OK-229 Shaman Replica Review: M390 Blade With Upgrades?
OK-229 Shaman Replica Review: M390 Blade With Upgrades?
Today I'm reviewing the OK-229 from OK Knives - their take on the Spyderco Shaman with some interesting tweaks to the original design. This version comes with beautiful carbon fiber scales that offer the perfect balance - they don't get cold in winter or hot in summer, and provide just the right amount of grip in all conditions.
What caught my attention is the premium M390 blade steel, known for its exceptional edge retention and toughness. But the real story might be the subtle design modifications compared to the original Shaman. Are these changes improvements or missteps? I'll break down how these tweaks affect comfort and usability, and why this knife has earned its place as my go-to tool for serious work tasks. For anyone seeking a hard-use knife that's comfortable enough for extended cutting sessions, this one deserves consideration.
