The sixth installment in Spyderco’s unique Sage Series, the Sage 6 showcases the Button-Release Compression Lock pioneered by custom knifemaker Kevin Smock. A novel variation of the Sal Glesser-designed Compression Lock mechanism, it not only makes closing the knife simpler and easier, but also establishes the Sage 6 one of our most “fidget-friendly” models. This elite Sprint Run expression of the design supercharges it with a full-flat-ground blade crafted from CPM S90V particle metallurgy stainless steel and solid carbon fiber scales. The enhanced, vanadium-rich blade steel offers a superior blend of edge retention and corrosion resistance, while the peel-ply-textured scales balance stunning aesthetics and a non-slip texture. Like all Sage models, this limited-edition knife features a reversible deep-pocket wire clip for discreet tip-up carry on either side of the body.
