The Spyderco Sage 5 Salt brings fearlessly corrosion-resistant performance to one of the industry's most celebrated everyday carry designs. Engineered for hard use in and around the water, its full-flat-ground blade is crafted from revolutionary CPM® MagnaCut® steel—a cutting-edge material that defies conventional metallurgy to offer an unparalleled balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme rust resistance. This elite blade is housed in a low-maintenance, open-backed handle featuring nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners and Spyderco’s rock-solid Compression Lock® mechanism. Finished with a reversible deep-pocket wire clip and a generous lanyard hole, it ensures versatile, secure carry on any excursion.

Tailored for tactical applications and environments requiring strict light discipline, this all-black variant cloaks its blade in a non-reflective titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating. The covert aesthetic extends seamlessly to the black-coated pocket clip, liners, and handle hardware for a completely blacked-out look. To guarantee a slip-free hold in the slickest conditions, the black G-10 handle scales feature a hybrid peel-ply finish layered with a meticulously machined Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern. The result is an ultra-secure, high-traction grip that gives you absolute control, no matter what the elements throw your way.
