Said I'd leave my Sage 5 stock.... then I got high
Was gonna back up that talk... then I got high.
Now I'm ordering dye and I know why....
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got hi-igh.....
The truth is the light color on this material really opens the door for a top notch dye job but I like what I see right now. More than I thought I would. And I'm really a sucker for these wire clips, as far as I'm concerned it's a perfect match of form and function. So even though there's a Lynch on its way rn and I have a cabinet full of dye this M4 Sage juuuust might end up staying stock after all. Figure I'll play around with it a few days and see what it tells me it wants to do :)

Re: Bladehq Sage 5 in M4 and mint green scales
Mine arrived today. Typical Taichung quality, fit and finish.
My first Sage and I gotta say, it's way better than the Para 3 LW.
Here's a comparison shot between the two showing a slight difference in color of the FRN. I really like the Taichung FRN texture and finished edges.
Outside natural light (overcast)
Cheers

Re: Bladehq Sage 5 in M4 and mint green scales
I bought this for my daughter, however I’m concerned the M4 may be a bit much for her to keep up with (she’s 10).
So two questions:
1) I’ve got a tuff cloth, and frog lube—would either/both these be sufficient to maintain the blade? How often/which would be best?
2) Would a blade swap for the S30V from the CF Sage work? I’ve blade swapped other Spyderco before without issue, but I only have the M4 Sage at the moment so I can’t compare myself.
Thanks!

Well, my daughter may be old enough to get the one I ordered until it gets delivered

Re: Bladehq Sage 5 in M4 and mint green scales
... this time posting in the correct thread. Here we go:
Knife just arrived - took just under 4 weeks to reach Germany. Plus the VAT+Fees were only around 20€ (Blade HQ seems to put a value of $100 on whatever they ship internationally and since recently Germany apparently decided to simplify the process and just use the declared value to calculate VAT + fees).
The knife is really nice, good ergos, nice blade, nice design, size/weight is just right. Including a piece of chewing gum is a nice touch as the whole box has the smell that fits the color :)
I think this knife is going to make a nice present for my better half ... and I get my k390 PM2 back :p

Looks really nice! I'm guessing we'll see a SNK 4V Sage 5 LW at some point that'll look very similar to thatabbazaba wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 10:21 amFrom Reddit:

Hello, friends! Dr. Hypocrite here! I just ordered the black version because this thread was bumped and I forgot how much I wanted one
Re: Bladehq Sage 5 in M4 and mint green scales
When a favorite model in a favorite steel wasn't seeing any carry, I knew something had to change... Double the Pleasure, Double the Fun? Thank you to VotixEDC for the new duds!
Also, isn't it great when all the screws on a knife are exactly the same? And there are only three? Cheers to all the Sebenzas and others that only require one tool!

Re: Bladehq Sage 5 in M4 and mint green scales
Very nice upgrade! And yes to matching screws. At a minimum, larger torx size.

Re: Bladehq Sage 5 in M4 and mint green scales
Great idea! I haven't been carrying my S5LW either and it's probably due to the color. I was going to dye them but still haven't done. Maybe I'll get a set of their micarta scales for itabbazaba wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 11:59 amWhen a favorite model in a favorite steel wasn't seeing any carry, I knew something had to change...

The question is when are we ever going to get exclusive Millie again? I’d like a purple and dlc or od green dlc.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 11:24 amI'd love to know if they ever plan on doing a Millie!!
