Shawn B just got this and I'm in love I just got my first 4 spyderco knives sage/native5/dragonfly 2 / para3 and I'm telling you I'm now on a hard kick with this knife company out of the four the sage then the native 5 are my favorite so far all ofcourse great my channel has been on hold for months but do I ever have alot of videos coming up I really enjoy your style of reviews thanks for the great video man frankie prepping for beginners ( youtube)
Wonderful review my friend. I don't watch many knife reviews because you tell me everything I need to hear.. I'm not a big Spyderco fan but I really like this little knife. Three inches is about I need in a folder so this one fits perfectly. I love the constant curve of the edge and there is something about the leaf pattern that gives the blade more symmetry.. Given all that, I can live with that big ol' hole on it.. Always a pleasure to catch up and listen to you Denis. Hope your having a wonderful week too. :-)
Thank you Sara. I was/am not a big Spyderco fan. But at some point I ended up having a few of their models. I guess that there are few knife making companies that have such a big diversity. They have something to fit every need. They are not all perfect but with a bit of work you can definitely find a Spyderco to fit your needs. I do wish that they paid a bit more attention to some small details. A 3 inch blade is perfect for edc tasks in my opinion as well. And the Sage can really handle some bigger tasks. The curve of the blade gives a really nice belly throughout the cut which does very well. This is one of those knives that I can appreciate for more than just looks. Performance and comfort are also very good. And it's fun to play with :) Which is really what I use it 70% of the time! :)
i really like your reviews on knifes in general because your so dam honest about the important things like what the EDC should be and what to look for,i have some other spyderco folders but none i would pack as a ECD all the time,so i had a look at the sage #1 and also think it would fit the bill as my ECD folder,should be hear this week,and i am really looking forward to owning this little knife,i think you had something to do with this ! thanks for that and your other videos are also vary helpful to,take care .
Thank you for the nice comment. I am always trying to touch on points that would interest me if I did not own the knife. Like many others, I like knives that can handle all the tasks you can throw at them but if we are honest, most of us, in everyday use, will mainly cut a few pieces of cardboard, open some mail, and maybe prepare lunch with our edc folders. The Sage is really good for that. Of course it can also tackle some bigger tasks but not as well as others. I still carry it off and on and I still like it.
Thanks for the great review! I am waiting for mine to arrive tomorrow! I returned my PM because it was just too big for an EDC for me! Looking forward to the Sage! Thanks again!
Nice review, thank you! Doesn't make it easier to resist ordering it... I EDC the Sage 2 since a few weeks and i absolutely love it. It is my favorite folder right now and the Sage 1 is teasing me now, too.
Thank you! Glad you liked it. The Sage 2 is the one with the framelock if I am not mistaking. I always favored the linerlock to the framelock but I have to admit that the Sage 2 looks better than the Sage 1.
Great review, really good points. I am currently in the market for a "100 dollar or over" type knife. I'm torn between the Sage PM2, and a couple of Benchmades, your reviews are easily the most helpful.
Have to say your channel is awesome. I bought this knife and the all black pm2 because of your reviews and love them both. Keep making videos there great! Oh and a maxpedition wallet lol Cheers
Chris Maynard Thanks! I appreciate that. The Sage is truly a great edc and the PM2 is one I keep going back to just because it is the right size, comfortable to carry and fun to play with
It’s a great knife. It’s smooth because the blade pivot area also has a pin which rides in a groove to keep it strong and stable. My Sage 5 has the Spyderco compression lock.
Thanks, I've been looking at the Sage-3 Bolt Action CF for a while now & I like your reviews because you don't just cut phone books & printer paper! I also like how they put the CF on both sides even if it is a laminate.
Dano Martinez I like the bolt action locking system. Keeps the knife symmetrical. One thing that I really like. That is why I like backlocks. the only downside with most backlocks is that the knife scan sometimes feel unstable in hand. The axis locks I have from benchmade do not have that problem and the bolt action locking systems I have held in hand from spyderco felt really good
SpartanJohns I have a few BM's with the Axis Lock and like them a lot. I like my Spyderco's just as much, but that Axis Lock is great for single handed operation. I'm hoping the Bolt Lock is the same!
Jay Larkin Hi Jay :)The Sage is a great model. Especially for edc but it can also take care of bigger tasks. I only hope that you will be so happy with yours as I am with mine :)Denis
Great review, I also have a few other Spyderco's and some higher end knives, but this it the one I find myself reach for for the most. Perfect size for EDC. My only wish, is that Spyderco would put a ball bearing in this one like the Manix 2. Nice, honest review, thank you..
i have the same knife i agree its one of the best edc's . would like to see the same knife with compression lock . appreciate your vids keep up the good work yasou !
Fantastic video Denis! I really miss Bluntruth4u and wish he would return because he had a great way to show so many aspects of the knives he showcased. I have a Sage in my collection and will need to look at it again, though mine is the frame lock Reeve style. I'd like to see a compression lock Sage! That would be epic!
traderjoes Steve was one of those guys... One of the original knife nuts here on youtube and I really liked his reviews and tests. Bravo 1, Military, Para2, Sage 1, RAT 1, ESEE 3...all knives that I was interested in thanks to his reviews. I have to agree...a compression lock Sage would be cool. The framelock Sage does look great! I realy like how they thought things out with this model:something for everyone!
Der Anfang war großartig,Denis....toll in Szene gesetzt,das Sage. Das Sage ist genau wie das Para2 ein großer Wurf von Spyderco....an diesem Modell ist einfach nichts schlecht. Mir fehlt der letzte Zentimeter am Griff,ansonsten hätte ich ein Sage schon längst wieder in meiner Sammlung. Beste Grüße Stephan :-)
stephan123321 Hallo Stephan, Zum glueck habe ich kleinere Haende wie du.Das Para2 gefaaellt mir immer noch und ich wuerde es vor das Sage fuer haertere arbeiten immer vorziehen. Als edc, obwohl das Sage ein nicht so angenehmen griff hat wie das Para 2, wuerde ich es dennoch nehmen. Weil es eben nicht so taktisch ausschaut. Wie gesagt, beim Karton schneiden hat es wirklich klasse arbeit geleistet.VGDenis
Thank you! I am glad you liked it. I try to be as explicit as possible and talk about all my experiences with each tool but sometimes, as I work without a script and from memory things get forgotten
***** I still watch his videos from time to time. He really was a cool guy and a good knife reviewer...no bullshit in his videos and if he was wrong he was not ashamed to admit it. That is rare.
Moin! The Sage is a great looking knife. Definitely one of my favourite Spyderco knives beside the Domino or the Dice. I would like to buy AND use more Spyderco knives like the Sage. But due to German laws, I'm not allowed to carry them in public. So they would become more or less useless for me, because I don't want to buy knives only for showcase them. Cheers, Claus
Claus-L. Müller I understand how that feels like. I sometimes make time in my weekend to go out and play with a particular fixed blade. Whenever I go to Germany I always take a Vic. But I do enjoy Spyderco knives. Few companies have such a great diversity! VGDenis
i love my paramilitary 2 ,but you are correct my friend the sage is a great edc and the native 5 in g10 s35vn is great to they are my most carry knife as in spyderco line ,always great to watch your review simply but very good ,all the best my friend
VITO LAGINESTRA Thank you Blunttruth4u also presented the Native 4 I think(S30V blade and frn handle) and that one also got my attention. The Native and the Sage are very similar and I think that they are both meant for the same kind of job. The Native 5 looks to be a bit more comfortable than the sage
SpartanJohns the native 5 in g10 s35vn is about the same as the sage ,just small difference in blade shape ,but very comfortable ,if you like the way the sage feel in your hand you will not be disappointed with the native 5 do not go for the frn handle model ,the n5 is much better fit and finish superb ,you want regret ,all the best my friend ,
Great review! I've never been a fan of how Spyderco's look, but I must admit, most of the models I have handled I start to like... a lot!!! They don't "look" like a traditional knife, but it seems the designers do have "use" over "looks" in the equation at least in the ones Ive handled. I think I might pick up a Sage. Thanks again !!!
in the beginning I said the same thing. but as time went by I really started to like their models. being honest, I think that there is a reason why Spyderco is such a well known brand. They make decent quality knives and they don't go overboard putting steep edge angles on them. I think that is an important point. Even if there are a few knives from them I do not like there are much more Spyderco's that I really like and want to try out I still think that for edc tasks the Sage 1 is a really good pick Thanks Denis
LandBender If you are only thinking about edc tasks I can only recommend the Sage. If you want a tactical knife with a longer blade...go with the Para2 The Sage looks less threatening also...
Oh the Sage 1 is such a perfect folder. I had a choice of getting A Sage 1 and a leatherman sidekick or a leatherman wave and a spyderco tenacious. I choose the wave tenacious.
As a common man who spends only one day a week in the woods and the other time with my family a wife and 3 kids.I think a spyderco sage1 plus a mora No.2 I also have a heavy axe I wa wondering if could you recommended a large straight blade for under 100$ US that I can use since my play budget is limited to 100 a month
thorin dyer for heavy duty tasks I can really recommend ESEE. Their warranty is hard to beat especially if you live in the States. If you break it, they replace it. Easy. I do not know exactly what you mean by "large" straight blade. I own the ESEE Junglas. 10 inch blade and I really like it for playing around. But as you have an axe that might not be needed. If you mean something around 6 inches.....I have been thinking of getting an ESEE 6. I do not know how htey are but that would be my next ESEE purchase. A good bushcraft knife is the Enzo Trapper. But that has a blade of only 4 inches. A great survival/camping knife with a blade of 4 inches is the ESEE 4. You would need to reduce the edge angle a bit for finer works as it does have a thin handle but once you do that it will also be a knife for finer tasks. Hope this helps a bit. These are knives, or brands that are around the 100 dollar mark and of which I have videos on. Except the Esee 6. That is still on my wish list.
+thorin dyer Change the axe (specially if it is not light) for a Bahco Laplander folding saw, you won't regret, believe me! Faster cuts, easier, less effort means less calories wasted which is something critical in a real survival scenario, no risk to cut yourself badly far from medical care... and many other reasons. On the other hand I love Spydercos and I have a lot of them but for practical tasks a cheap Opinel #10 beats the crap out of any sophisticated expensive folder, no carbon fiber needed. Why? For the same reason you use a Mora fixed instead a Esse 3, if you broke it you won't regret it.
+FloridaRaider The Sage is more of a gentleman's folder........Manix can take some abuse and is more fun to play with! Great lock type on the Manix! Also, lots of different choices.....steel and scales! Get the Manix!
+FloridaRaider I have a Manix. It is a great working folder but a bit big. The Sage is more of a "regular edc task" folder. Very nice design and smooth action. Great for playing with it.
which do you suggest the sage 1 or the sage 2 titanium frame lock or sage 3. which do you think would show wear and hold up the best... I already have the pm2 and was trying to decide on a sage. but I worry about the wear on the titanium lockup
+John Vogle I have only had the Sage 1. I am not a fan of frame locks...i like them..but i prefer liner locks and axis locks...i have not tried the "bolt lock"(or however hey call it) that the sage 3 has... I ca 100% recommend the Sage1. It is a good edc knife...I like it very much. Besides it being useful I also find it has a very pleasing design...And the wire clip: great! I wish i had more knives with a good quality wire clip.
Hey Denis, ich weiss nicht genau ob es das Video selbst war oder etwas anderes, aber es war ein klein wenig leise. Ansonsten wie gewohnt ein sehr schönes Video. Ich finde wenn du sagst ein Messer ist sehr gut, ist das noch ein bisschen mehr wert als bei vielen anderen. Warum? Naja weil du deine Messer intensiver benutzt als die meisten. Die haben ein Messer 1-2 Wochen getragen, 3 Fäden geschnitten und meinen sie wüssten was Sache ist. Du testest die Messer und das unter Bedingungen für die sie oft nicht gemacht sind, also EDC Folder im Wald. Gruss, Soly
Hi Soly....ja....das habe ich auch gemerkt. Ich benuetze jetzt ein neues Case fuer mein Haendy/Camera und ich habe vieleicht auch leiser gesprochen. Werde in der Zukunft versuchen ein bischen lauter zu sprechen. Freut mich sehr das dir meine Reviews gefallen. Ich habe viele Raete gefolgt die nicht die besten waren und will jetzt jede Messer Review so machen damit wenn jemand das Messer kaufen will er so viel info hat wie nur moeglich Vielen dank VG, Denis
As usual great review. Thanks for sharing it. Still missing the dog, LOL..................... I know you can't get one, so I'll keep bugging you on it. Maybe I'll start a new business called "Rent a Dog", make you my first customer, AHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
mikedifeo nothing wrong with a bit of "bugging people" as long as one knows it's all in good fun. I would be a first customer but once I got the dog you'd be out of a dog and out of a customer :)) Thank you!Glad you liked itDenis
I wear L sized gloves. But i have relatively thin fingers... For edc tasks I think even an XL size hand would be ok with this...but it really depends what kind of tasks you are facing on a day to day basis
@@SpartanJohns ok thanks for info, I went with the manix 2 in s30v but eventually I'll try this... just think it's kinda small. I'm a truck driver so cutting boxs and zip ties and scraping occasionally. Thanks for all your reviews though!
+Jeremy Madsen Taiwan is not The Republic of China. And in my opinion both make excellent knives. I like the Sage. To this day I carry it sometimes. As a small edc blade it is near perfection.
+SpartanJohns They do make good knives. Taiwan is actually the Republic of China (not to be confused with People's Republic of China), unless Wikipedia is lying, which they do sometimes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan
+Jeremy Madsen I always looked at the knife, not where it was made. BLUNTTRUTH4U's review of this knife convinced me to buy it. I care little for the stamps on the blade...be it steel or country. it it feels right and holds an edge...i might try it If it would have been made in the USA it would have cost much more... I have the Native4....and I must say....the Tenacious I had was on par for fit and finish
+SpartanJohns Well said. I mean, I have some of those Ganzos and they're built tough. Love those knives. And, the Taiwanese knives I have are pretty much perfection. Thanks for sharing your viewpoints, love your vids.
shannonandsheila1 My US knives so far have been about equal to the Taiwanese fit and finish. I've never had an issue out of either country. I prefer to carry US knives for pride of ownership reasons. I guess I did get one Taiwanese made knife that had a dull edge from the factory, but it was AUS-8, so it sharpened easily.
dseed Thanks! I watched your video where you presented the ZT350. I also have a Manix. Mine is an older version that I got from Cliffstamp. Really a beast! :)
Great review, I also have a few other Spyderco's and some higher end knives, but this it the one I find myself reach for for the most. Perfect size for EDC. My only wish, is that Spyderco would put a ball bearing in this one like the Manix 2. Nice, honest review, thank you..
I am not quite sure what you mean. ball bearing washers? If that is what you mean then I must say: I know exactly what you mean. Lately I had to clean it at least once a month because it got really scratchy.

Andre Lapierre I hope it reached you by now and that you like it!
The Sage is definitely a good edc knife. I still carry it every once in a while.
Another great vid Denis!! Keep them coming!
+Joe Palone thank you. sorry for the late reply...i don't get notifications anymore. discovered the comment by accident ;)
eine wirklich gelungene Vorstellung. vielen Dank dafür. habe es mir bestellt und bin sehr gespannt.

It’s a great knife. It’s smooth because the blade pivot area also has a pin which rides in a groove to keep it strong and stable. My Sage 5 has the Spyderco compression lock.

So nice. You make a very strong case for this blade. I'm so very tempted...
It is a nice edc blade...if you think you'll like it, you probably will
Denis - Thanks for the great review. I have been thinking of getting a Sage... based on your comments, I am getting one.
Jay
Jay Larkin Hi Jay :)The Sage is a great model. Especially for edc but it can also take care of bigger tasks. I only hope that you will be so happy with yours as I am with mine

Nice commentary, I really like the wire clips they use as well.
Cliff Stamp Thank you. Lots of people complained that they bend too easy. I have found them to be quite resistant.
Great review, I also have a few other Spyderco's and some higher end knives, but this it the one I find myself reach for for the most. Perfect size for EDC. My only wish, is that Spyderco would put a ball bearing in this one like the Manix 2. Nice, honest review, thank you..
i have the same knife i agree its one of the best edc's . would like to see the same knife with compression lock . appreciate your vids keep up the good work yasou !
Fantastic video Denis! I really miss Bluntruth4u and wish he would return because he had a great way to show so many aspects of the knives he showcased.
I have a Sage in my collection and will need to look at it again, though mine is the frame lock Reeve style. I'd like to see a compression lock Sage! That would be epic!

Nice to see someone who remembers Bluntruth. Good dude.

I tried to cover as much as I could but I realize that 15 minutes is a long review already.
Good review.
Nice delayed pop on the shaving fire. :)
Be well bro
Thanks.
the delayed flame is easily achieved if you shave some ferro rod in between the shavings :)
Moin!
The Sage is a great looking knife. Definitely one of my favourite Spyderco knives beside the Domino or the Dice.

Oh the Sage 1 is such a perfect folder. I had a choice of getting A Sage 1 and a leatherman sidekick or a leatherman wave and a spyderco tenacious. I choose the wave tenacious.
I liked the Tenacious. I, however, did not keep mine.

+thorin dyer Change the axe (specially if it is not light) for a Bahco Laplander folding saw, you won't regret, believe me! Faster cuts, easier, less effort means less calories wasted which is something critical in a real survival scenario, no risk to cut yourself badly far from medical care... and many other reasons.
On the other hand I love Spydercos and I have a lot of them but for practical tasks a cheap Opinel #10 beats the crap out of any sophisticated expensive folder, no carbon fiber needed. Why? For the same reason you use a Mora fixed instead a Esse 3, if you broke it you won't regret it.
What do you think of the design of the new sage 5 ?
about to buy my 2nd spyderco for edc. Can't decide between the sage and manix 2
+FloridaRaider The Sage is more of a gentleman's folder........Manix can take some abuse and is more fun to play with! Great lock type on the Manix! Also, lots of different choices.....steel and scales! Get the Manix!
+FloridaRaider I have a Manix. It is a great working folder but a bit big. The Sage is more of a "regular edc task" folder. Very nice design and smooth action. Great for playing with it.
which do you suggest the sage 1 or the sage 2 titanium frame lock or sage 3. which do you think would show wear and hold up the best... I already have the pm2 and was trying to decide on a sage. but I worry about the wear on the titanium lockup
+John Vogle I have only had the Sage 1. I am not a fan of frame locks...i like them..but i prefer liner locks and axis locks...i have not tried the "bolt lock"(or however hey call it) that the sage 3 has...
I ca 100% recommend the Sage1. It is a good edc knife...I like it very much. Besides it being useful I also find it has a very pleasing design...And the wire clip: great! I wish i had more knives with a good quality wire clip.
Hey Denis,
ich weiss nicht genau ob es das Video selbst war oder etwas anderes, aber es war ein klein wenig leise. Ansonsten wie gewohnt ein sehr schönes Video. Ich finde wenn du sagst ein Messer ist sehr gut, ist das noch ein bisschen mehr wert als bei vielen anderen. Warum? Naja weil du deine Messer intensiver benutzt als die meisten. Die haben ein Messer 1-2 Wochen getragen, 3 Fäden geschnitten und meinen sie wüssten was Sache ist. Du testest die Messer und das unter Bedingungen für die sie oft nicht gemacht sind, also EDC Folder im Wald.
Gruss,
Soly
Hi Soly....ja....das habe ich auch gemerkt. Ich benuetze jetzt ein neues Case fuer mein Haendy/Camera und ich habe vieleicht auch leiser gesprochen. Werde in der Zukunft versuchen ein bischen lauter zu sprechen.
Freut mich sehr das dir meine Reviews gefallen. Ich habe viele Raete gefolgt die nicht die besten waren und will jetzt jede Messer Review so machen damit wenn jemand das Messer kaufen will er so viel info hat wie nur moeglich
Vielen dank
VG,
Denis
As usual great review. Thanks for sharing it. Still missing the dog, LOL..................... I know you can't get one, so I'll keep bugging you on it. Maybe I'll start a new business called "Rent a Dog", make you my first customer, AHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
mikedifeo nothing wrong with a bit of "bugging people" as long as one knows it's all in good fun.
I would be a first customer but once I got the dog you'd be out of a dog and out of a customer :))
Thank you!Glad you liked itDenis
Was their any blade play in the knife?
No bladeplay
How do you sharpen your knives?
+Brandon Cabeza just like everybody else...sharpening stomes, sandpaper and leather....I have a few videos on this topic...
How would this fit in a large or xl hand?
I wear L sized gloves. But i have relatively thin fingers...
For edc tasks I think even an XL size hand would be ok with this...but it really depends what kind of tasks you are facing on a day to day basis
@@SpartanJohns ok thanks for info, I went with the manix 2 in s30v but eventually I'll try this... just think it's kinda small. I'm a truck driver so cutting boxs and zip ties and scraping occasionally. Thanks for all your reviews though!
That was sweet. It takes me longer to light a fire with matches....ha ha.
+cwrowe thank you. dry wood and a bit of luck will do it ;)
Could you be my Therapist?
Sage advice
This knife proudly brought to you by Republic of China (aka Taiwan). The scales were too slippery for me.
+Jeremy Madsen Taiwan is not The Republic of China. And in my opinion both make excellent knives. I like the Sage. To this day I carry it sometimes. As a small edc blade it is near perfection.
+SpartanJohns They do make good knives. Taiwan is actually the Republic of China (not to be confused with People's Republic of China), unless Wikipedia is lying, which they do sometimes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan
+Jeremy Madsen I always looked at the knife, not where it was made. BLUNTTRUTH4U's review of this knife convinced me to buy it. I care little for the stamps on the blade...be it steel or country. it it feels right and holds an edge...i might try it
If it would have been made in the USA it would have cost much more...
I have the Native4....and I must say....the Tenacious I had was on par for fit and finish
+SpartanJohns Well said. I mean, I have some of those Ganzos and they're built tough. Love those knives. And, the Taiwanese knives I have are pretty much perfection. Thanks for sharing your viewpoints, love your vids.
shannonandsheila1 My US knives so far have been about equal to the Taiwanese fit and finish. I've never had an issue out of either country. I prefer to carry US knives for pride of ownership reasons. I guess I did get one Taiwanese made knife that had a dull edge from the factory, but it was AUS-8, so it sharpened easily.
great review mate, subbed earlier and got a knife and outdoor channel myself, check it out if curious :) My favorite is the manix2 so far.
dseed Thanks! I watched your video where you presented the ZT350.
I also have a Manix. Mine is an older version that I got from Cliffstamp.
Really a beast! :)
SpartanJohns såg du også video av zt 0566? skal ta en review av storeboroen i løpet av kort tid ;)
Stell einmal das messer böker colubis vor
Wenn du es mir zuschickst, mache ich eine review davon
Great review, I also have a few other Spyderco's and some higher end knives, but this it the one I find myself reach for for the most. Perfect size for EDC. My only wish, is that Spyderco would put a ball bearing in this one like the Manix 2. Nice, honest review, thank you..
I am not quite sure what you mean. ball bearing washers? If that is what you mean then I must say: I know exactly what you mean. Lately I had to clean it at least once a month because it got really scratchy.
No ball bearing lock. Spydercos version of benchmades axis lock
