Convince me on the Sage 2

Hopefully I don't get too much gruff here. I've owned a Sage 2 and it's a great knife. But, a small sebbie replaced it. I say you go ahead and grab a small seb if you've been running thru knives. One downside to the sage 2 (at least for me) is that I felt it carried "bigger" than it was/should have. Because of the leaf shape and the spydie hole it really kinda felt bigger in my pocket than I liked, and especially for the blade length.

I actually went in the other direction. I bought a small Sebenza and was really underwhelmed, particularly for the money. Ergonomically I found it kind of awkward, and I vastly prefer the Spydie hole to the slick thumb stud on the Sebenza. To me the Sage is simply a better design for the human hand, even if it isn't as pretty, and I would prefer it even if the Sebenza cost the same, which obviously is not the case. Different strokes . . .

I too had the same choices. I bought a carbon fiber small sebenza. Should get it this week.

How much pocket wear does the titanium show on a EDC sage 2?

I love the wire clip, it is by far my favorite clip design, but it does have a bit of side-to-side play and thus leaves two small horizontal scratches on the Ti. I was going to try to attach a picture, but do not have one that shows it yet. The thing is the clip kind of covers the scratches, and I have no problem with it at all. It just shows the knife to be a user in my opinion. I have a few other small scratches, but the Ti does not show scratches too badly. As far as pocket wear, I am not positive what you mean by that which is why I addressed scratches, so hope this helps.
 
You can't go wrong with a Sage 2. It's my go to EDC along with my trusty delica. now that you have purchased one, is it going to make the cut? Cheers.

One of the best 3' folders out there IMO.

I carry it often, along with a Strider or large Sebbie which are also ti frame-locks, and the sage 2 is by far the smoothest to unlock.
 
just ordered my first spyderco.
i have never liked the looks of them but all the write ups have me thinking maybe i will like it once i hold one.

i ordered a chaparral since i like the weight and the carbon fiber.
