Well, I've tried a few Spydercos lately, including the D2 Para, which I really liked, although the Captain's still my favorite. However, I did get a Sage & I'm impressed. I know it's been written, but I wouldn't have known it's made in Taiwan if it wasn't stamped on the blade, it's that good.

I liked the Caly3, but it was missing something. I couldn't figure what it was, but it just wasn't quite "it." Well, I got the Sage & I'm in love. How can one complain about a leaf shaped flat ground S30V blade? While not as thick as the Captain's, the SS liners are thick enough & the carbon fiber scales have a very deep pattern. To top it off, it has the low-riding wire clip. I really do wish Spyderco would put that wire clip on more knives.

A little off topic, but I had tried out a friend's D2 Para for a bit & that was a very nice knife. I also just got a Calypso Jr. ZDP & hope to test it out & run it through its paces to see if ZDP-189 laminate is really "that" good. We shall see :D
 
my second CF Sage is on its way but, more important, I'm dying to get my hands on the Ti frame lock Sage II !!! :thumbup:
hope Spyderco releases it this year (around Christmas maybe...?!?)
 
I agree 100% the Sage is a great knife! At the moment(I have a short attention span:D) it's my favorite knife. At work I EDC my Para-Military, but the rest of the time I carry the Sage. The Sage isn't kicking my Caly out of the house though. It still fits a niche because it is a little smaller and thinner for those times I don't need a larger knife at my side. Plus I do like VG-10:D
I'm really locking forward to the framelock (my favorite lockstyle) Sage as well. Hopefully it comes out soon as I'll be needing a new knife fix shortly...lol.

With you on the Sage:)
Love this knife. for me it is an almost perfect knife. I don't know if a framelock will make it better:confused::confused:. I have several framelocks and some give me trouble with unlocking.

Anyway, I will buy the framelock version, but I don't think it can be improved upon.

It is an awefully nice knife. I got to carry/use one for a week or so & it surprised me.

Now, about that frame-lock Sage, are there any proto-type pics of it or expected price? Is it known if it's going to have the same "ingredients" as the current Sage, but just have a frame-lock? While I'm perfectly happy with & like my liner-lock Sage, I will definitely want to check out the new one.
 
Glad to hear another one, for the Sage :thumbup:
Its a darn nice knife,and I will most definitely purchase the new models, when available. As they say its a cross between the Cally and Native.
Sal, I'm sold on this model for sure, and Spyderco is my brand!

Yes +1 on the Sage being a great knife. Mine gets a fair amount of pocket time, and I love the leaf shaped blade. Also, pretty much anything wrapped in carbon fiber makes me drool:D
