Spyderco Sage 6 Carbon Fiber Button-Release Compression Lock Folding Knife

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 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 Spyderco’s most “fidget friendly” folders. Its satin-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/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.
