The Spyderco Shaman with a Black DLC blade (brand part no. C229GPBK) takes the hand-filling Shaman design, based on the iconic Spyderco Native, and finishes it entirely in low-profile black. Made by Spyderco at its U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado, the 3.58-inch CPM S30V blade carries a Diamond-Like Carbon coating and a very high flat grind, secured by Spyderco’s Compression Lock. Like the blade, the clip and all handle hardware feature a non-reflective matte black coating.
