Spyderco Sage 5 Grey FRN, Satin Maxamet by Sal Glesser (C123PGY)

Sage 5 Grey FRN, Satin, the fifth generation of the legendary Sage knife with Compression Lock® locking mechanism and Bi-Directional Texture™ FRN grips. The folder with its smooth, flowing lines represents Spyderco's thirty-year track record of innovative knife design.

Micro-Melt® Maxamet, an extremely hard and durable modern American low-friction powder tool steel. Going beyond the performance of conventional tool steels, it comes close to carbide, the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels. This phenomenal steel is manufactured in the US by Carpenter Technology Corporation.

Compression-Lock - (similar to Liner-Lock) a patented blade locking mechanism by Spyderco (made in USA). Extremely durable, it provides extreme strength and ease of use. Located on the back of the Handle, it protects the knife from inadvertent locking. When releasing the lock, the fingers are not in the path of the folding Blade.

Blade - with Leaf-Shaped profile, 3 mm thick. Plain blade was led out with Full Flat Grind for increased cutting properties. The flat grind guarantees perfect geometry of the cutting edge with a sharp tip, reduces the weight of the knife and presents a beautiful satin finish. The enlarged 14mm round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) allows the knife to be opened even with wet, sweaty hands. Finger Choil, an arched undercut for the index finger and a notched thumb ramp on the back of the Blade for efficient handling of the folder.

Handle - in gray color, which at Spyderco is attributed to Maxamet wedges. Non-slip Bi-Directional Texturing (Bi-Directional Texturing) covers strengthen the grip even with wet hands. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), a fiberglass-reinforced nylon plastic. Metal wire clip (steel wire clip) with two-position (right/left) attachment. In the back of the Handle a hole (lanyard hole) for a safety or decorative cord.
