Let’s take a moment to honor Gabe Harmon’s persistence. On behalf of Metal Complex, we thank you.

[@MrBabyStokes]

We love you GABE!!!! You front flipping son of a bitch!!!

Here is to the real star of the show. A true every man's knife, man! THE ONE the ONLY Spyderco Shamon, everyone.

[@desertsmeagol7073]

LMAO We need more videos like these 🤣🤣🤣

[@givematthiswalrus4825]

Yesssss

[@austinkuipers6087]

Have you heard of the Spodaco Shamo? It's got D2 tool steel printed on the blade, 2cr stainless liner lock bead blasted with silicone desiccant and bearings make out of recycled pencil graphite, 47 cents from alibaba or 59 cents with the optional transdermal lead based coating. It's even made with wage-free labor for a guilt-free purchase experience, too! Made in GoldenColorado province!

[@spurraticas]

For fuck sake... Take my God damn money won't ya. You hade me transdermal lead based paint then you cleverly stole my heart with the ever so popular WAGE FREE LABOR!!!

[@justinf5963]

County not province my out of country homie.

[@maxrez74]

you had me at 2cr

[@plenipote]

@@justinf5963 part of the joke is saying province, because some company in China would probably name a province (what regions are called in China) GoldenColorado in order to fool patriotic Americans into buying the Spodaco Shamo. Not that we need any tricking, I mean, with transdermal lead based coating, the thing sells itself!

[@desertsmeagol7073]

Is no one talking about the *Spydeco Shamon* 💀

Bro you are funny that's why I stay cause most the knives you show are out of my price range 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@brandonseals6732]

My thumb is sore from fidget-front-flipping my shaman.... thanks MC and the persistent guy who kept on keeping on....

[@zeromalice9981]

YEA... It's 2021 the Shaman can be a front flipper if it wants to

[@zeromalice9981]

On a more serious note I guess I need to try when I get home

[@desertsmeagol7073]

But can my nonexistent microtech troodon identify as a slip joint and be legal in CA?? 😔

[@zeromalice9981]

@@desertsmeagol7073 Depends if your troodon is actually an UT-70 that's just identifying as a troodon

[@desertsmeagol7073]

@@zeromalice9981 that hurts lol

[@willblake72]

I finally got around to getting one of these on order and now I feel like there's a lot of pressure on me because man I'm not good at front flipping and what if it comes and it isn't a mind blowing situation like it was for you but rather just another dud with my small hands and dry skin well at least it's G-10 not my favorite but hopefully it's grippy and I'll have a chance at making the front flip work for the front flippers out there and if it does front flip like a front flipper should flip flipping party time my dude amazing thank you and have a great weekend. Cheers.

[@austinkuipers6087]

.Shamans can be front flippers, sentences can be paragraphs and periods can go at the beginning because it's 2021 baby! whoo!

[@tippmann2455]

I will now be front flipping my shaman for the next week until the skin on my thumb wears off

[@dr.oetqer]

You'll get used to it soon enough. I know I did loose some DNA slivers to the Shaman 🤣💪

[@j.w.greenbaum]

If this puts a smile on someone's face, it'll be worth it: so I watched the vid, watched how you held it, and I have really long, kinda thin fingers. TWENTY-FOUR ATTEMPTS into front-flipping my black DLC Shaman (was the only one available) and BAM! It flipped open! So yeah, I spent about an hour trying to do it and getting the positioning right, had twenty-three failed attempts, but I front-flipped a Spyderco Shaman.

[@Flyingwalrus42]

I don’t know this Gabe fella, but he seems like a cool dude.

[@TheAdequateMedia]

keep the face vids coming. humanizes the shit outta you. that's why advanced knife bro is popular I suspect. Also I've seen your special edition (modded?) shaman and i was definitely left with the impression that the knurling is ideally placed for front flippage. I really wanna grab one to review on tiktok. What's the first front flipping framelock ? i imagined the brs evolve fragment would be one.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

I think AKB is popular because of the effort he puts into writing his video scripts, but it wouldn’t be the same if he weren’t on camera

[@tristanmurphy4731]

Aight, this one's good. Hopefully it gets traction and takes off; this has potential

[@WashJosh]

🤯 I thought about it but didn’t think it could. Now I’m hyped for my shaman to arrive.

[@tippmann2455]

BS i say then proceed to pick my shaman up and front flip on the first try 😵 lol

[@desertsmeagol7073]

Ok now I need one

[@OneMinuteKnifeReview]

Wow. Tried to say that you can and I have demonstrated in a production here on the tube. And it held my comment lol. Great video MC.

[@dr.oetqer]

Wow, did you finally get it?! 😉 First time I handled mine I discovered in a few minutes it can be front flipped, just a bit rough to the skin. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Striker-pd3do]

I've got the Z-wear sprint run model heading to me right now! I'm looking forward to trying it

[@yankee2yankee216]

You know I never knew that you could front flip a Shaman, but maybe that was because I never had one, and never noticed? Then I got one, and noticed right away! Furthermore, when I searched for a Shaman video, to see if other people front flip Shamans, I landed directly on this video… I guess I’m NOT the only person who front flips their Shaman!

[@joshalmightyblades]

They say that Gabe Harmon is less than a God, but more than a man. The LEGEND BEGINS!!!

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

Whoooaaahhhhh! I got so excited i front flipped my Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. Oh boy.......

[@prescribedcarry]

Just gotta comment purely for supporting the channel. Loved this response haha 😂

[@brandonseals6732]

Leveled up MC..

[@Redroad999]

People shouldn't say you can't flip or flip this particular knife or that, because some of us can do them on knives most people can't. Like reverse pinky flick on a WE Mini Buster or reverse index finger flick on a Civivi Elementum. And these are easy ones.

[@sterlingstoots3215]

There Goes My Skin until I master the Shaman Front flick

[@joshalmightyblades]

This was Hilarious, and the comments were Amazing! Thanks for laughs gentlemen.

[@brandonseals6732]

I have limited watched this video like 10 times... keeps getting better...

[@brandonseals6732]

Legitimately

[@dbass1955]

LMAO! Great video MC! I kept seeing those comments, and I too had my mind blown...

[@genuinelyconcerned3504]

You're a wizard Harry 🧙‍♂️

[@munkyenima]

This video blew my mind. I saw the man's mug, and learned that I can front flip the Shaman.

[@Barryhatchet]

Front flipping my Rex 45 shaman rips skin off. Too sharp edges are a thumb grater.

[@alex_thecarguy]

Now this is quality content

[@scotmetcalf2745]

Ha Haa now I need to dig mine out and try it!! Always wanted a front flipper! Have a great day

[@Khanage911]

Well done. Strange thing when youtuber read comments. Not talking about you by the way

[@kevinfitz3721]

I have done this for years I thought everyone knew

[@roel.vinckens]

Ah, that feeling that anything is possible... This must have made your day!

[@dan_taninecz_geopol]

Still your best video

[@lousassle6149]

So when will these be in stock?

[@MaddawgEDC]

Not me over here getting all excited because I front flipped my Shaman! Lol

[@WOWchong]

Was not expecting this. Straight made beer come out of my nose.

[@evanb123]

I was fully expecting to see Gabe’s comment below “8th video commenting that you can front flip the Shaman”…I guess I’ll have to tell poor Tiny Tim that he’s not getting his Christmas wish this year.

[@napalmholiday9708]

I love you, Gabe.

[@whalehands]

Did your wife run in screaming checking to see if you were okay after that realization?

[@brianhalbritter6306]

Best video I’ve seen all day

[@1978smu]

Cool video! Like your knife case and foam insert in video, how can I purchase?

[@BluetoothBlades]

HILARIOUS!!!... but I bet you can't really😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JustAnotherDayToday]

Ha ha to the YT poster who said the word “can’t” to MC.

[@strikeIII]

Hahaha, I just found this out recently too!

[@facetiousmonkey5322]

Starlord's mindblown

[@path1265]

Immediately went to try this with my shaman. But I think it needs to be broken in for it to work had a lot of trouble doing it

[@ActionBastard666]

I love this

[@TheBadTrojan1]

Ive never handled one but thought this might be possible!!

[@edcozz3745]

The expression says it all lmao 🤣 😂 😆 🤘

[@superrad1659]

HAHAHA!!! Who'd have thought?! That guy, apparently. lol.

[@tallica4life81]

Front flipping the shaman is the best front flipper of all front flippers and it’s not even a desired method by the makers.

[@CNYKnifeNerd]

That's the thing about Spyderco, they can accidentally make a better knife than companies that have been doing it for years.

[@jun-fanlee6918]

The moment when you unlock daedric armour 😂

[@captainskippy6622]

Well I had mine in my pocket all day but I’m home now. Going to get it to give it a try.

[@mcm4point2o]

flippin' incredible

[@SaigonKick2018]

Never even thought to try it. It has a Spydie Hole, I use it. After a rewatch of where you flip it at and 5 attempts, I got it.😂

Well dammit, now I need a Shaman. Those f'ers are $$$!!!

[@jayr526]

My thoughts exactly.

[@Jeremiah915A]

Well I know what I'm trying when I get home from work today.

[@stickyedge7113]

The Shaman will probably be sold out everywhere now

[@metal_complex]

It's been sold out for a while

[@paulbosley6448]

Yeah I regret letting mine go, there are no knife shops where I live, closest place that carries spider co is over an hour away. On a brighter note, the last time I went there to check he had just gotten in a whole box of microtecs and I found the Dirac. My new favorite toy:)

[@edwinmendoza2032]

The same feeling I got when I realized you could down flick certain knives directly into a stabby stabby position (Civivi Imperium)! Lol. Why doesn’t any knife guy demonstrate, or at least mention a down flick already?! Would luv to see if that badass Demko of yours can be down flicked. Why would you NOT show that? You’re better than that MC. This channel is better than that. Lmao
