his Spyderco collabs. He knew how to make a knife that cuts well, and feels good in the hand.

Did you ever try the extended compression lock piece that sticks on ?

Well it's the ugliest 😅

The appearance of the knife is nice, but why didn't you shake the barrel of the knife while shooting the review video? Is there any gap when opening and closing? Does the saw part really work etc. you have never tested it?

Hey man, I just ordered this knife couple of days ago I was going to get the elite version, but I thought this one looked way better, but then I found out it was made in China. Does that mean it’s not made as good as the one that’s made here in America?

Nice video. Don’t quote me but I don’t think the Gen 3s are laser etched…

I will decide on subing after this vid. My subs aren't free.

Nice Collector! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

Nirvana is the best Spyderco knife no contest!!!!

I have had my eyes on the ram-lok for a while now, and tried the auto for the first time at a show yesterday, there were no ram-loks available. I have say, the ergos on the auto really delighted me, I was surprised, to the point I am now paranoid I will be unhappy with the larger cutaway for your finger behind the blade when choking up. The auto felt just perfect. Also felt like a beast, in a good way. Your review nailed those points for me and validated my initial thoughts, I completely agree with you man, thank you. I get there are design improvements on the ram-lok, i.e. gimping (sp?) on the top spine near the back of the blade, weight, etc. but there are also cons to the manual, ergos, ram-lok mechanism wearing away and failing throughout time, the newest ram-lok clip screws have been moved underneath the clip but not recessed so your pocket will grap the screws which is annoying, etc. The way the knife feels matters most to me, also autos are legal where I live so that is not a concern. One other question I was curious about is how the cutting edges compare between the two. It might be safe to assume the new ram-lok is a bit slicier due to the more narrow blade, but I have no idea. Curious your thoughts based on your experience. Cheers and thanks for the review man! Congrats on those awesome knives!

I have searched every where and can't find any body who has these in stock. Do you know where I can purchase one? Thanks...

I mean the 450 is quite a dainty little thing and it is one of their most popular models. I for one enjoy this size.

Absolutely love the Shaman. I sold my original and got the BladeHQ Exclusive Spyderco Shaman in M4 and Green Micarta.

Opening a knife by pulling the crossbar lock and whipping the blade out is for people who brush their teeth with warm water.

👍👍

I personally think ZT decided to make something that can cut really well. That’s why they went with thinner blade stock like many brands are doing. Which is exactly what you want a knife to do.

Very stylish knife,but dagger style blades should be double edged.

Nice video.I currently own a PM 2 it's been my carry for a lot of years but I would like to try a Shaman. I had a Manix 2 for about 3 hours. It didn't feel good to me in hand compared to the PM2.

All I want to see in the combat troodon is a thicker/wider blade. That’s all

I like the clip…idk not a fan of the scales tho

Man, I knew WE was trying to move up in the world but this is insanity! Those materials are crazy. I am a bit inclined to think it looks a bit busy but it's not meant to be understated, that's for sure.
