I would say either the lock faces are out of spec by just a little bit or the ceramic ball is a little too large. That will make the blade sit proud and/or have early lockup that can fail. I ran into that problem putting a LW BDN1 blade in a S30V G10 model. Are you sure you’re using the original LW ...

Sal I drive a salt water truck in the oilfield. I carry a Manix 2 currently with aluminum aftermarket scales on it. I love the Manix 2 and the Sage series but my ideal trucking knife in this environment would be a titanium frame lock version of the Gayle Bradley 2 in Magna-cut. Make the blade a ...

Ordered mine yesterday. I have the REC version in 204P but I prefer this un-coated version of it better plus the green on this is nicer I think.

Sage 2 in MagnaCut and Cruwear please or better yet maybe reintroduce the Domino in those steels.

My top 5 folding knife steels. My fixed blade knives are all primarily 1095, 1095CV and O1.

Folding knives steel by most abundant in my collection.
1-S30V
2-CTS-XHP
3-CPM-M4
4-M390
5-20CV

Funny thing is, S35VN is about my favorite stainless and I only have three knives in it.

I love my GB2, I just wish someone would do an exclusive in a stainless steel like M390 or 20CV and black smooth g10 or canvas micarta.

Native5 CPM-M4 Satin Blade Mint FRN C41PJGR5 BladeHQ (USA) will be available on Friday, December 3, 2021 at 10:00am MT for $119.00.

There's a DLC coated M4 Sage 5 Lightweight in their "Coming Soon" section as ...

I can not believe that these are still in stock. I just couldn’t resist and ordered another one tonight to have as a backup. Takes away the nervousness of potentially damaging one and not being able to replace it. If you’re on the fence don’t hesitate to get one. The Sage 5 is in my top 3 Spyderco ...

Got mine in today and like it. In fact I like it so much I ordered another one tonight. Can’t believe they are still in stock but glad they are. I’ve noticed the Para 3 LW releases stay in stock longer. Nice that it’s not a feeding frenzy the first two minutes and half the people that want one ...

I was amazed that I was still able to snag one @ 7:30 last night. Either it was a big order or not very popular. Either way I’m happy I got one.

Looks like they are in stock @ Knifeworks if anyone's interested:

Yep, called to make sure yesterday and they said they would start shipping Friday. Ordered one straight away. One ...

I don’t buy knives from Amazon, I buy from dealers or individuals on Bladeforums. Since MAP pricing is the same across the board I do spread my purchases out among the online dealers to help support them all. But for everything else I buy I do price shop between Amazon and other brick and mortar ...

I like the wire clip, that’s what drew me to the Sage series in the first place and it fits real nice in the hand. I have three knives that are my favorite, the Sage models, Para 3 (with Lynch deep carry) and the Benchmade 940. Hoping for a Sage 5 LW in 52100 and K390 in the future as well.

OK, random question a buddy just asked me and I’d like to get your opinions on it:

Can you swap the Maxamet Sage 1 blade into a Ti Sage 2?

There’s obviously never been a need to do so before with both models being the same steel, but now there’s a Maxamet Sage 1, it may open up that possibility ...

I missed out on a black g10 PM 2 in s30v by trying to get it and PM 2 in maxamet in my cart at the same time. I did get the maxamet though on the second go around. Really wish I’d got the s30v too though. I’ve decided to wait and catch a used one on the forums or even eBay as long as it’s not a 2nds ...

Got my Para 3 in maxamet in today. Blade centering was way off to the show side but I managed to get it pretty close to centered. The blade centering picture is after I tweaked it.

Looks really good. How did you tweak it into position?



I loosened the ...

Got my Para 3 in maxamet in today. Blade centering was way off to the show side but I managed to get it pretty close to centered. The blade centering picture is after I tweaked it. The other two flaws I found was a small mark on the show side of the scales and another on the side of the lock side ...

Snagged a Para 2 maxamet today to go with the Para 3 maxamet I snagged yesterday. Mixed out on the Native 5 in maxamet though but oh well. Really excited to get these.

Sage 1 in Maxamet.

Just ordered mine from Northwestknives. I’m glad it was offered in the Sage line as it’s my favorite and I just wasn’t going to buy a knife I don’t like just to try the maxamet out. Really looking forward to trying it out and seeing for myself if it lives up to the hype.
