Spyderco Shaman Lightweight Black FRN 3.5 inch CTS-BD1 Compression Lock Knife – Made in USA (SC229PBK)

A Lightweight Take on a Proven Spyderco Workhorse

The Spyderco Shaman Lightweight delivers the same dependable cutting performance and ergonomic design the Shaman is known for, but in a lighter, more carry-friendly configuration. This version features a 3.5 inch CTS-BD1 stainless steel blade with a satin finish, paired with a black FRN handle that significantly reduces weight while maintaining strength and comfort.

Spyderco’s Compression Lock keeps operation secure and intuitive, allowing for safe one-handed use without putting your fingers in the blade path. Combined with the Shaman’s broad blade and robust geometry, this lightweight version remains a capable everyday tool without the bulk of the G-10 models.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

This is a great option for someone who likes the Shaman design but wants something easier to carry all day. You still get that wide, confident blade shape and solid lockup, just in a lighter package that disappears in the pocket faster.
