Spyderco Sage 5 Folding Knife C123CFPCL

Spyderco Sage 5 Folding Knife C123CFPCL

The Spyderco Sage series is a family of knives that showcases innovative locking mechanisms that helped define modern folding knife technology. The newest addition to this unique series is the Sage 5, which highlights Spyderco’s own patented Compression Lock mechanism. This groundbreaking lock uses a split liner in one of the handle scales to engage an upward-facing ramp on the blade tang. There, the liner is compressed between the tang ramp and the stop pin. In addition to being substantially stronger than a standard liner lock mechanism, the Compression Lock also allows the knife to be safely closed with one hand without placing your fingers in the blade’s path.

The Compression Lock, housed in a stunning peel-ply-textured handle made from carbon fiber/G10 laminate scales, is paired with a full-flat-ground leaf-shaped blade crafted from premium CPM S30V stainless steel produced by particle metallurgy. The PlainEdge blade features Spyderco’s trademark round hole for fast, positive one-handed opening with either hand. In the same spirit, the Sage 5’s handle includes an ambidextrous deep-pocket wire clip that allows discreet left- or right-side carry.

Spyderco donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each Sage Series knife to the Alzheimer’s Association, Colorado Chapter. This association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.
