The Amalgam™ is a practical, versatile working knife that combines all the advantages of Spyderco’s high-strength Compression Lock®, a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™, and a flipper opener into one package. The brainchild of a college student named Brian Lai, the heart of the Amalgam is its broad, drop-point blade, which is full-flat ground from CPM® S30V® stainless steel. The blade rides on special low-friction ball-bearing washers contained within the ergonomic handle, which is constructed with nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners and textured carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales. A four-position clip and lined lanyard hole provide convenient carry and allow the Amalgam to be brought into action quickly with either hand.

Notes

The flipper tab will push your finger out of the way of the compression lock area similar to the Shaman and Yojumbo. If you are a huge fidgeter, this is definitely a factor to consider. I have heard from a few owners that they performed a flipper delete on it and got a lot more enjoyment out of it.

I think that if you like the Shaman's leaf shaped blade and like flippers, this could be a good option to try as well. The blade stock is not as thick but it definitely feels quite stout. The CF/G10 scales also provide a nice medium level of grip without being too smooth or coarse in my opinion. Not going to slip out of my pocket but won't shred it either.
