Sage2, Titanium Handle, Plain .
Second up in the Sage Series is the titanium Sage. The
Sage Series manifests Spyderco’s three decades of pioneering knife
crafting and innovating. The series reprocesses a similar shaped and
sized folder, releasing a new version annually. Each rendition
highlights a locking device or mechanism and credits that mechanism’s
inventor.
The first Sage recognized knifemaker Michael Walker’s creation of the
LinerLock® with a ball bearing detent method of keeping a folding knife
closed. Sage number two focuses on knifemaking prime mover Chris Reeve’s
embellishment of that original Walker LinerLock by his morphing it into
his R.I.L. - Reeve Integral Lock. This modification uses the handle
scale as the lock’s liner.
With the back portion of the handle doubling as both handle spring and
lock, the need for internal liners is dispensed with and the knife can
be manufactured lighter and slimmer while staying strong. The
Spear-point shaped CPM-S30V is flat-ground and coalescence of Spyderco’s
Caly3 and Native Models in shape and function. The handle is all screw
constructed titanium. Inside are phosphor bronze washers for smooth
open/close. Silhouette wire clip snugs down deeply in a pocket and
adjusts for left/right-hand carry. Jimping covering the spine and finger
choil stop slips and glides.
