You thought the Sage 2 was successful........

[5.56]

Imagine a titanium framelock, Made in Golden, with a 3.25" S30v/S90v blade, and a standard clip(no wire).

A true Spyderbenza



Would you buy one?

[mattman]

just for the sake of getting a "Sebenza" for possibly a few dollars less? I'll save up and get the CRK version if/when I decide I'm interested... (probably soon)

[rororo64]

I voted yes because it would be awesome to see what Sal and Chris Reeve could come up with if they did a collaboration, but if it just ended up being a Sebenza with a hole and the Spyderco logo for a few bucks less than a Sebenza, then I dont think I'd buy it unless it had some super awesome super steel.

[gundude73]

i'd get one.

The CRK version doesn't have a hole. Maybe you like studs though. :o :D

Also the 3.25" length would put it in between the Sm/Lg Sebs, perfect.


I spoke with Chris Reeve in person and he has told me that the Sebenza will never have a "hole"

So it's up to Spyderco now, to make this happen.

[mattman]

ha! good one!

I just think (imho), that the Sage 2 is as close as we are likely to get...

a little disappointing to hear what Mr. Reeve said, as it would seem fitting for him to produce a run with a Spydie hole, in deference to Sal honoring him with the Sage...

[5.56]

The Sage 2 is a great knife.

The wire clip just doesn't seem right on a Ti framelock though.

[mattman]

Well, my Sage 2 is home waiting for me... I'll be checking it out in a couple days. My desire for more Ti might change drastically at that point, as it is my first.

Just curious, what are your reservations about the wire clip?

[gbelleh]

I'm happy with the Sage 2 as it is. I've never had the urge to buy a Sebenza. Ti isn't my favorite handle material anyway.

[5.56]

It's the looks mostly.

The wire clip functions fine, it's just out of place on that knife.

[5.56]

Yikes, well that poll backfired. :o

Oh well, you can't win them all.

:)

[The Mentaculous]

In principle, yes I'd be interested, but as always, it totally depends on the design (ie handle and blade shape, ergonomics, grind, etc) as well as cost.

[Ben_1323]

Heck yeah. My Sage 2 is one of my favorites; just wish it was made in Golden.

[Blerv]

If it was CPM-S90v and Golden made it would be a "SuperBenza".

[avoidspam]

I love the simplicity and quality for the money of the Sage 2 but find the ergo's a bit uncomfortable. I have nearly pulled the trigger in a Sebenza for quite a while but I think the large is too large and the small too small. A collaboration which produced a mid sized Spyderbenza and I'd be there. :)

[neuron]

I'd buy pretty much anything Spyderco put out with S90V -- other than that, I can't say I care much about the other aspects of this hypothetical knife (where it's made, what kind of clip it has, etc.).

[The Mastiff]

I'd buy it if it was over 3.25" and S90V. Shorter and S30V wouldn't make a lot of sense in my case with the Sage 2 here already.

[chuck_roxas45]

I'd buy a sage 2 in S90V no matter where it was made. Of course, with the usual qualifiers about price.

[rwasham]

I like Ti framelocks. As long as it wasn't too similar to the Sage 2, I think it would be pretty cool.

[bh49]

For some reason or without reasons at all (still cannot figure this out) I do not like the shape of the blade on Sage. Frame lock is fine, but prefer midlock, so I will be very happy with my Ti Fluted Native5 :) . I need this baby.
