Demko AD20.5 vs Spyderco Military

“If you want a Shaman and don't need the M390 and orange micarta, [Freedom Knife Shop](https://freedomknifeshop.com/search.php?search_query=Shaman&section=product&aff=5) has probably the best price on them. The price drops significantly in cart when you get to the shipping method screen. Would leave you enough for a second knife, or if you wanted to order some aftermarket scales for the Shaman. My favorite Spyderco is the [Sage 5](https://freedomknifeshop.com/search.php?search_query=Sage+5&section=product&_bc_fsnf=1&in_stock=1&aff=5), so I'll never not recommend it. Like with the Shaman, leaves you room for a 2nd knife. If you're interested in REX121 steel, I think it's the only option out there for that. Insane edge retention, so an interesting one to try if nothing else. If you don't have one, the [Manix](https://freedomknifeshop.com/search.php?search_query=Manix&section=product&_bc_fsnf=1&in_stock=1) is an interesting option with the ball bearing lock. The [Para 3](https://freedomknifeshop.com/search.php?search_query=Para+3&section=product&_bc_fsnf=1&in_stock=1&brand=51&aff=5) is always worth a look, especially with all the different steel options it has nowadays. My favorite fudgeter is the [Demko AD20.5](https://amzn.to/4p8uTlv) is probably my favorite fidgeter. The one I have linked is the S35VN models, but they also have 20CV and 3V”
