The Spyderco Shaman Lightweight offers the same renowned performance and ergonomics as the original Shaman, but in a lighter, more convenient package.
Designed for users who require strength, reliability, and cutting performance without excess weight, this model features a black-coated CTS BD1N stainless steel blade and durable FRN (fibreglass-reinforced nylon) handle scales. The full-flat-ground blade provides excellent slicing ability and versatility, while the black, non-reflective finish gives a discreet appearance and extra protection against wear. Made from CTS BD1N steel, the blade achieves a balanced combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening—ideal for everyday carry and outdoor use in the UK.
The lightweight FRN handle incorporates Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texturing™ for a secure grip in all conditions. Despite its reduced weight, the Shaman Lightweight retains the ergonomic, hand-filling design that has made the model popular among knife enthusiasts. A high-strength Compression Lock® ensures safe, dependable lock-up and allows for easy one-handed operation.
Combined with Spyderco’s signature Round Hole™, the Shaman can be deployed quickly and carried comfortably, thanks to its reversible deep-pocket wire clip.
