The Spyderco Shaman Lightweight Serrated takes power and practicality to the next level with its high-performance cutting edge and dependable, American-made craftsmanship. Designed for real-world utility, this folder delivers the proven strength of the original Shaman platform with the added slicing efficiency of a fully serrated edge—all wrapped in a lightweight package built for everyday carry.
The 3.58-inch leaf-shaped blade is made from CTS BD1N steel, a nitrogen-enriched stainless alloy that’s built to resist corrosion while holding a sharp, aggressive edge through repeated use. With Spyderco’s signature serrations, this blade cuts through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, and tough plastics with ease. Whether you're in the workshop, on the water, or in the field, this serrated edge bites deep and keeps going strong. The satin finish enhances the blade’s clean look while helping to reduce glare and minor wear from daily use.
The classic round thumb hole makes one-handed opening smooth and reliable, and the blade locks firmly into place with Spyderco’s highly regarded Compression Lock. Known for its strength, safety, and ease of use, the Compression Lock gives you confident lock-up under pressure and a simple, intuitive way to close the blade with one hand.
Built for durability and comfort, the handle is constructed from black FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), a lightweight and tough material that offers excellent grip and impact resistance. The bi-directional texture pattern ensures your hold stays secure, even in wet or slippery conditions. Ergonomic contours make the handle feel solid in the hand, allowing you to work longer with less fatigue.
Despite its robust feel, the Shaman Lightweight lives up to its name with a carry weight of just 4.8 ounces. It rides comfortably in the pocket and remains highly capable when the job demands more than a compact cutter. With a closed length of 4.7 inches and an overall open length of 8.25 inches, it offers a generous working surface without feeling bulky in your everyday setup.
A four-position pocket clip provides the flexibility to carry however you like—tip-up or tip-down, left or right—while a lanyard hole adds yet another option for accessibility and retention. Every detail of the design reflects Spyderco’s dedication to practical function, tactical reliability, and streamlined carry.
Proudly made in the USA, the Spyderco Shaman Lightweight Serrated is the kind of folder you reach for when you need serious cutting power in a rugged, refined package. It’s a trusted tool that performs in demanding conditions without weighing you down or holding you back.
