The Shaman® is one of Spyderco’s most capable and reliable folding knives. Now it is also a proud member of our Salt® Series of cutting tools purpose designed for use in and around the water. The heart of the Shaman Salt is its broad, full-flat-ground blade, which is crafted from CPM® MagnaCut®—a remarkable particle metallurgy steel that challenges conventional steelmaking wisdom to deliver an impressive synergy of toughness, edge retention, and superior corrosion resistance. Optimized for tactical applications, the blade is cloaked in a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating to reduce its reflective signature. It is paired with a handle constructed with nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners and contoured black G-10 scales. The liners form the foundation of the knife’s high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism, while the scales are meticulously machined with Spyderco’s signature Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern. To complement the DLC-coated blade, this Shaman Salt’s liners, four-position pocket clip, and all other hardware are also made from ultra-corrosion-resistant materials and have low-profile black coatings.
