There's a hole in my knife...

and a knife in my hole. :D

A little tribute photo to Al Mar.

Before reading the description, I thought it was one of the only models without a hole in the blade.

Great earth tones in that photo!

And kind of matching bolsters between knives, too.

the bolster and wood al mar design is what the sage 4 is mimicking

Ah, I did not know it was directly related to the Sage 4 in inspiration. I thought most Al Mars like that used micarta though, not wood?

They put info about the design on the product page. I didn't know the Sage 4 was discontinued and that it is the only Sage that is discontinued.

Thanks, The lighting on the Sage looks really good, but the Al Mar is a little dark. I couldn't quite get the Al Mar logo and the Spyder logo in perfect focus at the same time because of the low light in the woods.

Spyderco tries to do that with all the sages, like the sage 2 is full titanium to follow a classic crk design :)

Cool, I guess I didn't realize. Good to learn something fresh!
I have seen people refer to the Sage 2 as a Spyderco version of a Sebenza, but I just thought it was out of their opinion only...

The only one I have is a Blue G10 Sage 3. What is that one a tribute to?


Edit: OK I just saw the Spyderco catalog description of the Sage 3 mentioning Blackie Collins.

BTW, The blue Sage 3 is also discontinued, but it was replaced with the carbon fiber version. I haven't heard of a replacement coming for the Sage 4. It really is a great knife, and the wood scales make it unique and beautiful. :spyder:

I would bet they will release something to replace it. It would be weird to be missing a piece of the series

Beautiful shot. BTW I didn't know the Sage4 was inspired in that Al Mar model.
Thanks for sharing.

I don't know if it was inspired by a specific model or just the fine back locks that Al Mar produces in general.
