Why not? Titanium scaled bolt lock Sage.
I mentioned this in another thread about titanium scaled knives. How about bringing the bolt lock Sage back in titanium this time?

I'd like to see more bolt lock knives; I like it better than its cousin ball bearing lock. But titanium? Eww. Don't like metal handles very much.

I love the smoothness of the bolt lock in both my Sage 3s. I don’t know if I would enjoy one in titanium, as I’ve handled the Sage 2 before and didn’t really like how it felt. I would, however, like to see the Sage 3 get the same FRN treatment as the Sage 5. That would be an instant buy for me.

I'm positive I've seen Sal post that the bolt lock was to expensive and had very low sales. They are not bringing it back.
Sal has also expressed that the very smallest changes in a knife is the same as designing a totally new knife. They're not made from legos.

I'd also prefer a lightweight with a BA lock. Mine are 2 of the smoothest Spydies I own.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

Re: Why not? Titanium scaled bolt lock Sage.
Went back through the Spyderco forum archives and I have to say that amongst the old longtime Spyderco fans, the bolt action lock was very popular. The complaints about the Sage 3 were due to scale choices by the factory. Basically the lock gets killed because the wrong scales were used, twice. Oh well. At least we have an endless parade of PM2s.

Re: Why not? Titanium scaled bolt lock Sage.
Is that really what killed sales? I actually think the cubic check carbon fiber on the Sage 3 is one of the best things about it. I'm glad they reused that pattern on the Dice and Domino too.JRinFL wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 8:31 pmWent back through the Spyderco forum archives and I have to say that amongst the old longtime Spyderco fans, the bolt action lock was very popular.

Re: Why not? Titanium scaled bolt lock Sage.
I've never owned a sage or a bolt action lock knife. However if spyderco was to reintroduce a titanium sage with a bolt action lock, I'd be very interested!

Re: Why not? Titanium scaled bolt lock Sage.
I love titanium and I wanted a Sage 2 for some time (or a CQI one with a palm swell), but this would make me even more happy since I have plenty of RIL knives already and none of these locks.
