SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spyderco Sage 6 Button Release Compression Lock is a sleek, capable, and refined everyday carry folding knife that blends cutting-edge materials with thoughtful design and smooth functionality. Built for users who appreciate precision and performance in a compact package, the Sage 6 is part of Spyderco’s celebrated Sage Series—a collection that pays tribute to innovative locking mechanisms. This model showcases the evolution of Spyderco's iconic Compression Lock with an easy-to-use button release, adding a new level of convenience to an already outstanding design.
The blade measures a practical 3 inches and is crafted from premium CPM S30V stainless steel, known for its exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It features a satin finish for a clean, professional appearance, while the signature leaf-shaped profile offers outstanding versatility for daily cutting tasks. The blade’s .11-inch thickness strikes the ideal balance between slicing efficiency and durability, making it perfect for anything from precision work to heavier-duty use.
Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole ensures smooth, one-handed deployment and pairs naturally with the button-operated Compression Lock—an upgrade that allows for fast, intuitive blade closure without placing your fingers in the blade’s path. It’s a thoughtful, safety-forward feature that speaks to Spyderco’s commitment to innovation and user experience.
The handle is just as impressive as the blade. It features a sophisticated blend of black carbon fiber and G-10 scales, offering a stylish aesthetic with excellent grip and resilience. The ergonomic shaping fits comfortably in hand, and the overall build feels lightweight and responsive. At just 3.1 ounces and 4.17 inches closed, the Sage 6 disappears in the pocket until needed—but always delivers when it’s time to work.
This manual folder includes an ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip, making it easy to carry regardless of your dominant hand or pocket preference. A lanyard hole offers additional versatility for quick access or added security in the field. The overall length when open is 7.13 inches, giving it a full-sized feel in use without taking up unnecessary space in your pocket or gear bag.
