Spyderco Sage 5 Lightweight Compression Lock Knife Mint FRN 3 Black M 4 BHQ
Spyderco
The Spyderco Mint Sage 5 gets a Blade HQ Exclusive makeover with mint green FRN handle scales and a black M4 steel blade! Features: Spyderco made the Sage Series to combine decades of knife experience into one knife. The end product was built to be ergonomic, practical, and good-looking. The handle enables the user to choke up for control, or back for leverage. The leaf-shaped blade is thin and slicy, perfect for EDC. We here at Blade HQ love this knife, so we worked with Spyderco to present this model with a mint green FRN handle and a CPM-M4 blade. Spyderco Folding Knives come in all shapes and sizes, and are some of the best knives out there.
