Sage 3 Confusion

#1

Post by DevilDog1833 »

The catalog says blade length on the Sage 3 is 2-13/16", while the website says its 3". Which one is tellin' the truth?

The first is the cutting edge. The total blade length is 3".
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

Website is correct and there's an error in the paper/PDF catalog. All three blades are with a hair of being the same length. Sage 3 has a bit more edge length than the other two, because less of the choil is on the blade and more on the handle.

Thanks, Deacon. I guess I'll have to keep waiting for that Chaparral you got me all excited about.
