Is the Drunken worth it?
I have a chance to purchase a new Drunken for a great price. I already have the Paysan and was wondering if this model is different enough to warrant a purchase? I’ll probably keep it more for the collection vs heavy use. Just wanted to get some thoughts first.
Re: Is the Drunken worth it?
I think it is plenty different enough from the Paysan to justify buying, in my opinion.
The Drunken feels so light and nimble in hand that it’s a completely different experience from the Paysan. They’re both works of art but the detail and precision on the Drunken is outstanding.
I’d say go for it.

That knife is expensive enough only you can answer if it’s worth it to you.
From a value point of view I highly doubt you will be able to get your money out of it on a long enough timeline.

If you're saying it's a "great price," it sounds like you've already decided it's worth it!
In my opinion, It's fairly unique in the Spyderco lineup as a whole, let alone in comparison to the Paysan.
It's on my short list of future Spyderco purchases. I haven't decided to actually seek one out, but next time I see one at a good price I'm definitely gonna buy it.

Re: Is the Drunken worth it?
Thanks guys. I grabbed it for $350 shipped in like new condition.
Re: Is the Drunken worth it?
Get it! I love mine, I just wish it was all Ti with the same texturing.
Re: Is the Drunken worth it?
The clip is hard to use with thick pants pockets, but other than that, the Drunken is a fine knife.
Re: Is the Drunken worth it?
I really don’t see an issue with the clip I just bent it out a little. Same thing I do with my pm2’s. It’s a wonderful knife beautiful and the quality is amazing. Same size and weight of a pm2.

Re: Is the Drunken worth it?
The Drunken is a great knife but the clip is bad. I wished it would have come with the standard spoon clip like the Paysan which I love. Casey Lynch should be dropping his clip for the Drunken any day now, which is going to make a lot of people wish they picked one up before they were discontinued. The knife itself is simply amazing other than the clip.

I’m curious, what is it about the Drunken clip that you personally don’t like?

Re: Is the Drunken worth it?
It is a premium one that is different. If you are impress with the Paysan, the Drunken will do the same especially if you got a great price. The milling is something to admire. The sheepfoot blade is very versatile as well. The clip is the downside, catches and nicks stuff. Scratches the anodizing off too.
Re: Is the Drunken worth it?
Nice blade shape.

My bad, I thought it was discontinued, but that’s great news for those on the fence. I have to say the action on the Drunken is the best of any Spyderco I own!
The clip just sucks, I guess you can say it’s flimsy and almost impossible to get onto any pocket. I think it comes down to the ramp, it’s too shallow and sharp to properly glide onto the pocket. I thought the A Purvis clip would work better but it shifts way too much. I’m really hoping Casey nails the clip he is coming out with.

To me?
**** no.
I can get 4 Pacific Salts and a 12 pack for less than the price of a single Drunken.
BUT, maybe you value the design characteristics of the Drunken enough to pay $550 for one. If so, more power to you.
Wouldn't be the knife I'd spend my money on, but everyone is different.
