The Spyderco Shaman CPM SPY27 is a substantial manual folding knife designed for dependable everyday carry, outdoor chores, and demanding utility cutting. This exact configuration pairs the Shaman's broad 3.58-inch blade with CPM SPY27, a proprietary powder-metallurgy stainless steel developed specifically for Spyderco. Its alloy composition is intended to provide a practical balance of toughness, edge retention, corrosion resistance, and straightforward sharpening. The satin-finished blade has a plain cutting edge and a full-flat grind, creating an efficient geometry for controlled slicing while retaining the sturdy proportions associated with the Shaman platform. Spyderco's trademark round opening hole provides direct access for manual deployment without adding a separate thumb stud. The handle uses contoured cobalt blue G-10 scales shaped to offer a comfortable, hand-filling profile. Nested stainless steel liners reinforce the handle, while the open-backed construction keeps the internal area accessible for routine cleaning. A high-strength Compression Lock secures the blade during use and is positioned along the spine of the handle for convenient operation. The knife measures 8.25 inches overall when open and 4.67 inches closed, with a 0.145-inch-thick blade and a product weight of 5.2 ounces. A polished four-position pocket clip can be arranged for right- or left-side carry in either tip-up or tip-down orientation, allowing the carry setup to be matched to user preference. The symmetrical clip options and accessible opening hole make this model suitable for ambidextrous use. Made in the USA, this Shaman is distinguished by its CPM SPY27 blade, cobalt blue G-10 construction, PlainEdge configuration, and versatile carry system, making it a capable choice for users who prefer a robust folder with practical materials and adaptable pocket placement.Specifications and Features: 3.58-inch satin-finished CPM SPY27 stainless steel blade PlainEdge configuration with full-flat grind Cobalt blue contoured G-10 handle scales High-strength Compression Lock mechanism Nested stainless steel liners and open-backed construction Four-position pocket clip for ambidextrous carry Overall Length: 8.25 inches Closed Length: 4.67 inches Blade Thickness: 0.145 inch Product Weight: 5.2 ounces Made in the USA Brand: Spyderco Series: Shaman Product Type: Manual folding knife Manufacturer Part Number: C229GPCBL UPC: 716104018604
