Need Help Choosing

[dl1340]

have a black g-10 s30v pm2 as the first spyderco I purchased. Followed that up with a Spyderco Domino C172CFBLTIP, CTS XHP Steel, Titanium Frame & Blue Weave Carbon Fiber Handle. I ordered a manix2 Light weight but didn't like the handles. I have found a Spyderco Sage Knife Carbon Fiber Handle S30V and also found a Manix 2 black g-10 handles with cpm-s30v. Anybody have both and can tell me which one you like better. Don't think I can go wrong with either one

Both those knives are great sage 1 probably is one of my favourite knives. If you're going to go with a manix try to find a sprint so you get the benefit of the skeletonized liners. Saves about an ounce of weight. 4 oz as opposed to 5 oz. if that's a big deal for you. The sage is more sheeple friendly if thay is a concern.

Between those two, I'd take the Sage. But it depends on what you want and like in a knife. I find the Sage easier to carry, and the liner lock more comfortable to use in general than the caged ball bearing.

Those are pretty different knives. I find the G10 manix to be too heavy. The Sage 1 is a very nice knife especially if you like CF handles.

For an amalgam of the benefits of both of those knives I highly recommend the Sage 3. It's a bit more refined than the blue-collar manix, the F&F are amazing, and the bolt action lock is a joy to use. But you are correct, you can't go wrong with either.

Hi dl1340!

I have found a Spyderco Sage Knife Carbon Fiber Handle S30V and also found a Manix 2 black g-10 handles with cpm-s30v

Both are very high quality, awesome F&F, outstanding blades.

Both are way different.

What do you want it for? :rolleyes:

- EDC wise: Sage 1.

- Hard Work blade: Manix 2.

+1. Took the words right out of my mouth.

Isn't the Manix close to your Domino in size? I'd definitely go with some variation of the Sage, if only for variety! (Don't get me wrong: I love my Manix 2 sprint...)

[Evil D]

The Manix is just a wee bit larger than the Domino, pretty much in every way. If you like the Sage, I would absolutely recommend the Sage 3 with the bolt lock, it's a superb knife and would make an excellent EDC.

pulled the trigger on Sage 1, should be here early next week

Imo, the Sage is something you need to own. Incredible F&F.

But can I add, try a Delica. Myself and numerous others tend to go back to the Delica, even after owning more "higher-priced" or more "upper-class" Spydercos.
