From Spyderco: The popular Sage Series has traditionally expressed the same iconic design with different lock mechanisms, paying homage to the innovative designers who created them. This rendition of the Sage 1 ushers in a new era by supercharging its Michael Walker LinerLock design with a blade crafted from Micro-Melt® Maxamet.
Maxamet is an extremely hard powdered tool steel with properties that transcend conventional high-speed steels and approach those of cemented carbides. This knife's full-flat-ground, leaf-shaped blade is paired with a handle featuring full stainless steel liners, a reversible deep-pocket wire clip, and distinctive cool gray peel-ply-textured G-10 scales.
