Any show and tell on your SAGE?

[gull wing]

Lets hear from you. I didn't order mine till today, so I know some of you will get yours before I will. I am so looking forward to this one. The photos anyway, look to have a lot of what I like in a small folder. LEAF BLADE, SIMPLE HANDLE, WIDE AT THE P PIN, WIRE CLIP, FLAT GRIND, etc.
I wonder about the "texture" Sal talks about on the CF, got to be a good thing. :D :D
Please post pictures.

Sorry, can't help you. :o

I spent all of my money on the other new models that came out; before I realized that the Sage was out as well. :rolleyes:

[gull wing]

didn't come in yet, i guess!

On first examination, it's a great little knife.

The CF "texture" (I'd call it woven) is cool looking, and has a nice feel in your hand. The fit and finish are excellent. The liner lock is easy to manipulate, and feels solid.

The blade shape has been described as a cross between the Caly 3 and Native. I would agree, and I get the feeling it will work well for a variety of tasks.

Oh my I need one of those

I like that knife. It's a good looking knife. I just am not a huge fan of CF. If it were G10 or wood.......hmmm.

When I saw the original picture, I thought I could pass. Now that I have seen this one, it has changed my mind. I don't know what it was about the first pictures, but these latest pics make it much more tempting.

Thank you for the great shot. Got to love that blade.
Tell me more about the "texture" on the CF.

[catamount]

Tell me more about the "texture" on the CF.

I call it woven because it has the look and feel of being woven out of strips.

3D checkerboard would be another way to describe it.

From Mr Blonde's Amsterdam prototype pics, it looks like the CF Native 4 will have the same texture:

Didn't know it is coming out so quickly, and just place the other thru NGK, I don't want to remember how much I spent on :spyder: in 2008 so far :D

[trout #2]

Regarding the carbon fiber, does it actually have a slight physical checkered texture or is it just a visual effect?

[amen74]

Great knife catamount. I like that deep finger choil.

:spyder: :spyder: :cool: :spyder: :spyder: I'm not really one for liner locks :o , but I love it; It just looks so 'frickin' :cool: :spyder: :D

Where's the drool emoticon?

Is it just me, or does the blade in Catamount's picture scream MINI-MANIX? Makes me all excited for the BB, Comp., and backlock versions.

[amen74]

I do see some resemblance to the Mini Manix in blade shape. It's a very nice folder!

[gull wing]

Oh boy, can't wait.
Mine should be here in day or two :D

Alrighty! My Sage arrived today. I was a little leery of the "made in Taiwan", but my fears were for naught. This knife is built to the standards of my other Spydies. Feels good in the hand and I really like CF.

Nice Carbon Fiber handles
Black wire pocketclip (for those who want be stealthy)
Steel liners
Torx screw construction
Walker Linerlock (mine locks up solid too)
Quality spacers
Blade is tight (no blade wobble in any direction)
Finger choil is jimped to match thumb ramp
Flat ground leaf style blade
Excellent size

Only dislike.... no hole for a lanyard.

If you're on the fence about the Sage, get off! Order yourself one right now, you'll be glad you did. :D
