Built for demanding use in tough environments, the Spyderco Shaman Salt combines the solid construction and dependable performance of the popular Shaman with the exceptional corrosion resistance of Spyderco’s Salt Series.
Designed for users who need a substantial, hard-working folding knife, this version pairs a premium CPM MagnaCut blade with distinctive yellow and black G-10 handle scales, delivering outstanding cutting performance, secure handling, and enhanced visibility around water.
At the heart of the Shaman Salt is a full-flat-ground, satin-finished CPM MagnaCut blade. Developed to achieve an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, MagnaCut is ideally suited to demanding outdoor and marine environments where typical blade steels may be exposed to moisture, salt, and harsh conditions.
Spyderco’s proven Compression Lock® supports the blade, housed in an open-backed handle to enable straightforward cleaning and maintenance. Nested, skeletonised stainless steel liners provide the strength and rigidity expected from the Shaman while maintaining an efficient overall construction.
Secure Grip in Wet Conditions:
The Shaman Salt’s contoured G-10 handle scales are precision-machined with Spyderco’s distinctive Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™. This aggressive, high-traction surface delivers a secure grip, even when handling the knife with wet hands.
Machining the scales also exposes the alternating yellow and black layers of G-10, producing a striking two-tone appearance while improving visibility around water and in demanding outdoor environments.
The combination of the Shaman’s ergonomic handle shape and high-traction surface provides excellent control during heavier cutting tasks, making this Salt Series model particularly well suited to users who need dependable performance whatever the conditions.
Versatile Carry Options
A broad four-position pocket clip provides excellent flexibility, allowing the Shaman Salt to be configured for left- or right-hand, tip-up or tip-down carry.
A generously sized lanyard hole provides an additional attachment point for a lanyard, safety line or fob – particularly useful when working around water or in situations where securing your knife is essential.
With its rugged Shaman construction, premium MagnaCut blade, and Salt Series corrosion resistance, the Spyderco Shaman Salt Yellow/Black G-10 is a serious folding knife for users who demand strength, control, and reliable cutting performance in tough situations.
