Spyderco Shaman Lightweight Black Blade 3.58″ Folding Knife – DLC Coated CTS BD1N PlainEdge

The Spyderco Shaman Lightweight Black Blade is the stealthy, refined evolution of one of the most respected heavy-duty folding knives ever made. Engineered for operators and enthusiasts who demand serious performance without unnecessary weight, this all-black configuration trims nine percent of the mass from the original Shaman while adding enhanced grip texture for a more confident hold in any condition.

At the heart of this knife is a full-flat-ground 3.58″ blade crafted from Carpenter Technology’s CTS BD1N nitrogen-enriched stainless steel — a premium alloy prized for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade is finished in a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that virtually eliminates reflective signature, making it ideal for low-light or tactical environments where light discipline matters. The PlainEdge grind delivers clean, precise cuts across a wide range of tasks.

The handle is purpose-built for hard use: nested, skeletonized stainless-steel liners add structural integrity while keeping weight in check, and pebble-textured, injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales provide a secure, non-slip grip. Spyderco’s proven high-strength Compression Lock mechanism ensures the blade locks up solidly and releases smoothly, even under demanding conditions. True to its all-black aesthetic, the pocket clip, liners, and all handle hardware feature matching low-profile black coatings.

A broad-based, four-position pocket clip supports tip-up or tip-down carry on either the left or right side, giving you the flexibility to carry exactly how you prefer and keeping the knife ready for immediate, confident one-handed deployment.

Whether you’re a tactical professional, an outdoor enthusiast, or a serious knife collector, the Shaman Lightweight Black Blade is a premium EDC tool built to perform when it counts.
