Features

  • SAGE: A unique family of knives that showcases the innovative lock mechanisms that have helped define modern folding knife technology. Every knife features the same basic design parameters a full-flat-ground, leaf-shaped CPM S30V blade.
  • Full-Flat Grind: This knife features a blade ground with flat bevels that extend from the spine all the way to the cutting edge. This grind reduces drag during cutting and decreases overall weight.
  • FRN Handle: Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon is a polymer mixed with glass fiber then injection molded into formed and textured lightweight high-strength knife handles.
  • SLIPIT: A non-locking system that combines the convenience of clip carry and one-hand opening with a socially friendly notch-joint mechanism that helps hold the blade safely open during use, but does not mechanically lock it.
  • Specifications: Weight (oz): 2.9, Overall Length (Inches): 7.13, Blade Length (Inches): 3, Blade Steel: CPM S30V, Grind: Full-Flat

  • My ultimate EDC knife
Style: Carbon Fiber
This knife is my ultimate Every Day Carry knife. It's not too big or too small. It fits in my pocket well whether I wear jeans, slacks or scrubs (which I wear every day for work). The clip can be moved from side to side so it can be carried "tip up" by right or left handers. It arrives very sharp and is flat ground. The S30V steel is awesome. I have several others made with the steel, so I'm a big fan. The scales are made of light-weight carbon fiber laying over some kind of synthetic material. There is a slight texture that helps with grip. The blade is deep and thick at the spine. The pivot point has washers and responds well to a quality knife oil. This, combined with the big circle cut-out on the blade make flipping it open a breeze. And when you're ready to close it, just press the back liner-lock and the blade will swing closed without any effort. Whenever I review a product I really like, I always say something like "if I lost it, I would buy it again". And in this case, it's the truth. This is my second one of this exact model. I lost the first one, waited a couple months, then just had to order a second one. The price of this knife is admittedly high, but for me, it's the best EDC knife I could want. So I'll pay it. Twice. ... show more

  • The Sage 5 LW is a Delica 4 & Para 3 LW Killer
Style: Lightweight
This is a fantastic knife. Did a lot of research before this purchase. Was seriously considering a KnifeJoy Delica in 20cv, a Chaparral LW, a Para 3 LW or this. Very glad I went with this. I like the compression lock of the Sage 5 over the Delica and I like the S30v and leaf shaped blade over the Para 3 Lightweight. To me the Para 3 is plain ugly... I like the size of the Sage 5 over the Chaparral, I had a feeling that the Chaparral would be a little too small. This is a small/medium knife while still being large enough for a full finger grip with the choil and without. The FRN is very solid feeling and grippy. This knife really disappears in the pocket too. Perfect centering and drop shut action. Overall, VERY happy with my purchase. At $120 you get a very premium product. ... show more

  • Perfect
Style: Carbon Fiber
I don't get too excited about Spydercos. I have an Endura and a Delica. I have handled the Para 3 and a number of others. They're all great knives, but kind of the same. I wanted a compression lock version and settled on this one. It's a little different than most with the leaf shape blade, which I like. I expected to like it, but once I got it, I truly loved it. It's the perfect EDC size, with a pocket presence identical to the Delica, but with deeper ride, a more substantial feel and more robust, but not too thick, blade. It glides open and closed easily. It whispers through heavy cardboard, packaging, fruit and rope. The texture of the handles is...well, you just have to feel it. It's great. This standard version is now discontinued in favor of the lightweight version, so don't hesitate to get this while you can. ... show more

  • High-class EDC
Style: Carbon Fiber
Awesome knife. Looks elegant, fits the role as gentleman's carry. Opens smoothly, whether by rotating your thumb in the spydie hole, flicking it out with your thumb tip, or doing the spydie flick with your middle finger. With the compression lock depressed, the blade swings closed (and the compression lock rocks! No fingers in the path of the blade, true one-handed open and close. Does take a bit of getting used to, though.) Great blade steel, with no horizontal or vertical play and a nice, tight detent when closed. Carries deep in your pocket. Feels good in the hand, both in terms of ergonomics (the choil on the blade makes for a full handed grip despite the relatively small size) and grip (the carbon fiber layer both looks good and gives good traction). My only complaint: there is no ramp on the tang for the ball detent when closing the knife. This means that if you do not push the lock all the way in when closing, the knife can get caught in an almost-open position when the ball hits the tang. It can be easily remedied by pushing the lock harder, and it's the only hiccup in what is otherwise a flawless knife. ... show more

  • Great Knife!!!!
Style: Lightweight
I own the PM2 and the Dragonfly. The PM2 is a little heavy to wear everyday in Arizona with lightweight shorts and I love the dragonfly blade shape, but sometimes you want a little bigger knife. The Sage 5 is a great blend of both knives. It has the compression lock and action from the PM2 with a similar blade shape with the dragonfly which is great for edc. It also has a very comfortable grip. The sage 5 is made really well with great quality material and the action is awesome. The seller shipped really fast and the knife was packed great so nothing would happen to the knife or packaging. I would definitely buy from again. ... show more

  • Excellent EDC in the office or outdoors.
Style: Lightweight
This is such an awesome knife. I’ve had it for about 6 months now and have used it mostly for opening boxes around my office. I love it for a couple of reasons. The main reason is because it’s discrete. The wire pocket clip doesn’t scream “I HAVE A KNIFE” Which is nice. I can carry a knife at work but I don’t like flaunting it around. It’s also super quiet when you open/close it. The action is amazing and it has zero blade play. I also love the grip and look of the scales. The CPM S30V steel is also premium blade steel and it holds up to the claims. It’s still razor sharp after daily use. There’s a reason this knife is bought out so quickly, and I’m surprised they haven’t increased the price yet. I just wish it was more customizable like the Para 2 and Para 3 as far as back spacers, clips, screws, and scales. Over all this knife is a 10/10 and I highly recommend buying it. ... show more
