Updated Paysan..?
Seems a new batch of Paysans is dropping with some cqi as per a post on Peters Facebook page:
“If anyone is interested in the updated paysan from spyderco. I may be getting a few. They will have hand signed cases. let me know and I can start a small list. Serious inquiry only please.
Price is not known as of yet. I’d guess similar to last run.
Also, it is updated. Beefier frame and blade and revised details.”
I am wondering if anyone could provide more details?

Re: Updated Paysan..?
I'm sure it's a fine integral framelock, but at $644 --for the unsigned version that will be hitting dealer shelves-- it's way out of my budget.
Re: Updated Paysan..?
Are they gonna have some strong detents? I know Taichung is kinda notorious for being weak in that area…

Re: Updated Paysan..?
I’d much rather have a Nirvana.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Re: Updated Paysan..?
Interesting to hear there are some updates. This one is typically out of my budget, but I find Peter Rassenti’s designs and creations pretty fascinating.
rex121 is the king of steel, but nature’s teeth have been cutting for hundreds of millions of years and counting :cool:
Re: Updated Paysan..?
Spyderco website shows Paysan at MSRP $920. Knifecenter pre-order at $644.
Not worth it.

Re: Updated Paysan..?
The Nirvana is a much nicer model.
I bought mine back in 2016 for $432.
I didn't like the Paysan when introduced and didn't buy it. I still wouldn't buy it.
Re: Updated Paysan..?
Beefier frame and blade? Hmmm...interesting
One of the things I think is cool about the Paysan is the (already) beefy blade and fairly slim contoured handle. Talk of any changes has me a little nervous. I'm thrilled with the Paysan as it is. I guess I'll have to see how it's changed before passing any judgment
Hard to capture the comparison between handle and blade in a picture. Definitely a knife you need to hold and feel to appreciate. It's like a beast in skinny jeans
As far as the detent goes. Mine's actually just right (IMO) not too weak and not too strong. I have no concern about it opening when it shouldn't. Yes I can shake the blade out but it takes a pretty good swing to do it. With a blade that heavy they'd have to bury the detent ball in the hole to improve and I bet I could still shake the blade out.

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: Updated Paysan..?
I would be VERY interested in this if it didn’t have the dumb spoon clip on it. Spoon clip is great on a $60 delica or manix/pm3/2 but on a $600+ knife? Pass.
Re: Updated Paysan..?
I was able to order one yesterday from Spyderco, still unclear though on what has changed. Any new information on this?
Re: Updated Paysan..?
These are back in stock at KSF, still at a whopping $644, in case anyone is interested.

Re: Updated Paysan..?
This is the swansong of the paysan.
Work has normally already started on its succesor. ( And it will be to your taste )
And boy oh boy if its anything like the custom i have seen last year it will make the paysan look like the the ugly duck of the family.
I am already saving up for it because it will be a pain in the wallet to buy that is for sure...
Re: Updated Paysan..?
Hmm... first the Slysz Bowie gets a steel lockface and now the Paysan... the Nirvana would be the next logical choice to CQI given it had such huge issues with lockstick.
