Which is the next Sage?

[Dr Heelhook]

Does anyone know anything about the next model in the Sage series? Will it be a ball bearing lock, compression lock, mid lockback or which?

I think it is supposed to be the bolt action lock.

I just saw some confirmation that it will be the bolt action lock on the spyderco forum.

All right, thanks.

What is the Bolt Action Lock? Is it like the old Gerber Bolt Lock made by Blackie Collins in the 80's ?

We are currently working on the third version which will feauture a Blackie Collins "Bolt Action" lock.

Sounds like it!

That's the one.

After a little research, I found that the Blackie Collins Bolt Action Lock is patent #4,451,982

You can pull up the .pdf document of the lock mechanism online.

The gist of it is a spring loaded bolt that runs lengthwise inside the handle, (with the spring in the backside of the knife) pulling back the release compresses the spring and releases the lock.

For those of you, (like myself) who are interested in mechanical stuff.
