Got an 0562 in the $150 sell off and boy am I glad I did. What a great knife. It has become my favorite. My Benchmades and Spydercos are getting a lot more shelf time.
I got my Shaman when it first came out for $150 and feel the same way about it. I do have the 0562 in g10 and elmax, it's a great knife too. But my vote goes to the Shaman.
id never even look twice at any of these edc bro knives that weren't marked down at least 40% off. it blows my mind what edc bros are willing to fork over for what are really dumb shits that cost a fraction of their retail to manufacture. at least zt is a knife that has industrial design and fit and finish. sc is a joke for boy brained man children who think being ugly makes it a "serious tool" when in reality it's nothing more than a seriously overpriced toy to collect dust in your drawer along with the 50 other sc knives sitting in there, which are all really the same exact knife with a slightly different steel as if it matters.
Nice Video..actually one of the best I've seen in a while. That's stayed on point and made a lot of sense. A knife is a tool. I'm so happy you didn't talk about fidgeting the Knife all day. at some point, this EDC knife community, turn into something similar to women and talking about their purses. At some point we started talking about the fidget factor, trying to Spidey flick every single knife isn't what the knives made for.
Vehicles are made for transportation. But your not gonna look at a mini van the way you would a mustang. Some people look at vehicles like art work. There's no reason a knife can't be looked at the same way. Its obvious there primary function is cutting. But there's nothing wrong with having admiration for the design either.
Nice comparison MC! I had considered both and bought a shaman mostly because I’m a Spyderco fan and it was a bit cheaper. I had to send it back as the lock stick was really bad and found a g10 s35vn 0562 for a little more than the cost of the shaman. To me the ZT is much nicer knife all round. I love a comp lock and maybe because I have a lot of Spyderco Knives I’m getting a little bored of the format and of the increased prices.This is my first ZT and I’m genuinely concerned it probably won’t be the last!
I think ZT has the better warranty. So in my opinion theres the durability, something happens to the blade a new one is $30 away, bust a tip, or put a big chip in a Spyderco and it goes in a drawer somewhere cause you cant get blade replaced.(edit) didn't know you'd get into warranty and unless they made a massive change Spyderco policy is no blade replacement.(at least that's what they told me when I busted tip off of my S30V PM2)
Great review of both blades. I have never owned a spyderco, but am considering a shaman. Your reference to lock bar failure at the end of the view is 100% accurate. I had a 0393glo fail on me a few weeks ago. Cut the crap out of my knuckle on my right hand. Zt is gonna have to fix that.
@Richard Davis well funny thing my buddy held it to either side and taped it on his knee a couple times at it shut. Like an idiot I taped it on the palm of my left hand and and the blade swung around and hit the knuckle on my index finger on my right hand. It was a brand new zt glow carbon fiber.
I had six zt's with that lock face issue where the lock would fail from a spine tap, nowhere near a whack. The 0393sw was one of them. But to zt's credit, I sent them all in for warranty and they fixed them all.
Same lol I couldn’t decide but the shaman does see a lot more pocket time then my 0562 cf just because I love that I don’t have to put my thumb in the path of the blade
I bought my Shaman when they were first introduced at the cheaper price. However, I've hardly used/carried it at all due to the weight. If you're wearing snug fitting thick denim trousers then fine, the weight is supported. Any lighter pants though are constantly being 'pulled down'. For this reason it's stayed in it's box tucked away in a drawer for nearly the whole time I've had it while my HAP40 Endura is a constant companion.
You are correct about warranty. Spyderco warranty and customer service on their USA made knives has discouraged me from future purchases. ZT has been very good.
I am a year late, but the choice for me was between the ZT 0393 GLCF and the Shaman, the recessed point of the spine where the flipper is, makes it a non-issue in pocket, the weight drops to 5 ounces, the CF makes it fill the hand a little more. I think everything except the disassembly that you didn’t like in the ZT knife, was addressed in the GLCF. GLCF IS 20CV, and since it rains a ton where I live, and I hike a ton here in the PNW, it made my decision for me. I think it all comes down to preference. I also like how the GLCF points to the far right in pocket V the shaman, making it easier to get into the pocket when the knife is clipped in. Otherwise, I would give them a tie and give this final...you can’t go wrong with either knife. It is great to have two fantastic choices made in the USA. Well done ZT and Spiderco. Thanks for the video.
I haven’t seen it yet. I will in about 5 minutes. I bought the GLCF, and and just picked up a Manix 2 in cpm 20cv. Went for something just a little different. You make great videos. I appreciate your time and effort. Thank you.
You could buy a door from some company. Install it everyday and live there for years. Then one day some crazy person walks in when you thought it was locked. Is that door still a good door? Did it work as designed? Do you need the lock everyday? Was it worth it to pay that kind of money for a door with such nice materials? 😂
Yes... at some point, the conversation about said metaphor becomes convoluted... the original point becomes more distant... ... wait... What were we talking about?
great review, as usual. for me the shaman and 562cf were hard sells. i have the shaman at 203$ and ordered the 562cf at 260$. once in hand the shaman is just amazing, if expensive. hope i'll be impressed with the zt with the 20cv blade. zt seems more premium with the beautiful carbon fiber (NOT a fan of g10 except the smooth g10 on the shaman). who knows? price on both will continue to rise, for sure.
Idk why everyone loves the ergos on the shaman. It’s okay but the manix XL is waaaaay better. The shaman g10 feels cheap and plasticy plus the whole balance is head heavy so it just feels odd. Also the blade not being rounded when closed catches and looks ugly/bulky. The ZT and manix xl are both more balanced higher quality feeling. 200 for the shaman is steep.
Great video. I'm really debating between these two right now. I don't feel like you were pretty biased from the get go regarding the Shaman. I sensed a cringe everytime you felt like you had to award a point to the 0562. That being said, still really educational and brought to light all of the things I was considering! So thank you.
I guess one thing to consider is which one can you actually purchase today. You can get your hands on a 0562 anywhere but good luck buying a Shaman. I will get a shaman but I guess I will be paying a higher price for it then when they first came out.
I'm a Spyderco guy but I just picked up a ZT 0562 and I really enjoy it, more so than the Shamans I've handled. It fits my hand like it was made for me and feels like heaven. Aesthetically the Shaman handles look cheap but feel pretty good, if Spyderco would ever get their fingers out of their ears and make micarta handles regularly available then I'd probably like it's appearance more.
Do most people disassemble their knives?? I clean all of my knives regularly but I don’t take them apart. I clean with q tips, syringe, canned air etc. am I lacking??
Both are amazing. But the zt just feels a bit better to me. It rides the pocket better. But for hard tasks the shaman has rounded scales more suitable for the situation.
I have the 0562 in g10 and elmax. One of the few zt's I've owned where the lock doesn't fail from a light spine tap. Really like it, nice in hand. But the Shaman? That's my baby. Favorite Spyderco. Good job on this comparision. 👍
@@19Bearsfansince79 I know some people feel that way but to me, a knife's lock shouldn't depend at all on my hand to keep it in place. I had six zt's that had the lock face issue, sent them in to Kai and they fixed them all. So obviously there was a problem.
The Shaman is a great knife. But as far as carry-ability goes, the jimping on the Shaman will eat a hole through your pocket. I have two pairs of jeans that have the exact same hole in the same place, both from the jimping/sharp corner on the blade that’s exposed when closed. I’d still take it over the ZT based on the compression lock alone.
It's funny how EDC knife nuts will sit there and really talk about how much they love the new FRN lightweight models. Yet go crazy over the durability of their blade steel, or they're locking mechanism. why in the heck would you want to carry an FRN knife, when you have carbon fiber, titanium and g10 out there. You're literally choosing the lesser material because you save the weight of a small pack of Big Red gum, or even less than that.. why?
I bought a ZT 0562 a couple months ago after watching your videos and seeing the sale price of $150 since it seems the standard S35VN version is being discontinued? For that price, I couldn't pass it up and I'm glad I didn't hesitate. I've done light spine tap testing and no failure whatsoever on my specific knife. I was also considering the Shaman but to me, the 0562's value proposition seemed better - I was also looking for something that felt a bit fancier and titanium does that for me. And then I got that red XM-18 3.5 harpoon spanto lmao. I've sharpened my 0562 on my Wicked Edge and have carried it, but still haven't even sharpened the XM yet >.< I look forward to when you are comfortable enough to sharpen one of your XMs on the KME lol
I am a Spyderco fanboy and for the second time in my life, I overpaid for a knife on the secondary market (we don't like to admit it but I bet we've all done it at least once). My first was the Slysz Bowie and the second was the Shaman in cruwar & micarta. Honestly, this knife is crazy good in terms of deployment, ergo's feel in the hand and blade quality. I have never owned a ZT but it seems you did a thorough and fair comparison but I have to think that at this point the material choices might set the Shaman apart even more.
Both great knives but ultimately at the end of the day the Shaman is the tougher knife. The bearings and the poor lock geometry is the downfall of the 0562. The bearings on mine has made the knife a pain to open on many occasions.
Both awesome looking knives. Might get the sprint run Shaman. Hopefully the CF is as nice as the Knifeworks exclusive PM2. But I don't own a ZT and should try one.
Okay advice Mr metal complex I'm going to the store right now I'm either going to get the Spyderco shaman or spyderco kapara which one should I get? I've got that transparent blue mannix 2 I love it I have a 943 Benchmade I have a ProTech and I have a automatic benchmade so I'm wondering what would go best what's the first thing that comes to mind
Spyderco warranty only applies in the USA, ZT warranty covers USA, Canada and México, you broke the blade of a spyderco well buy a new one, you broke a ZT blade, it's ok $40 usa and you got a new blade, plus hardware, clips, etc, ZT ships it for free, spyderco don't (and if you dissasembly the spyderco the warranty is voided)
thank you so much for talking about deployment the way you do. This is middle finger flick shit that people do and all this weird fidget factor opening mechanism, is silly. Use the flipper the way the knife was designed.

It's just to cover them so they can decide on a case by case basis.
ZT are toys, not tools. Just another mass produced flipper with bearings, like all their new shit. Make up your mind ZT, you have thick as shit blade stocks trying to maintain the "tank" image, but add weak ass bearings and a slippery frame lock? it's almost laughable, trying to appeal to every market to sell. If you want pure cutting tools buy Spyderco, if you want pure toughness and still be able to cut things buy Cold Steel, if you want a knife that pretends to do both but fails at both - buy ZT.

No, that category refers to "shape" options. Serrations and dlc coatings just alter the same blade shape.
Have both. I think the ZT is a better knife

You voided your warranty with Spyderco when you disassembled it.
Things have changed. You can now disassemble them without voiding the warranty.

Just oredered a shaman I'm stoked
Always love my 0562 ti and 0393.

Great video but now I miss my zt562ti it needs to be sharpened but I dont have one
Cool comparison
Three and a half inch or bigger over $200 will be a fixed blade in my collection.
I had a ZT0801Ti with the lock face issue. I got the dremel out to fix it. Sad
I had six zt's with that problem. Sent them all in to Kai and they fixed them all.
Spyderco is certainly lacking in the quality control department.

Bias! deployment means, shaman has two
Seriously I cannot stand that for him. G10 isn't a much better material. well I hold a Benchmade bug-out in my hand, it feels like a piece of shit.
