Just got it. Love everything about it! Little nick on part of the liner but I'm an adult so I don't care. The only thing so far I can complain about is the smoothness. It can be flicked open but it has some consistent resistance while slowly opening/closing. Is this normal? My delica isn't like that (other than the lockbar) and the lockbar of the sage can be moved to the side and it still offers resistance closing

I can only speak for my own, which is the proberbial "buttery smooth" when opening.

Loosen the pivot, put in some oil, tighten up to suit. If it's too loose the blade gets pushed off-center by the liner so I keep mine tightened up a bit but still loose enough to be smooth. If you find your pivot loosening over time use a small amount of blue Loctite on the screw threads.

Congrats! Best knife ever.
I don't think you have a problem. Use it a while. Then to test if you have the just right tension on the pivot, hold the lock lug down so it doesn't contact the blade tang, and rotate the blade, it should have just a tiny bit of drag(no flopping blade).
Happy Sages to you. :)

Indeed, mine as well.

The Sage 1 i had was second in pivot smoothness only to the Manix 2 i had. Those two knives were like heaven to open.

I did what computernut said and it helped! The screw stripped a little but I filed the sharp part down with a sharpmaker rod. Hope they'll give me a replacement screw when I go to the sfo. I love this sage :) now I think the 2 is next on my list! Perfect knife! No complaints at all! Just perfect!
