Spyderco Shaman Lightweight Black DLC CTS-BD1N Leaf-Shaped Drop Point Plain Edge Folding Knife (3.58") C229PBBK

The Spyderco Shaman Lightweight goes fully blacked out here, its CTS-BD1N blade wearing a low-glare black DLC coating over a big, capable full-flat grind that still rides light in the pocket.

• CTS-BD1N Blacked-Out Blade - The leaf-shaped drop point runs a full-flat grind that stays thin behind the edge for clean slicing. CTS-BD1N is a mid-grade nitrogen-enhanced stainless that shrugs off rust and touches up fast on stones, with a black DLC coating that cuts glare.
• Rock-Solid Compression Lock - The Compression Lock nests between the liners for a lockup with zero blade play and a safe one-handed close that keeps fingers clear of the edge path. It anchors the Shaman for the heavy cutting the platform was built to take.
• Thumb-Hole Deployment - The Trademark Round Hole opens the blade with either thumb, and on this larger platform it reads as a deliberate thumb opener more than a flick. Action smooths out with a little break-in, and once worked in it will flick open too.
• Grippy, Hand-Filling FRN Handle - Pebbled black FRN scales fill the palm and lock into a secure grip, riding over nested skeletonized stainless liners for strength without the bulk. A four-position pocket clip carries it tip-up or tip-down on either side.

The Spyderco Shaman

The Spyderco Shaman grew out of the Native line as a larger, harder-working answer for users who wanted more blade and more handle to grab. It carries a broad leaf-shaped blade and a hand-filling grip built around the Compression Lock, a combination that made it one of the most trusted heavy-duty folders in the Spyderco catalog. The lightweight version keeps that same stout footprint while swapping in molded FRN scales to trim weight for daily pocket duty. It is a big knife that still disappears into a pocket, ready when a cutting job outgrows a smaller EDC.
