Spyderco's Sage Series is a remarkable family of cutting
tools created to showcase various folding knife lock mechanisms and the
influential designers who invented or popularized them. The sixth member of
this series, the Spyderco Sage 6 Folding Knife highlights the Button-Release Compression Lock
mechanism pioneered by custom knifemaker Kevin Smock. A novel variation of
Spyderco's high-strength Compression Lock design, it adds a convenient button
release to the obverse-side scale. This feature makes releasing the lock much
easier and transforms the Sage 6 into one of the Spyderco's most
'fidget-friendly' folders. Its stain-finished blade is full-flat ground from
CPM S30V stainless steel and paired with an easy-to-clean open-backed handle
featuring nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners and peel-ply textured
carbon fiber and G-10 laminate scales. To keep the knife poised for quick access,
it also includes a deep-pocket wire clip that is reversible for left or
right-side tip-up carry.
