Thank you for taking the time to document your modification of the clip. Unfortunately, it doesn't change the thickness of the material, its sharp edges, or its uncomfortable upswept tip.

Curious what happened with the lock bar issue? Never saw a definitive reply, Perhaps Sal put the brakes on production to straighten something out?

Still waiting for an answer because everyone was busy with Shot show...

As a lefty this knife is useless to me since it can’t be carried left hand but to me the simple solution has already been mentioned. Take the clip off, bend it a little and good to go. I bend all my clips for stronger retention as it is. Also I usually bend down the ramp a little so it doesn’t catc...

I couldn't just put this issue away, so I've been trying a couple of different options in an attempt to offer solutions rather than just complaints. Here is an elegant change to eliminate the pocket catching, and it doesn't require a redesign of the clip: https://i.imgur.com/nfVVz1u.jpg If you move ...

It's supposed to have a style, to look 100% nice That's why they chose these high end materials and the drunken pattern and all that milling that went into it that ultimately costs money But I think that custom clips on expensive pieces it's a step in the right direction If you keep on crying about...

This had better be an error. I sure hope Spyderco isn't thinking the Drunken is the successor to the Chef...

When I handled the prototype at the Spyderco Meet in 2018 and the production sample last month I have written down just this issue with the pocket clip on the feedback cards they had. I really hoped they had looked at it and make the changes that where necessary. CQI it and you will have a awesome ...

A couple of other findings: The stop pin is corroded and looks old or used. Also, as I was holding the knife I heard something rattling; it turns out all of the scale screws were loose with one nearly falling out. I've never seen such low quality coming out of the Taichung factory. Not to add insult...

I applaud you taking the high road with your reply to what appears to be a condescending question.

It took all of my self-control not to respond to that incredibly juvenile question.

Helpful review, thank you. But just to clarify... you're going to return a knife that a bird pooped on when you were using it?!?

Well the warranty states that it is for materials and workmanship and bird poop isn't either of those (plus I cleaned it off already). :)

I received my new Drunken today and thought I would post my first impressions of it since this model is so new and there aren't even Youtube reviews up. I purchased the Drunken because the Spydiechief is one of my all-time favorite designs and I thought it would be my upscale, high-end version of it...

Do we think this one is going to follow in the Kapara / Smock model and be tough to catch on initial release? I'm getting that feeling and agree it's a great thing long term for the models and potential sprints if a bit trying for my patience aka my worst virtue... I really wish Spyderco would ramp...

Where is this and is that church still in use? If so, I know where I want to be transferred!

Dinner or for sale? Hey Woodpuppy, mostly Dinner. If there is extra I usually throw it back but sometimes keep a couple for the workers at my condo and the neighbors. I rarely freeze fish but I had to make an exception with some of the Snapper this time. The tuna became sashimi and Poke and the Sna...

I really hope someone comes out with aftermarket Caribbean scales.

The sheath really is part of the magic with this knife, I've never seen one more perfectly executed!

Hey Zatx, I sent you this message via pm before I saw this thread but I thought I’d post it here too. Hey bud, that’s a question to which I’ve given much consideration. I have lost a couple of knives on the kayak and my first solution was to lanyard them to the kayak. I quickly stopped doing that a...

I'm looking for recommendations for a lanyard to be used on the new Waterway. I need a way to provide retention so the knife can't be lost to the bottom of a lake when your leaning over the side of the boat to make cuts. What do you recommend? Thanks! (BTW, I'm looking for options that I can purchas...

So I just wanted to share that I picked up my Waterway today from UPS, and got to handle it for a few moments, but here's the thing... my Waterway wasn't my Waterway. I bought this knife for a coworker and friend after searching for just the right knife for him for the last eight or nine years. He's...

Beautiful! Can I send mine to you for the same treatment?!
