The **Spyderco Shaman Lightweight C229SBK CTS-BD1N, Black FRN, serrated** is a robust and versatile pocket knife from Spyderco's popular Shaman series, designed by Sal Glesser. This Lightweight version with a handle by FRN offers the same powerful performance and ergonomics as the original, but in a 15g lighter and more affordable package! This version has a serrated edge to cut tough materials, like cardboard or rope.



The Spyderco Shaman Lightweight C229SBK CTS-BD1N, Black FRN, serrated pocket knife, Sal Glesser design is a hefty EDC knife in the colour black. With its blade length of 9,2 cm, it's especially suited for demanding cutting tasks. This is not a compact knife! When closed, it measures 11,9 cm in length and it weighs 135 g.



Opening the Spyderco Shaman Lightweight C229SBK CTS-BD1N, Black FRN, serrated pocket knife, Sal Glesser design with one hand is very easy thanks to the thumb hole. Once opened, the sturdy Compression Lock ensures that the blade is locked and won't accidentally close during use. The Compression Lock is an invention by Sal Glesser and his son Eric Glesser of  Spyderco. In terms of operation, it's kind of like a reverse liner lock. However, in practice, the Compression Lock is much stronger. This is because the lock wedges laterally between the blade tang and the stop pin, rather than just making contact with the blade. What's more, a Compression Lock has a very high 'fidget factor'.



## Handle made of FRN

The handle of the Spyderco Shaman Lightweight C229SBK CTS-BD1N, Black FRN, serrated pocket knife, Sal Glesser design is made of FRN and measures 11,9 cm in length. FRN stands for *Fibre-Reinforced Nylon*. That makes it a type of plastic made from nylon, and reinforced with glass fibres for additional strength and durability. FRN is also known as GFN.



## Designer Sal Glesser
Sal Glesser is the legendary founder of Spyderco. Together with his wife Gail, he founded this iconic knife brand. He is the inventor of the round thumb hole and many more innovations. Many of Spyderco's standard models were designed by Sal himself. Read more about [Sal Glesser here](/en/ct/sal-glesser-knife-designer.htm).



## Spyderco: great pioneer in the world of knives
Spyderco is one of the world's leading knife companies. Many innovations were made by this brand, think of the pocket clip, the thumb hole, a large range of locking mechanisms, but also steel types. It's safe to say the knife world would have looked very different indeed without Spyderco.

Spyderco was founded in 1976 by Sal and Gail Glesser. Interestingly, they didn't start out selling knives. The first product Sal and Gail sold was a soldering tool, which they sold travelling around markets. Then came a sharpening system, causing Sal to start experimenting with pocket knives. In his quest for a knife that was easier to open with one hand, he came up with the idea for a round thumb hole while experimenting. A stroke of pure genius.

Today, the next generation is at the helm of Spyderco. Eric Glesser, the son of Sal and Gail, works hard every day to further establish Spyderco as a leading knife brand.
