The Spyderco Shaman is already a legend — a big, confident folder built for serious work and serious collectors. But the factory G-10 scales? They're just the beginning. The TAITAN EDGE Mokume Gane Both-Side Scales replace both the show side and the lock side, transforming your Shaman into a full-dress collector piece that commands attention from every angle.
Mokume Gane — the ancient Japanese metalworking art of layering and forging dissimilar metals — produces a wood-grain-like pattern that is simultaneously organic and precise. No two sets are identical. When you hold this Shaman, you're holding a piece of functional art with centuries of craft behind it.
Why Both Sides?
Most scale upgrades only address the show side. We go further. Both scales are crafted from the same billet of Mokume Gane, ensuring the pattern flows and complements across the entire handle. The result is a knife that looks intentional, complete, and extraordinary — whether it's open on your desk or clipped in your pocket.
What You'll Experience
The warm, layered shimmer of Mokume Gane catching light from every angle
A handle that feels substantial and premium — dense, smooth, and perfectly fitted
The quiet confidence of carrying something most people will never see in person
A conversation piece that doubles as a working tool
