Built to perform where water, weather, and hard use push gear to its limits, the Spyderco Sage 5 Salt Folding Knife Yellow-Black G-10 Handle CPM MagnaCut Blade delivers elite cutting capability in a highly corrosion-resistant platform designed for serious everyday carry. Combining the refined ergonomics and proven mechanics of the Sage 5 with Spyderco’s Salt Series engineering, this knife is purpose-built for users who demand dependable performance in wet and demanding environments.
At the core of the knife is a 3" full-flat-ground blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut, one of the most advanced stainless blade steels ever developed. Specifically engineered for knives, MagnaCut delivers an exceptional combination of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance without compromise. Whether you're working around saltwater, carrying in humid climates, or tackling demanding cutting tasks day after day, this blade is built to resist rust while maintaining outstanding cutting performance. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, professional appearance while highlighting its precision grind and working-edge capability.
Spyderco’s signature Compression Lock provides exceptional strength and smooth one-handed operation, giving the Sage 5 a fast, secure, and highly intuitive action trusted by knife users around the world. The open-backed handle design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance after exposure to dirt, sand, water, or debris, making it especially practical for marine environments, fishing, boating, and outdoor use.
The layered black-and-yellow G-10 handle scales are aggressively machined with Spyderco’s Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture pattern, delivering outstanding traction even when your hands are wet or gloved. The textured machining also reveals alternating black and yellow layers beneath the surface, creating a highly visible handle that’s easy to spot in low light, on docks, around watercraft, or if dropped near the shoreline. Nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners add structural strength while helping keep the knife lightweight and comfortable at just 3.2 ounces.
Measuring 7.13" overall with a closed length of 4.17" and a blade thickness of .118", the Sage 5 Salt balances compact carry with confident cutting performance. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip supports left or right-side tip-up carry for versatile everyday use, while the generously sized lanyard hole allows easy attachment of lanyards, fobs, or safety cords when working near water or elevated environments.
Made in Taiwan with Spyderco’s renowned fit and finish, the Sage 5 Salt is a refined yet rugged folder engineered to thrive where moisture, corrosion, and hard work are part of daily life.
