Sage 3?

[bitter1]

Any news on what the new thing is going to be on the Sage 3?

 

[gundude73]

i heard it was going to be the bolt action lock.

Know the lock will be the Blackie Collins Bolt Action Lock and that the plan is to make it ambidextrous (bolt handles on both sides). Not sure if that's the info you're looking for, or not.

deacon do you know if the handles will be carbon fiber?

 

[Gollum]

I think Sal said G10 and would be made in Golden.

 

[gundude73]

not in taiwan? that is cool!

 

[yablanowitz]

I haven't heard anything on the handle material other than he didn't want to invest in a mold for FRN. It will be made in Taiwan by the same maker who did the first two.

Yab is right. Same maker in Taiwan, most likely handle material seems like G-10. Micarta or CF could be possibilities too.

I think this version is going to surprise people. Its a relatively rarely used lock mechanism, and Spyderco is sure to do it better than anyone else. I was glad to be able to offer a small bit of help to the project. I can't wait.

Can't wait either!
