A Sage is someone wise in judgment and experience. Its reasonable assuming they achieved that title through trial, error and extending their best effort at every opportunity. If that definition can be applied to something tangible it would be an item created from experience and striving for quality and performance at the highest level. If said item were a pocketknife we could call it a Sage. The Sage series represents Spydercos pledge to knife crafting and learning to make better knives at every available opportunity. The plan is to offer an ongoing series of Sage Folders with many of the different and ingenuous locking devices and mechanisms the knife industry has to offer. This model is in recognition of knifemaker Michael Walkers contribution to the knife industry with his creation of the Liner Lock and ball bearing detent method of locking open a folding knife. While the knife is made in Taiwan, the flat-ground blade is produced with USA made Maxamet steel. It is paired with a gray G-10 handle and a Liner Lock. Categorized as a mid-sized folder, the blade is flat-ground and Plain-edged. A reversible wire pocket clip is included.
