Blown Away - Sage 5 LW

[abbazaba]

Love the Sages! 5LW with the bushing pivot is definitely the best yet by many accounts. Happy to see the Sage1 back to life in Maxament. Really hoping for a Sage2 in K390 (CRK ceramic interface CQI maybe please :D ), as well as a fabled 5LW in something interesting (10v?, 15v?). Sage 6 Button Lock FTW.

In other words: completely different.

Hey Mikey!!! He likes it!!!!

And a thumb ramp. They are surprisingly different in hand and in use, considering the similarities.

Also the clip.

Not really for me...

The big plus of the Native is the particularly great backlock (though the Sage is one of the knives where I like a comp.lock)

But the Sage gives you an a bit longer handle (which makes a difference in this particular size range), and around 10% more cutting edge, which makes a difference too (this is about like the increase in cutting edge from Para 3/ Sage 5 to Manix 2 LW. Relatively seen even more)

Ok, those are some good data points. I guess I'll have to try one eventually. :-)
