Yes! Finally the sage in maxamet. Fingers crossed for a sage 5 maxamet. I’ll get two just in case anything happens to number 1. Hope it’s production and not a sprint. That would be such a shame.

I gave my analysis of the new steel here: https://knifesteelnerds.com/2020/01/15/ ... -analysis/

Thank you. That was super fast!

If we would not have Sage 5, then ok, but with Sage 5 being very close to Native....why bother.


I agree. The Sage 5 is almost exactly what he's asking for.


I have to disagree. Just imho the Sage 5 is "better than what he´s asking for" ;)

Even though Spyderco offers a plethora of options in locks scales and steels. Knives are not like Lego blocks. A lock can't be popped out and replaced with another.

Changing the Native from a linerless backlock to a ...

My dream Spyderco is a Sage 5 in Maxamet, M390, Cruwear, or maybe lc200n. I get that the Sage series is about the lock, and s30v is great stuff, but that’s where I’d like to put my $.

My backup, and likely more possible option is a Native 5 with a compression lock. With the popularity of the ...

I’m interested to see what an integral compression lock would feel/function like but I think a button would be a good next lock. To me the strength of the como lock is that it can be used one handed and keep the fingers clear of blade path. I’m trying to imagine how an integral would function ...
