Aren't you supposed to use cloth because paper towels are made of wood, therefore they are abrasive. And will scratch your blade.

Most comprehensive strop video I've seen. Thank you sir for your work.

Great video man. Narration on what you're doing and why is helpful. Including pressure info and showing burr removal in detail is something that many gloss over and you're right, besides apexing it is the most important thing. Question. When you raised your angle during deburring, were you feeling it just bump up against the roughness or did you fully leave the bevel smoothness feel? Subbed and thanks for the content.

Great video! I have the same M4 Shaman as well as the treerex version. I also have twelve pm2's so I think you make the right conclusions!

I really want one. Classic design with the arcane touch. Great video my man! Very detailed.

Cool knife

This is the best review about the Bit Bar Inline so far that I have seen on TH-cam

Nice👍stonewashed or service finish?

Excellent video

Im becoming a huge fan of Spyderco's cbn. Its the perfect finish for high carbide steels.

Cpm D2 and f400 is a match made in heaven.

Merry Christmas Nocturne !!!!

The sharpness of the Rex 121…..too be honest….is very sub par for Spyderco….I lost the use of an eye and my hand and cannot sharpen or even strop a blade today….I wish I knew someone who could put a great edge on mine….until then it just sits in a drawer 😢

Howdy young man….if you get some scales for a Mule…..you may become addicted to them….they come razor sharp in all kinds of steel types….bargains!!!….and kudos to Spyderco to keep making them exactly the same and trying new steels. Have fun!

Great review ❤

So how much do you charge it I mail you mine? LOL. But really.

Very good video. I mostly use a spyderco sharpmaker with various additional grit rods but even at that I learned some great tips from your demo. Thanks!

Do you still anodize these? I have one and like the look.

Cant find this blade anywhere

2024 still waiting :'( did score a like new sage 1 atleast.

I have the shaman, the paramilitary 2 is slightly illegal where I live

Always a pleasure to sharpen well heat treated Cruwear. Definitely one of my favorite steels.

Great looking knife! Im finally starting to get over my "fixed blades shouldn't cost as much as folders" mindset, and i definitely see something from DCC in my future. So... K390, 64-65hrc custom heat treat, chisel grind, 19-23 thou BTE. From the maker with ~22° slightly convexed edge. Ive used it pretty hard (cutting up tons of dirty cardboard, twisting out of cuts in seasoned hardwood, lots of dumb machete type stuff) and haven't had any chipping. Obvious answer here feels like drop the angle, but im curious what you would do.

I know this is older, but I was actually looking to see the placement of the washers as they are concave. Does it matter concave toward the blade? Convex toward the blade? Or maybe it doesn’t matter?

Thanks for the review.😊

I don't understand the price of the shaman. $240 for s30v. My pm 2 s45v was $80 less.

thanx was looking for u...perfect

I love the blade shape but the original scale is "not compatible". Nice scale you have there

I am an old guy. I am amazed how quickly ghetto talk makes it into the mainstream, sadly. SICK is bad, your spacer looks Great.

This is kinda weird.. so for a little while now I’ve been keeping a personal log.. that’s giving it more credit than it deserves.. well I’ve been keeping track of as many Holt Haptic’s and Morpheus’s as possible whenever I come across them and their info. Well I began rewatching Holt videos tonight and came across this one again. I’ve previously watched it but it looked interesting enough to watch it, at the very least, a second time, as far as I can remember. I really dig the way this Morpheus looks, has really interesting colors, and as soon as you flashed the selinko info, I paused it and took a photo of it and of the knife, to add with all the others I’ve been collecting. I currently own two Haptics and two Morpheus’s and as soon as I seen the date of birth on screen, alarm bells were ringing in my head. I’ve seen that exact date before! 08/08/2022 to be exact. I know I have because it’s the date of probably my favorite Morpheus, #740! The Morpheus in the video is #657. Both #657 and #740 share the exact same birthday! 08/08/22! And both have S90V blade steel(which seems pretty rare as far as I can tell)! But here’s the weird part.. My Morpheus #740 is a “V2”, which means that it is a frame lock! The video’s Morpheus #657 is a liner lock! Simple math shows that there would be 82 different Morpheus’s between #657 and #740. And all 84 of them(at the very least) had to have all been born on the exact same day! Now somewhere in there they switched from liner lock Morpheus’s to frame lock Morpheus’s. But it gets a little weirder.. as I was saving the photos of the selinko info and knife, I noticed that when I saved it with #657 they ordered themselves numerically, and right next to the brand new photos were screenshots with the exact same number, #656! I had previously come across this exact same knife, earlier this year, on 6/17/2024, in a post where it was previously up for sale on blade forums! What are the odds!? All of this makes me wonder just how Holt are doing their knive’s date of births. Is it more arbitrary rather than exactly whenever the knives are actually made or finished? Or I’m guessing they are doing large groups on a certain date(entering in the selinko information) and sometimes all different kinds can get mixed together on the same exact date. I dunno.. but now I’m even more curious.. if anyone knows, please share, I’d love to know more! Thanks for your time and thanks for reading this if you made it this far!

You have to be kidding

You're right. Pretty lame video, and lazy too. Why in the world would you let this video still be up?? You should have redone it and gotten rid of this joke of a video. So many "I think" or "I don't know" in this mess. Really a shame with this great knife.

Garbage knife tbh , thumb studs ding up the aluminum and then u end up with blade rock . 😮

Stone washed shaman has much softer jimping and that is the default Shaman. Also Shaman has much stronger blade and tip. If you are into bushcrafting or survival Shaman is a much better knife and PM2.

I've got one coming pretty soon, pretty rad

Thanks

Subscribed! Great video!

The webfoot is so underrated. I got mine for $35. Im gonna buy a couple more when they're on sale again.

Hey brother! Hope you’re ok up there. We’re still without power here in Cola town. Hoping it comes back soon. Be safe!

You just saved me a ton of money! That nub is a huge no-go for me.

Good job !!!

I get the feeling whoever you bought that for is never going to see it 🤣🤣

The new Bodacious solves that nubb over the compression lock problem. That was a deal breaker on the Shaman for me as well

What strop is that?

I own both and carry the Shaman 3 to 1 over the PM2. If you just fidget and cut paper, the PM2 is the choice, but if you need a sturdy, reliable knife the Shaman is the choice. Personally I didn't even notice the nub until it was shown on youtube. I guess my "man hands" didn't feel the jimping issue...Actually I like it! I still use my PM2 as my "Gentlemans blade".

I'm a PM2 guy but waiting on a nice sprint run on the Shaman to get a cool steel. The standard S30V isn't worth the price in Europe in my opinion, despite Spyderco's impecable heat treatment. If I'm getting one it better be something special that's all. The CruWear PM2 is just so sweet, I'd love a tough Shaman in something like 3V.

Those AD knives, AD10, AD15, etc are by Andrew Demko as far as I know. John is his brother, also a knife guy and a partner in Demko Knives.

Have the same knife. Love it. Had it for a while. Recently lost it and just got a new one today.
