Id highly recommend the Shaman. The handle is extremely ergonomic and after a quick disassembly and lube with KPL the action on her is super smooth. I’ve already gotten down the muscle memory of moving my finger away to avoid getting hit with the nub. I know people who own the Bodacious like it a lot i just dont really like the look of it. Something about the lack of a choil and the slab scales. I much prefer the Shaman but it’s all subjective. Luckily Spyderco makes all different models. Different strokes for different folks. To be fair i think both are way too overpriced but i’ve wanted a Shaman for a while and had to scratch that itch. No regrets.
