The Spyderco Shaman Salt Folding Knife brings the hard-earned reliability of the Shaman to Spyderco’s Salt Series, giving serious knife users a rugged cutting tool built to thrive in demanding environments. Designed for heavy-duty use, the Shaman has earned a reputation for strength and dependable performance, and this Salt Series version takes that proven design into wet and corrosive conditions with an exceptionally corrosion-resistant CPM MagnaCut blade and high-traction yellow-and-black G-10 handle.
The 3.58-inch PlainEdge blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut and features a full-flat grind with a satin finish. Purpose-designed for demanding cutting applications, MagnaCut delivers an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance. That makes it particularly well suited to users who spend time around water or in environments where exposure to moisture is a constant concern. The 0.145-inch blade thickness provides the substantial build expected from a heavy-duty folder while maintaining an efficient cutting profile.
The open-backed handle is built around contoured G-10 scales and nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners that provide the structural foundation for Spyderco’s high-strength Compression Lock mechanism. The yellow-and-black G-10 scales are machined with Spyderco’s signature Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture pattern, creating a highly secure grip even when your hands are wet. The alternating layers of yellow and black also give the knife enhanced visibility, which can be especially useful around boats, docks, kayaks, and other aquatic environments.
A generously sized lanyard hole allows for easy attachment of fobs, lanyards, or safety lines, while the broad-based four-position pocket clip provides versatile carry options. The clip supports left- or right-side carry in either tip-up or tip-down orientation, giving you the flexibility to configure the Shaman Salt around your preferred setup.
Measuring 8.25 inches overall and 4.67 inches closed, the Shaman Salt weighs 5.2 ounces. Its combination of a corrosion-resistant MagnaCut blade, rugged G-10 construction, secure Compression Lock, and versatile carry system makes it a capable choice for hard use both on land and around the water.
