The amazing Sage 1 is my dress knife

I see you live in Arizona and aren't there a lot of nasty critters there, you have black bear, bobcats, mountain lions just to name a few, I would not be worried about saving a few ounces but want a robust knife like the Schempp Tuff that can handle just about anything from cutting a walking stick ...

I say Endura FFG. Great knife - period. It's not even that weak of a tip, even with FFG. I love them. Probably going to add a brown one to my rotation soon. If not that, then you should definitely try the Stretch. It's great too, but for an all arounder, I'd pick the extra bit of blade on the Endur...

So I do a a lot of hiking around where I live. Over the past few years I have been searching for the "perfect" hiking knife. Recently my wonderful wife bought me a Gayle Bradley. I love this knife, but it is a little heavy when I am trying to conserve weight. So I think I have narrowed my ...

This thread was a great idea

Last night went to a fancy dinner so I carried the Sage 1. Today went for a hike so I took the Gayle Bradley with me. Gotta love CF

Most of the day the Gayle Bradley. But I did Carry a delica for a little while today

G10 with a compression lock. This would be te perfect knife. Even though the sage 1 is almost perfect

Sliced a pear with my new gayle Bradley

So u received my gift today, a brand new Gayle Bradley. This thing is awesome. I am a very lucky man. Now here is the question. I live in Arizona . Should I coat the blade with tuf glide or do you guys think it will be fine in the desert climate.

Wow that's a great review so far

Sage 1. I originally bought my Sage 1 to be a dress knife, but I have not taken it out of my pocket since the day it arrived.

thanks for all the wonderful suggestions. Keep them coming. I am not the biggest fan of lock backs. I think so far the front runners are the Gayle Bradley, Super leaf, Stretch 2 in ZDP( I knpw I said I dont care for lockbacks but this one appeals to me in s strange way).

Resilience
Delica
Endura

Next month I will be celebrating my one year wedding anniversary with my wife. She has already asked what new knife I would like. I originally asked for a Sage 1 but couldn't wait for my anniversary and bought it a few weeks ago. I am now thinking about a Gayle Bradley. What do you guys think. The p...

For most of the day sage 1but I had to do some chores so out came the resilience. It's a **** if a blade for 42 bucks shipped.

Sage 1 definitely
