The prices on the Shaman are high because Spyderco has to pay a guy full time to close each knife and document the level of mental anguish he suffered when “THE NUB” touched his finger. Which is why this fancy Nubless design should be cheaper. But it’s not because now they have to pay him workers comp due to a bad case of the Nubbin Finger. Get your facts right.

Steel composition is some "advanced" knife guy stuff to critique. Most of us won't use our knives hard enough to reach the breaking points on hardness, edge retention and corrosion resistance. But people critique it abyway because they want to know that the knife they have COULD perform at the highest level possible despite the fact that they would never be in those scenarios. BladeHQ has a page on their website that has a simplified chart that shows average steel performance. It is a good baseline to start off from but most metallurgists, such as the genius Larrin Thomas, will say its not accurate enough and there's many variables in the smiting process that affect a steel's true performance. But still its a neat way to visualize what to expect from a certain steel, but don't read it as law, just a loose guideline.

One difference I noticed is that the spine of the blade protrudes more from the scales up by the pivot when closed on the shaman, whereas on the bodacious the spine is more or less flush. That protrusion can serve as a front flipper on the shaman, which is actually my preferred deployment for the shaman.

The Shaman has a perfect line , but in my opinion a small project flaw , the portion of the blade inside the handle is too short for such a large and heavy knife and this creates lateral play, perhaps in the bodacious they have improved this aspect ?
@wc4201 17 күн бұрын
Like you I have multiple Shaman’s. I paid 185 for 2 of mine and 202 for the M4 version. My big complaint on the shaman is the piece of metal that pops up when closed on the lock and the scales being extremely slick. The blade is legit tho. I’ve used mine camping and boating doing real work and it’s been solid. All that said this knife is very expensive… for both. Won’t be getting this one. But it is nice.

Sharpening choils can snag materials, cloth and rope being the worst. Spyderco leaves it to the user to add there own, choil if they so choose. As someone who doesnt like sharpening choils, on most knives, it’s a positive for me. Sharpening choils have just been the trendy thing to do as of late, since most people have knives as pocket jewlery, and want to keep them pretty

I recommend not buying from any brands own website. They usually charge much more than certified retailers. BladeHQ has the exact same knife for $286.50 and they are typically my go to for knives. KnifeCenter, BladeOps, Smokey Mountain Knife Works, and KnifeWorks are all good retailers for general knife buying. Stay as far away from Amazon as possible for all knives, especially more expensive knives.

S30V is a great steel to be sure. Honestly I cannot think of a steel that I would feel ok paying this price for. Feels like Spyderco is hedging their bets that the Bodacious will have mass appeal. Given that plus brand loyalty, Spyderco will be able to realize sales at the price they are asking. Has nothing to do with common materials, but name brand star power to make the sales.
@J0eMega 17 күн бұрын
There’s definitely some steels I can see being justifiably high, such as damasteel. For example, the weknife vision, when you get it in that steel, goes from like $270 to $600+. However, S30V is by no means in that league of steel.

After owning knives in s90v, 20cv/m390, s45vn, s35vn, k390, magnacut, and M4. I finally added a classic 940 to my collection. While I don't prefer it to say m4. I've realized that s30v still holds up. people love 20cv but hate s30v. I'd take s30v for a few dollars less. I also realized that while Benchmade overprices a lot of knives. I feel that the $200ish mark for the 940 is fair, given how well it performs and the warranty provided. I would also say that the new 940 in magnacut does not warrant an additional $50ish over the classic.

The Shaman is my favorite knife of all (regardless of brand) and I have no issue with S30V (it's a great steel and I'm so old I remember when it was "the new thing" and when, working with Gerber at the time, it was a BIG deal that they were using it on all their Military issue and high-end Portland made knives) but the price is INSANE to me for both the Shaman and the Bodacious for all the actual reasons it's insane (cost of manufacturing/dimensions of materials etc). I _want_ a Bodacious, to me it seems to have some aspects of the Manix (blade stock thickness) in the Shaman-like layout/handle design and THAT is an awesome combo IMO... but Spyderco is going NUTS with these prices like so many other knife companies, seemingly just because they can and because internet hipsters drive the prices up as knives have become like purses/shoes for men. It's ridiculous. Still an awesome looking knife and if it's a variation of the Shaman I know I'd love it's shape/design (and I DO use my knives for heavy things like hunting/backpacking/rafting/Search and Rescue work etc). I'm just hoping they come to their sense on pricing and they give us a K390 variant of both the Shama and the Bodacious and hell... the Manix 2/XL while they're at it. I love K390

I know you’ve mentioned a couple times that s30v has longer (or similar) edge retention compared to s35vn and 45vn, but I’ve been looking around to validate that claim… and that doesn’t seem to be the case. According to tests from both Knife Steel Nerds and Pete for Cedric & Ada, it looks like both s45vn & s35vn have significant increases in edge retention… in the case of Pete’s test of s45vn, nearly double the edge retention. Of course these tests are mostly done with production levels of heat treatment. Are you basing your claim off of what s30v can achieve at optimal custom treatments? If so, I’d think that s35/45vn would have increased performance under those conditions as well. Thoughts?

My thing about the S30v is it is a fantastic steel and isn't cheap no particle steel is and I'm fairly certain it is more expensive to use than S35vn BUT there are decidedly more premium steels available at much lower prices within Spyderco's lineup and I don't really understand what they think this is bringing to the table to make it worth so much more than their other models Also I Don know why they didn't do the chamfering they did on the Shaman I'm sure aftermarket scales will have that but I think if they did that it would rival the ergos of the Shaman due to the more neutral shape

I do think I'm gonna have to get a black one just because my first one is that good. It has to be one of it not the best bang for your buck USA made knife.

Yeah… people give crap to s30v steel. It’s one of the best ever.if you’re good at sharpening it’s better then s35vn. Like you said s45vn is only better in corrosion resistance. Personally I don’t need a salt knife.

Inflation in cost of goods, transportation, manufacturing and the rapid rises in minimum wage are creating wage compression that has to be addressed. Also, US knife makers have very bleak sales forecasts. They aren’t going to sell anywhere near the number of units as the last 4-5 years. They are raising the prices to cover the inflationary factors and the projected downturn in total units sold. 10x Shamans @ $200 is $2000 but if you need 10% year over year sales growth to survive and you know the most you will sell is 8 Shamans then they now cost $275

I think the price issue is extra frustrating because we HAD good pricing and spiderco was obv making good money, then almost double the original price doesn’t justify the increase in cost of labor. Clearly quite greedy.

Just get a set of shaman scales and put them on the bodacious. They will fit

The Bodacious is expensive, but it looks like a great knife.

I really like the overall profile of the Bodacious. Same blade shape as the shaman but thinner. Shame it's laughably overpriced

great!! you have everyone believing that this is an over priced knife yet you own one now. bagging on spyderco in comparison to benchmade because of their "high prices". thats a little unfair. you just purchased the narrows, right? you also purchased 5 shamens which is fucking cool!! i will own 5 manix 2's. i have a minix 2 lw white in rex 45 to arriving any day now. this will be my second manix 2. anyways, one might assume that the bodacious runs on bearings out of the box! that is freaking amazing! to me that alone also being made in the usa, running on some skinny ass bronze washers by a company that you probably dont have to worry if the blade is properly heat treated... all this, to me puts the knife at a reasonable 200, okay, now lets add in the blade material and the geometry. i highly respect your opinion on everything that has to do with knives. im not over here smashing the keys gritting my teeth like the big knife w the strongest lock in the world knife people might do at times. im taking my time in typing this cause i do not want to sound like a know it all cause right here on your platform i most certainly do not. your opinion is last one i go to before i make a purchase. so, in making a comparison to the likes of benchmade, the whores of overpricing in this industry was a beat down, squash the spyder so to speak, LOL! i think i brought up some good points, thats it. thanks M.C. for expanding my knowledge of knives and cracking me up along the way.

I have 2 Shamans, both I’ve customized to my liking. I’m trying my best to justify getting a BODACIOUS…still can’t do it.

Everyone keeps bringing up Benchmade but compare this to the Super Freek with its M4 steel and layered and contoured G10 for $11 cheaper. Benchmade is the better value there which shows how overpriced the Bodacious is, especially given that the Super Freek is overpriced itself.

Yeah, I won’t be returning or selling my bodacious, but underwhelming is probably the right word. That said, I’ve never owned a shaman.

In college I remember getting 10 McDonald burgers for a dollar. Bought a hundred for the dorm. $165 in 2018 is now $206. So enough with the 165, use 206 as your inflation adjusted dollars.
