Finally, someone who appreciates the thickness of a knife's handle is key to comfortable pocket carry. I hope after this, other reviewers and manufacturers will mention the handle thickness. Thickness can be a killer or a winner

@chanchungyoung I completely agree with you. Products made with the same materials and manufacturing techniques in Asia are IDENTICAL in every way to those from the USA. Also, just because it is made in the USA or the UK, doesn't mean it isn't any good. I live in the UK and it turns me away from buying products if the specifications are wrong, but it has no influence on me where the product has been made

Hey Jeff! Great review! I'm with you on the Sage CF. Been my EDC for almost a year now. Actually, I think it was BLUNTRUTH4U that originally got me to take a look at the Sage. The Taiwan thing didn't thrill me, but I found a great deal on mine. Under $90. Can't beat the S30v steel. So far it's one of my top 5 knives!

Cutlerylover, watch Nutnfancys videos from shot show 2011 for spyderco. In the second video they talk about how the Sage line is made in taiwan and that it is made by a talented enthusiast that has a small family buisness. They asked around the world who would take up the sage project and this guy in Taiwan was one of the only to agree.

Jeff I just got mine from Amazon and have had nothing but trouble with it out of the box. Very tight action, loosening either side of the pivot screws does nothing other than moves the blade way off center. The show side screw moves the blade, the non-show side is super tight and only spins a little in either direction, seemingly doing nothing. I'm not even sure which screw on which side I should be adjusting. Loosening all the body screws, which came absurdly tight, seemed to help a little, but no way near the "buttery smooth," or "glass on glass" or "almost loose but not" that you describe. My $30-$40 Tenacious and Persistence are both less tight. The way you describe it makes it seem that the action is outstanding, but even with tinkering, it's not right. It requires an inordinate amount of force to get the blade to flip fully out. It's not the smoothness, it's the friction. I've oiled it, paying attention to the detent ball and bushings, still too much friction. I removed the pivot screw entirely, still friction. I'm going to send it back to Amazon and order another, but I wanted to ask you if the action on this particular knife I received is wildly different from what it's supposed to be, based on my description when you consider how yours operates. Please also tell me which pivot screw I should be adjusting either show side or non-show side. Thanks for any help you are able to offer, this really pisses me off, I was expecting much more based on your review and now have to send it back and wait for a refund. I guess the two day expedited shipping has turned out to be an unsatisfied customer with two weeks of wait time. Thanks Jeff. -Mike
