I work at a knife shop during the summers. My manager has both and we experimented with switching the scales. They're back to being as-is right now, and I'm unable to do it again as you might imagine. The exchange was effortless and looked pretty bad@$$ though. :cool:
 
Has anyone noticed the difference in the pocket clips of the two owner's Sage IIs in this thread?? cgmblade's Sage II has the pocket clip designed for low, discrete carry. JNewell's Sage II has the pocket clip designed differently, making the knife ride higher in the pocket.

I like the low riding pocket clip, myself. If I order the Sage II, which pocket clip configuration will I receive??

I've gotten tcgmblade's version on all;) of mine. I think JNewell has switched out the stock clip with one from another Spydie.
 
I believe it is the same pocket clip. iirc, JNewell is a leftie and has switched the clip to the other side. It comes stock the way mine is set up.

EDIT: well, I was wrong. It is another clip, but he did put it on the other side. Still, if you order one it'll come set up like mine.

Yep, possibly a Poliwog, or else he ordered one of that type from Spyderco.

The Sage 2 is minimalist design at its best. This knife belongs in MOMA (Museum of Modern Art). It has everything a good knife should have and nothing that it shouldn't. It is a pure example of form follows function. I love it!

I love it! I like your description, for these are the same things I like in a knife. I think that's my next one! Thanks for posting and the beautiful pictures!!

Your welcome and thanks for the comments, to be honest I was pretty pleased with how that first sentence came out. The knife brought out the poet in me,lol.

Several years ago when I first saw a picture of the Sebenza it was love at first sight. I've always liked things to look like what they are. Unnecessary decorations and adornments are a turn off for me.

I still don't have a Sebenza, maybe one day. But when I saw the Sage 2 the very same things that attracted me to the Sebenza drew me to the Sage 2. The titanium slabs and open frame construction combined with the frame lock is about as simple as you can get with a folder.

It really is a work of art. I'm looking at the knife as I type this. There is nothing amiss with this knife. The quality of materials and attention to detail combined with fantastic fit & finish and good quality control has produced a knife that is as perfect in form and function as any Spyderco I've ever seen.

I would encourage you to get one. You won't be disappointed.
 
The Sage 2 is truly a masterpiece. It's my first and only RIL because it's the first knife that I really like with it. I don't like the RIL for aesthetic resons, but the Sage 2 convinced me otherwise. It's currently giftwrapped under the Xmas tree:D
 
I agree fully! I love my sage 2. It is a lesson in simplicity. Best materials well made. Top tier blade

IMHO, the handle shape and 50/50 choil make the smooth surface less of an issue that it would be with some of the more "brick" shaped smooth titanium handled RIL lock knives. It also gives free rein to anyone wanting to get creative. Engraving, checkering, sculpturing, and drilling are all possible. Am somewhat surprised we haven't seen more of that type stuff by now.

I agree 100%. I don't have any issues with grip on the Sage RIL. My fingers fall into place quite securely. For a general EDC, it works very well IMHO. And with the wire clip and smooth features, it's gentle on my pocket too.

Welcome to BF.

I agree with The Deacon and Reeek, due to the ergonomic design of the Sage 2 grip isn't an issue.
