The Spyderco Shaman with a Black DLC serrated blade (brand part no. C229GSBK) combines aggressive cutting power with an all-black, low-profile finish on Spyderco’s hand-filling Shaman design. Made by Spyderco at its U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado, the 3.58-inch CPM S30V blade is fully serrated and coated in Diamond-Like Carbon, secured by Spyderco’s Compression Lock. Like the blade, the clip and all handle hardware feature a non-reflective matte black coating.
