Just got my 1st Spyderco. Picked up PM2 S45VN DLC digi camo G10. Absolutely love it and can't wait to start modding it. My Spydie wishlist right now - Smock, Shaman, Manix 2, Amalgam, PM2 Wharnie, Para 3, Li'l Native Wharnie, Sage 5.
I want that wharnie PM2 so badly. I put Cerberus Ultem scales on on PM2, and am going to add toxic storm fat carbon back spacer and clip from RGT. I want the PM2 Wharnie and I want to put black ultem scales on it. I love the semi transparent gold ultem that is on my S45VN DLC PM2 and also have the BladeHQ exclusive Deka Wharnie in Ultem and Magnacut, but think it would be dope to have black on a DLC wharnie
The 15v big brown bear knives are all insane. I can’t get them to dull. I have all three, para 2, manax 2, and the Shaman which is my daily user. I love them all. Shaman in 15v is the best knife I’ve ever owned. I even bought one to keep and never use.
That's awesome man 😎 I missed on all of them sadly. I would've got the shaman in a heartbeat. I hope they come back around someday. I want to snag a shaman in something crazy though. Cruwear would be sweet too
I’m also a huge fan of spyderco’s DLC coating. Love how matte it is and how it wears with use and I love doing Spyderco builds with the DLC blades cause it creates a really high contrast look paired with some bright coloured scales. Really cool stuff.
Awesome video my friend! Amazing spyderco collection and great selection. I’ve been wanting to make a video like this for some time now. You nailed this one! 💯🔥 Awesome Content Gang! 👊🏼
Thanks man!! I appreciate that brother. Got to love spyderco, if for nothing else they make a comfortable user knife with a proper heat treat and a great edge 🤜💥🤜💥
@GBall_Vision Hey brother, I just got my shaman! Do they typically come pretty stiff? Because mine is pretty dang stiff lol. I'm sure after a while it will break in, and I've added some lube to it and adjusted the pivot screws, but dang, lol.
@@KnifeFanatic damn yeah I should've told ya. A lot of them will come fairly stiff because the washers need broken in. Typically you don't want to mess with anything and just keep opening and closing it for a few days and eventually it becomes like butter. If you watch the unboxing of mine you can see kind of how stiff it is. I can show you a video of how it is now I'd say it took about 4-6 days of opening and closing it every night. But what you did is okay, just keep opening and closing it. Those washers are like a new machine that need break in time to run good
The Shaman has been my “go to” work knife for years. If I had to choose one knife for life, it’d be that knife. I’ve beat the crap out of that S30V so easy sharpening is very important.
Awww Man i am so jelly… Shaman is my Fav, i have the S30V satin, and TKJ Exclusive. Love them both. I want the BHQ Green Micarta M4 sssssooooooo baaaaaaaad!!!!!!
@@sprinkleddonuts6094 I have a bunch of Spyderco knives. Like 160. And only those 2 Shamans. I really want the Bodacious to come out already. And I like the standard Shaman with the stonewashed finish. I gotta sell some stuff as I went crazy in the last couple years. Pm2’s,para3’s Native LW’s endura’s,endela’s. Too many 🤦♂️ Blade HQ is supposed to be dropping a micarta xhp Shaman soon. I definitely wanna get that.

The first S30V knife I owned was a Spyderco. Still razor sharp and not a speck of rust. It's been 15 years now. And the knife design has been discontinued, the Zulu. Sweet knife.
Ah man that's an awesome looking knife man! I agree S30V is a steel I'd choose for many many steels. I like steels that are well rounded not just good in one category. Thanks for hanging out brother
Just swapped out the scales on my S30V Manix with some AWT aluminum scales and added the replacement ball cage lock and Lynch replacement clip. By eliminating the liners, it almost cut the weight of the knife in half. It’s now only about a half ounce heavier than my lightweight Manix but looks cooler and feels better than the lightweight’s FRN scales.
Hell yes! Wharny Pm2 exclusive cutlery shop XHP vid coming soon. Just got it today. I'm hoping the manix 2 upgrades im going to do will up my love for it
Now comes the true mission. Find a Crucarta or Z-Carta Shaman. I was lucky enough to find a Z-Carta on the swap, and it is probably tied with my 15V Manix as my favorite Spyderco. The Z-Carta is actually in my pocket right now.
The shaman I would love to get is a s90v version the cruwear as well but they are all sweet in one way or another for sure. Thanks man. I wouldn't mind a 15v shaman either😂 😂😂
I agree, I am a spydeco fan, have the PM2 and the tenacious, the manix 2 is a cool knife but for the money, they should not use a plastic ball bearing housing, the shaman is the next 1 I want , been " hinting " to my wife lately 😊
Great video! I got the acid etched version of the Smock with heat treated bronze hardware from KP. I’m obsessed. I’ve already swapped the scales, pocket clip, button, and added a brass back spacer. Can’t decide if I’m going to do Shaman or Para 2 next.
@@GBall_Vision The Shaman definitely has a much more appealing silhouette. Might just have to pick up the 15V variant. Definitely gonna acid etch it. I officially have the customization bug. Thanks man! Have a safe 4th of July! 🇺🇸
I can't talk on the paramilitary 2 yet but it will be gotten soon, I absolutely want to check one out, I'd say they'd compare well though, but the shaman still might have it by a smidgen 🤜💥
Kapara s30v Gayle Bradley 1 m4 GB2 CruWear Para 3 Maxamet Smock s30v Native 5 Salt Magnacut Great list video! There some on your list I don’t have like the Shaman and Manix. Several on my list are there because they carry slim in my pocket; Kapara, Smock, and somewhat the Gayle Bradleys . It’s easy to reach into the same pocket as these knives to pull out a roll of dog poop bags! Several are on my list as work knives; Native 5, Gayle Bradley, Para 3. These are relatively easy to use with leather gloves on, especially the Native with back lock. The compression lock can be frustrating when wearing leather gloves. The Kapara and Smock are kind of dressy edc but fully capable of doing some work.
I have the Shaman black out and I absolutely love it! I also have the para 2 and para 3, and I love them as well! I also have the Manix 2 in crew wear and love it as well. Spyderco's are my favorite EDC knives. They are made very well and I also love the fact they are made in the USA! Thanks for the video. It is very informative!
Thanks brother Nick. Glad you enjoyed it. Spyderco is a great company to go with. They have great knives and nowadays there's a ton of good ones to try if you are collecting
@@GBall_Visionthe 20CV exclusive Kapara is possibly the best knife that has come from Spyderco in my opinion. Love the Smock and Shaman but they are 2 and 3 respectively in my pocket!
When I first got into knives, I hated Slydercos- thought they were hideous. Now, my top 10 knives are dominated by Spyderco. My favorites- 5. Sage 5 4. Spydiechef 3. Techno 2 2. Shaman 1. Smock
nice list gorilla! i wouldnt mind trying out some of their liner lock style knives, i havent ever experienced one, always all compression style or back locks. sometimes it takes just getting 1, then you realize how comfortable and well made how sharp they are, then its over lol. thanks brother
Would love a Shaman but my PM2 is working just fine. 100% agree on the S30v! Been using my pm2 for 5 years and it’s got many years of service left in it.
I've always advocated for the manix 2 but I have to say, native 5 is my favorite to carry lately. It's blacked out in cruwear like your pm3. That's my top two spyderco knives.
@@GBall_Vision S30V and S110V are the only options in g10 outside of knifecenter's cruwear exclusive. There's is a premium one with S90V and carbon fiber scales. Of the lightweight models I'd go with Maxamet or spy27, the one in magnacut is fully serated.
Anyone ever see a spyderco blade get worn down to noticeable ? Saw a cpl benchmades in my lifetime get new blades . Dudes ❤ their 940 s . That’s too bad BM is losing all us buyers due to competition s lower prices because I think we all like the knives .
I defintely like the contoured scales on the shaman . I like every knife on the table a lot tbh. Big fan of that dude on Etsy from France with the contoured fat carbon 3 pack deal of scales , backspacer and clip for the para 2 . He s doing a shaman that way although it’s not advertised . I ll send a pic when/if it arrives . I thought them titanium scales Robs nerdy knives has on his looked excellent on the shaman . I think I paid $170 for the scales , backspacer and clip. Made $600 today patching up a plaster ceiling . I use rhododendrum fertilizer , a palmful , to quicken the hardening so I can clean up them topcoat . ❤this time of year with construction/ maintenance .
They actually went with polymer for a reason. The aftermarket ball cages that are aluminum and other metal materials sometimes will bind the blade. I've even bought a brand new flytanium and it was binding the action brand new. I have since went back to stock ball cages and never had a problem. If your knife is not a serious use knife then I guess it's ok to try out Shiney upgrades.
Native Chief S30V Smock S30V Manix 2 LW S110V Shaman S30V Bodacious (coming soon) S30V These are examples of knives that can be used for both simple tasks, and personal protection.
being in the early stages of magnacut, it seems to be like 154 or s30v on steroids, very well rounded steel for sure. but on the other hand, s30v properly HT, would be more then we could ever need, we just love steels lol
@@whatfreedom7 I have one of those. I show it in my most recent Spyderco collection update I believe. The tanto and wharncliffe pm2 are still some of my favorites all time
I got lucky and snagged one without having to resort to eBay. The wharncliffe version os also nice and is still on my wish list but I just having found a new or fairly priced one on the used market yet.
Best steels from spyderco from my uses.. i cut zip ties and alot of cardboard Maxamet steel is the only steel i didnt need to sharp it but i use it on summer not on rainy days cause its gets rusty S45vn better than s30v .. but now spyderco is making rex 121 whitch is the best blade steel ever made.
def on edge retention for sure! i love s30v though, just because of how well rounded it is, but i do like k390 for sure. thank you brother man! I appreciate it buddy
@@GBall_Vision yea men pls check out, uts soo fucking good- get it in Magnacut when u not afraight of Patina or Rost. I have the 30v blade, becouse i cut lots of food and wet stuff :D The best blade shape and ergos on this Spidy
I mean it could be probably labeled like that, but Spyderco isn't known to make a bunch of new designs lol. And that wouldn't of been as eye catching ya know 😃thanks brother
Not everything is meant to be a thin slicer. Something like the para 3 is designed to be more of an all around user than a thin slicer. You can't hold that against the knife when that's not the intention
When I first started buying pocket knives I thought Spyderco knives were ugly, but somehow I turned around and prefer Spyderco knives. I love my PM2, Para3 LW, Sage5 LW, Native5 LW, Smock, Tenacious LW, Manix2 and my favorite Shaman. I’m addicted. Great video, GBall..!!

@ghostgoat5508 i got the para 2 the only thing is you have to keep it oiled often or it will rust badly
Great list. Spydercos are great knifes. Shaman #1 then PM 2, then Manix 2. Top 3.
I like that top, 3! If I can get the upgrades for the ball cage and what not it may bump the manix up for me to my ,#3 as well. Thanks Jamie 🤜💥

I got lucky and snagged one without having to resort to eBay. The wharncliffe version os also nice and is still on my wish list but I just having found a new or fairly priced one on the used market yet.
@@whatfreedom7 wait until you eventually get the wharncliffe, I'd seriously call that one maybe the best PM2. For EDC purposes
Oh man that 20cv green pm2 is bomb, ill buy it from ya anyday!!
@@harrisquicksilver6595 I'll keep that in mind, I've contemplated it a few times
Gift knife is one of the best things in the world. Gift Shaman is a very kind gesture.
Agreed it's an incredible gesture very humbling there's still some good people out there. Thanks for stopping by brother 😃
I definitely want a shaman 💯
The shaman makes me wet bro
I love the pm2 and pm3 cruwears. Dont think I could spent $250+ on one though.
You can typically get them for under 200 if it's a dealer exclusive
Best steels from spyderco from my uses.. i cut zip ties and alot of cardboard
Maxamet steel is the only steel i didnt need to sharp it but i use it on summer not on rainy days cause its gets rusty
S45vn better than s30v .. but now spyderco is making rex 121 whitch is the best blade steel ever made.
Thanks brother 🤜🏻 I plan on getting some 121
K390 smokes s30v except on corrosion resistance.
def on edge retention for sure! i love s30v though, just because of how well rounded it is, but i do like k390 for sure. thank you brother man! I appreciate it buddy
Love Spyderco
Agreed 💯💯 thanks brother 🤜🏻💥
❤Hmm 😊 ❤
Love my shaman. My main carry
It's an amazing knife 😍
Shaman is great wish they had kept contoured scales on the bodacious😢
That would've been great. They don't often go that extra step 😂 if they do we pay for it
yea buddy
Endura lives!
Hells yeah 👍🏻👍🏻
How bout a left handed sharman
I don't need it but I think it would be a good idea I'm not sure how they'd do that. That'd be different for sure
❤❤😊❤😊❤❤
Live my wharnecliffe Endela
It's a beast for sure man 💪🏻
Where is the Sage 5, in my opinion the best Spyderco!
That is one I want to check out yet brother
@@GBall_Vision yea men pls check out, uts soo fucking good- get it in Magnacut when u not afraight of Patina or Rost.
I have the 30v blade, becouse i cut lots of food and wet stuff :D
The best blade shape and ergos on this Spidy
Native 5….
Haven't had the pleasure yet but idk for me if it would move in to my top 5 just because of the lock. Maybe though. Thanks brother
Slysz Bowie
That's one I need to check out brother! It's been in my list for awhile
Shouldn't the lable be "BEST Spyderco TO DATE" You know EVER mean means there will nothing be better than when you say ever?
I mean it could be probably labeled like that, but Spyderco isn't known to make a bunch of new designs lol. And that wouldn't of been as eye catching ya know 😃thanks brother
Shaman looks amazing...but 400cad 'amazing' idk
That's about what it would cost me to buy one and send it to you 300-325. Good knife though, one of the best
You need a lil native God bless
You are correct I do 😂 thanks brother
@@GBall_Vision I knew it haha
I just got one 😅
Absolutely hate the para 3, even in cruwear. It makes absolutely no sense to have a 3 inch blade so thick at the spine.
Not everything is meant to be a thin slicer. Something like the para 3 is designed to be more of an all around user than a thin slicer. You can't hold that against the knife when that's not the intention
Are you kidding me? The para3 is perfect for edc, but I realize everybody has different tastes. Everybody loves the Civi FG but I absolutely hated it.
@@ronandy8681 not everything is for everyone but there's always something for everyone. I agree the para 3 is phenomenal
When I first started buying pocket knives I thought Spyderco knives were ugly, but somehow I turned around and prefer Spyderco knives. I love my PM2, Para3 LW, Sage5 LW, Native5 LW, Smock, Tenacious LW, Manix2 and my favorite Shaman. I’m addicted. Great video, GBall..!!
