From the Spyderco Sage info:
"The plan is to offer an ongoing series of Sage Folders with many of the different and ingenious locking devices and mechanisms the knife industry has to offer."
and:
"The Sage Series manifests Spyderco's three decades of pioneering knife crafting and innovating....Each rendition highlights a locking device or mechanism and credits that mechanism's inventor."
I think this is totally consistent with using a lock designed by Spyderco :D

Definitely agree! Can't wait for a Sage compression lock, or one of their new lock designs! :)DougC-3 wrote:From the Spyderco Sage info:

Although titanium handles and frame locks are not among my favorites, I think the Sage2 is about as spare a modern folder as could be created, and for that reason I carried mine exclusively for well over a year. I probably still would, except that my numerous other Spydies beckoned for pocket duty.
For one reason or another, I have not included the Sage series in my current rotation scheme but will continue acquiring Sages. They feature my preferred blade shape, they pay homage to lock designers, and their sale supports Alzheimer's research (my mother is afflicted).
The Sage5 would have a compression lock (my favorite) if the choice was mine.

Haven't bought a knife in a while, but I got to say..a sage 5 with a compression lock would be my grail. Amazing platform + amazing lock? Umm please Sal?
So the Sage seris pays tribute to great locks, Sal, you guys just so happened to have come up with one called the compression lock, so use it on the new sage!!! :D
