I'm not a drinking man, but...

[Zatx]

I sure would like a Drunken. Is there any update to when we'll get a chance to purchase this beauty?




Thank you!

[Pelagic]

It will all be "revealed" soon

Reminds me of a more expensive ZT. Looks very thick!

Thank you!

Hopefully this , The Paysan, and the Province will drop in the next 6 weeks! I'm ready.... :D

Beautiful knife, when I see the price, I think of other metallic items.

[Doeswhateveraspidercan]

Great looking knife, just can’t justify the price. Wonder why it is so high?

[Daveho]

Is this not a spydiechef.

That's why they call it the drunken. Most people would need to be quite drunken to pay that price. :D

A camp saver (or similar) coupon might make this more do-able for some people. Something to think about!

It doesn't show up in the photos, but the carbon fiber and the titanium scale have a wavy patern to them, a bit like the fluted cf native. That and a few other details probably up the price tag. This piece isn't really my style, but I bet it looks good in person.

Really digging the design. If this is already uber cool, I wonder what the 'Sober' would look like.

Looking at these images side-by-side, it sure looks like Dimitry Sinkevich very liberally used the Spydiechef as his design "inspiration." It looks like he's taken a knife I love and made it more refined. But, I sure hope Spyderco looked closely at that pocket clip angle and made an adjustment to bring it more in line with the Spydiechef, or the Drunken is going to interfere more with your hand going into your pocket.

I realize people are going to complain about the price, but retail it will be around $350-$400 which puts it in the Sebenza category. This looks like its quality is comparable with that knife and its price point, so it seems reasonable to me from this standpoint. It's about $200 more than the Spydiechef, and the materials and workmanship sure look like they are worth that to me.

[Cscottsss]

I like it, but it resembles a ZT too much IMO and the price.....

I'll pass

As I recall from my I’ll spent youth not nearly as good the next day.

No doubt that there are production details that add to the cost of this knife. I have handled the prototype and it struck me as a slightly refined ZT 0770. I love the fact that Spyderco is continually putting out new models and using steels and materials that many companies won't use. I can't imagine that there will be any kind of demand for this knife from the general knife carrying population. It seems to be aimed at the hardcore collector with deep pockets and I'd guess that it won't be in production long. It will be a great knife to pick up once it hits the discontinued list. :) :spyder:

Agree it reminds me of the Spydiechef allot.

Where I have trouble with the price is I have owned several Sebenzas and to be honest they are no better than a Paramilitary 2 and the PM2 outperforms them hands down.

This being the case in my experience (which I allow is subjective) it is very difficult to justify this price point. It is not a matter of being able to afford it, I do well enough I would not even notice the purchase but justifying that price for a Knife is a bit much for me having done so in the past and being happier with a PM2.

If we want to go purely into the realm of Collecting and Safe Queens then Price is never an object.

As for me the only knives I have that go unused are doing so because I have just not gotten around to doing so yet as I am currently exploring other Spyderco's like the Carribean Salt in my pocket this week. I purchased this one around Christmas time in both SE and PE and I prefer it in PE. I have been thinking of gifting the SE Carribean.

[cabfrank]

Someone will be lucky. I think the SE Carribean is awesome.

I just got my first Caribbean this week! I haven’t started carrying yet because I need to personalize it. I bought it strictly for the blade steel so I’m going to heavily modify the overly large scales. They are great for its intended purpose, don’t get me wrong, but I’ll never use it in an ocean or water setting. I plan on machining down the scales closer to the size of the liners and sanding down the large polished G10 ridges.

[Pelagic]

The large scales of the Caribbean are one of the biggest things drawing me to the model. Most spydies have small handles and it's nice to see something that allows a full, comfortable grip in the palm of the hand.

Thank you!

Looks like the Drunken went live today on the Spyderco website(sold out already) ....and a few online retailers!
