Which Spyderco Sage blades for the Sage 2 frame lock??

[Hans Muller]

I would love to swap some new steel into my Sage 2… I’ve heard the Maxamet fits, but I’m wondering does anything else?

Thanks,
Hans

I think it’s probably even hit or miss with the maxamet blade. I tried it before and it didn’t work (had a lot of up/down play), but I’ve seen others do it with success. I’ve got another maxamet sage on the way so I’ll try it again with the new one. The original sage 1 may also work but it’s s30v so there wouldn’t be any point to doing the swap.

I figured it could be hit or miss.. I would hate to spend the money and then have sloppy fitting. When I find a good deal on a Maxamet on the secondary I’ll give it a try.

They only made the sage in s30v and maxamet so your choice is to keep as is or maxamet

Is each Sage a different lock and steel type, is that what all the 5 Sages are?

It worked out for me. Lockup is early, and no bladeplay.

Don't forget M4.

I have to rec the Sage 5 M4, that one is the smoothest comp lock I have ever ever experienced.

The CPM-M4 was the one I really wanted to have, since I already have a number of CPM-M4 Spydies, but nogo on the Sage 2 .
