Spyderco Shaman Folder Blk Lightweight FRN Handle Blk Serrated CTS-BD1N Blade SPC229SBBK

Purpose-built for hard use and trusted by serious knife users everywhere, the Spyderco Shaman Folder Black Lightweight FRN Handle Black Serrated CTS-BD1N Blade takes the legendary Shaman platform and pushes it further into tactical and heavy-duty territory. Designed to deliver uncompromising cutting performance in a lighter package, this all-black configuration combines aggressive cutting power, dependable lock strength, and a stealth-driven finish that’s ready for work in any environment.

Its 3.58" serrated CTS-BD1N stainless steel blade is built to chew through tough materials with authority. Rope, webbing, heavy cardboard, straps, and fibrous material are no match for Spyderco’s proven serration pattern, which bites aggressively while maintaining long-lasting cutting performance. The full-flat grind keeps slicing efficient and precise, while the Diamond-Like Carbon coating gives the blade a low-visibility finish that minimizes glare and adds an extra layer of durability against wear and corrosion. Whether you're carrying it for tactical applications, emergency preparedness, or demanding daily utility, this blade is built to perform under pressure.

The Shaman Lightweight trims excess weight without sacrificing strength, bringing the knife down to a highly manageable 4.8 ounces. Its black fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle scales feature an enhanced pebble-textured surface that locks firmly into the hand for confident control in wet, cold, or gloved conditions. Nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners reinforce the structure while keeping the overall carry lighter and more comfortable throughout the day.

Spyderco’s Compression Lock mechanism provides exceptional strength and smooth one-handed operation, allowing quick deployment and secure lockup when speed and reliability matter most. The oversized thumb hole makes opening effortless from either hand, while the ergonomic handle shape naturally fills the palm for superior comfort during prolonged cutting tasks. Measuring 8.25" overall with a 4.70" closed length and a blade thickness of .145", the Shaman offers substantial cutting capability while remaining practical for everyday carry.

The broad-based four-position pocket clip allows fully customizable carry options for left or right-handed users, supporting both tip-up and tip-down orientation. Consistent with the knife’s tactical all-black design, the clip, liners, and hardware all feature matching black coatings that complete its rugged, no-nonsense appearance.

Made in the USA, the Spyderco Shaman Lightweight Serrated delivers powerful cutting performance, reduced carry weight, and proven durability in one of the toughest folding knife platforms Spyderco’s ever produced.
