I don't own a Sable but I do have a Shadow III, a Tanto 1, two Green Berets (5.5" &7" blades), two Neil Roberts Warriors (1 to carry & 1 to maybe sell). So you can see that I do like the Chris Reeve knives. Oh, and a MM Classic Sebenza too.
I don't like the round steel handles but I love the handles on the GB's and the NR's If I was to ever try and use my Tanto1 I would put a bike innertube over the sharp round handle, but for some reason the Shadow III fits me to a "T" even with the round handle(what can I say?).
FWIW
