sage 1 alternative

[jacobts2013]

Hey guy's, I'm about to pull out the credit card and add a sage 1 to the collection but first I'd like to get opinions. What are some other options with similar price that are also as classy as the sage? It's the carbon fiber and stellar looks that are drawing me to the sage 1.

Can't go wrong with the Sage 1 imo, but the Spyderco Chaparral is similar to the Sage 1 but has a lockback and is smaller.
A bit more expensive option is the Caly 3 CF.

Not in my book. Get the Sage - you won't be disappointed!

Different looks but like materials, lock and size is the Enzo Birk 75, you can get a CF handle'd one in S30V (current production) or D2 (out of production, slightly harder to find).

I have a sage, you can't go wrong!

Guess I'm getting the Sage!

The manix 2 is a bit less expensive and still sports the s30v blade. The g10 handle doesn't look quite as cool but it's very functional and has that "being functional is what makes me look good" look to it.

The manix 2 g10 is on my list and will be in my collection soon, I was just wanting something that looked elegant. If I could afford it, I'd buy a domino in a heart beat! But my sage will be here on Monday

The Native 5 and Chaparral are pretty close, both great knives.

Here's my Sage 1 and Chaparral.




I sold the Sage 1 here. I still have the Chaparral.

Any reason you decided to sell the sage and keep the chaparral? And will do with the pics! Gives me a chance to test the camera on my new moto x

You chose wisely. The Sage is an excellent knife.

I prefer the back lock over the liner lock.
