The ergonomic Cobalt Blue FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) handle, 4.17-inches closed, has Bi-Directional Texturing for secure purchase, nested stainless steel liners, sturdy Compression Lock, a lanyard hole, and a side to side reversible deep carry wire clip mounted at the butt end. The Spyderco Sage 5 Lightweight Knife has an overall open length of 7.13-inches and it weighs 3.0 ounces. Made in Taiwan.
From Spyderco's website: The injection-molded scales of the Sage 5 Lightweight trim its weight and add the enhanced traction of a Bi-Directional Texture pattern. This elite version of that design raises the bar even further by showcasing a blade crafted from our proprietary CPM SPY27 steel. Developed in close cooperation with Crucible® Industries, SPY27 supercharges the proven composition of VG-10 stainless steel with additional alloys and Crucible Industries’ state-of-the-art particle metallurgy manufacturing process. The full-flat-ground blade of this knife is supported by a high-strength Compression Lock mechanism and nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners housed within fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales. Consistent with the theme of our CPM SPY27 family, the scales are injection molded in a signature cobalt-blue color.
