I have both and to be honest, I can't pic which one I like better...it kinda depends on what mood I'm in as far as which one I decide to carry. I had the Sage 3 and wasn't crazy about it, so it got traded. Sorry I'm no help

I love my Sage 1. It's a great EDC knife. The ergos are excellent, and the textured carbon fiber feels great and looks good, too. I am a little wary about purchasing a Sage 2 because of all of the reports of how easily the titanium scales scratch and issues with the wire pocket clip. You cannot go wrong with the Sage 1!

The 1 and 2 are my favorites of the Sage series. I traded my Sage 2 in a trade I couldn't pass up, and had planned to just pick up another. A slightly used Sage 1 popped up on the BF exchange, so I snagged it at a great price.
I like them about the same, and maybe liked the Sage 2 a little more. Both great, and i would say if money has nothing to do with it get the Sage 2. If you want to save a few bucks get the Sage 1.

I like the Sage series very much. Of those 2, I would recommend the Sage 2. The titanium is very nice in the hand, and the frame lock seems sturdier than the Sage 1's liner lock. But my favorite of the series, so far, is the Sage 4.
My Sage preference - 4, 2, 3, 1. IMO, you really can't go wrong with any of them.

All four versions display excellent fit and finish and the blades and ergos are virtually identical. Between the Sage I and the Sage II my personal favorite is the Sage I but, as has been noted, you can't go wrong with either one.
