Caly 3
Sage 1
Sage 2
More than likely I will get all three over time but only one right now since I am going to purchase a CF Para2.

I have the Sage 1 and the Caly3 VG10/G10. Let's do some (personal) pros and cons;
Sage 1 Pros: linerlock, nice textured CF, great ergonomics.
Cons: S30V, poor polish. (Slippery titanium on Sage2).
Caly 3 Pros: Japan-made Vg10 or ZDP-sandwich, black textured G10, great
polish, deeply engraved spyder, 'engraved Sal-knife'. Great ergo
as well.
Cons: backlock (smooth CF on ZDP-version!)
Obviously I would say Caly 3.

All are well made knives, so there's no "really bad" choice out of the three. It really comes down to deciding what features are most important to you.
The Caly 3 is the thinnest and most compact. IMHO it's alsothe best slicer. I'd rate the Sage I as the best looking and the one which offers the most secure grip. The two Sages tie with each other for high honors in terms of fit and finish and also get points, at least on my scorecard, for their deeper choil. The Sages are also more hand filling, which may be a plus for some, a minus for others. Negatives for the Caly 3 would be the easily scratched 420J2 outer layers on the blade and the smooth matte CF handles.

I absolutely love Caly. EDC them for five years. If you do not have legal restrictions I would go for Caly3.5. Almost the same size and weight as Caly3, but 1/2" longer blade. Otherwise Caly3.
