Question about Sage 6 Sprint Run S90V

#1

Post by TomahawkT10 »

Hi,

It’s not clear online whether this version comes with solid carbon fiber handles or peel ply G10 / Carbon Fiber handles?

See this listing as an example. Says Peel Ply in the heading but “solid carbon fiber” in the description. It’s the same discrepancy on many other websites.

The sprint run Sage 6 uses solid carbon fiber scales. The term "Peel Ply" is in reference to the texture left on the surface of the scales.

The listing or description will explicitly state "Carbon Fiber/G10 Laminate" if that is what the knife is using.

Using the regular production Sage 6 as an example -

"...Its satin-finished blade is full-flat ground from CPM S30V stainless steel and paired with an easy-to-clean, open-backed handle featuring nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners and peel-ply-textured carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales."

Thanx Mushroom.

Hey Tomahawk.

The S90 version will be solid carbon with peel ply and the regular Sage version will be the laminate.

Thank y'all for sharing...because it's useful to learn the difference between the "solid carbon fiber" scales and the "carbon fiber/G-10 laminate" scales with the peel-ply-texture.
Necromonger: What do you think of this blade?
Riddick: I think it is a half gram heavy on the back end.
