Sage 1 and SAK pioneer Alox. Already did the world trips and they were my go to blades

don't believe the Sages were ever copied, but could be wrong...

wow, many thanks to everyone. Makes a great deal of sense now. Cheers.

Thank-you. what you said makes sense. So if HO is Aug. 15 is there any indication as to year?

Just picked up a new Sage 1 and was curious what the lettering system is. My box says the standards C123CFP, but under the sage designation is the letters HO. I've seen some boxes with FI and was curious as to their meaning. Anyone know?

very nice gesture and much appreciated. 1968 please...

Sage 1, had one then sold it, and kicked my own *** repeatedly. So, bought a new one and should be here wednesday...

Welcome and agree. The sage line is an instant classic.

HUZZAH, a great post for a great team. I was involved in the printing and media world long enough to know photographing, editing and the layouts in producing those catalogues on that stock and then mailing them is a serious undertaking. Brilliant.

oh, and should I then delete

thank-you didn't know. Knew there was no sales thread, but how does one do a general inquiry?

didn't realize so sorry to the group, please disregard my first post and seems to be no way to delete post.mmm.

Hated the wire clip until I owned one. Sage 2. Now I have a hard time going back. Sage 1. So, it is with great humiliation that I say, I was utterly wrong.

just needs time and use, you'll love it...

when young you kinda carry the attitude "I'm right. You're wrong." when you get older you adopt a much much softer approach and encourage, not discourage. Barring that, age lets you adopt the philosophy "meh," and go about your business...

Hi Johnnie,
Had an airline here called Wardair and they did just that. You surrendered your knife and they gave it back to you upon arrival. That was in the early '80s, a much more civilized and "common sense" time...

I do get what Sal is talking about and in retrospect I must agree. Keeping the forum friendly and open is a nice course of action....

No worries, just thought to ask... many thanks

not sure on forum rules, but just curious if there's a buyer/sellers thread?

I've had my Opinel 9 for the better part of 35 years. Served me well, until I honourably, retired her. It now resides in my box of treasures, but take it out on occasion to admire its simplicity.
