My first Spyderco - Sage 1
Hey guys and gals, I've officially been indoctrinated into the cult of Spyderco with the purchase of a Sage 1. After days of research and reading reviews and considering my options, I settled on the Sage 1 as being a great blend of ergonomics, beautiful materials, great steel and stellar fit and finish. Unfortunately, no one told me that Spydercos are like fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies and it's simply impossible to have just one. So, less than a week later, I'm already jonesing to add to the collection. I think I see how this becomes a problem :D
So, I like photography a lot, so first thing I did was go outside to shoot some photos and I figured this is the place to put them if anywhere. Hope you enjoy!

Excellent choice for your first one. If a person could only have one Spydie, I'd nominate the Sage 1.
I see you're also into the macro photography thing. I've posted a bunch of macro shots of Spydies over the past few years here on the forum. Fun stuff!
You are right... you can't have just one. Over the past 3 years, I've accumulated about 50 of them. My first was the Calypso 3 (carbon fiber). It's a beaut!

Nikon D7100 and I used a 35mm 1.8 and a 105mm 2.8 macro for those shots._shlee_ wrote:REVIVE! Great shots what are you shooting with? Lens/Body
Love it and a total gateway to a new habit. So far, probably the best execution of a liner lock I've personally seen.Nice. Now that a few months have passed, how are you liking your Sage-1? It's probably going to be my next purchase. I just got a Chaparral.
Yeah, I've purchased a Paramilitary 2 and a Southard and received a Manbug as a gift. All amazing!Wow great pictures... and for sure a very good fist one... did your already plan to get another one? llooll
Nice choice, great pics May the force be with you!
Thanks!I missed this the first time around. Great macro shots.

I continue to come back to your pictures of this. I'm so friggin' close to pulling the trigger on a Sage-1, I can't stand it. I just don't know if it will be redundant, considering I already own a Chaparral.
