Its nice to see someone giving the old S30V steel an honest review. Even though there are so many better options, this one is inexpensive and readily available, so if someone is considering this knife they know exactly what they are getting into.

Thanks for the review, I've been looking forward to what you had to say about the Sage. I definitely agree that Spyderco's S30V is much better heat treated than Benchmades. I always thought that S30V was chippy because I've broken big chunks out of my griptillian but its all in the heat treat. I actually got a Maxamet Manix2 LW and a 15V Manix 2 from Spyderco's seconds sale and I'm super excited to break them in. If I find a Spyderco Sage for a reasonable price I might have to try it out.

I really love the handle design of the sage and the native because of the taller handle (especially at the butt of the handle) combined with a lack of a “beak”. Those two characteristics made it far more comfortable in my XXL sized hands. Even in a 3 finger grip when I’m not using the choil, those designs are comfortable and secure. Edit - I also want to make a point to agree that the native feels like an entirely new knife when you knock down the corners on the handle. It’s amazing how much of a difference a bit of effort with some sandpaper can make.

Can you fit the Native 5 into the coin pocket of your jeans? I'm looking for an EDC knife that is small enough to disappear in my pocket (I rarely use a pocket clip) but still is large enough to accommodate my XL glove size hands. I live in the PNW, so the well-balanced stainless-steel versions like Magnacut or Spy27 appeal to me.
@just9911

@@SummitScene probably not the coin pocket, but it’s still a small carry. I keep my pocket knife and my wallet in the same pocket. No issues with the pocket being cramped. SPY27 is an excellent steel, but magnacut is really amazing. The native 5 lightweight in magnacut would make for an excellent choice. I would be shocked if it ended up letting you down.

I still think the Sage wants to be a Native when it grows up. The overall smaller in pocket package of the Native, the fact its made in America, and that it has Rex-45 as an option keeps it at the top of edc pocket knives for me.

What's your thoughts on this one and the sage 5 with the peel ply carbon fiber. I know it's like 3.2 oz vs this 2.8 I think. How do u feel about the peel ply cf ? Never had or felt one but seems like it's just a thin price of cf on top of g10 and I don't think it would hold up like the frn.. love the detailed videos hope u get back to me.. thanks 👍

I have been trying to decide which Sage model to buy for a couple of months now. I know you weren’t asking for my thoughts, but to answer your question anyway I think the carbon fiber on top of G 10 would hold up just fine, but from watching other reviews, I’ve started to lean toward the idea that the FRN gives you a distinct feeling like you know you are holding a Spyderco while the carbon/g10 version feels a little more boring in hand, despite being a but more solid. also this particular FRN model has steel liners so it’s still pretty solid so even though I’m more of a G10 guy myself. I ended up going with the FRN version. I think the grey g10 maxamet version is beautiful but i don’t want to have to deal with the compromises of that steel and also miss out of the efficiency of the compression lock. I wish a could get a grey g10 sage with magnacut and a compression lock.

Being honest the Taiwan made Spydercos have the best quality and fit and finishing of all. I'd take the Sage but rather the Sage 1. I don't like the compression lock at all as it's right hand biased. I have no issues with the wire pocket clip but then there is no accounting for taste. The steel is dead on for that knife. But for price and being beaten on, I'd buy the mini-Griptilian.
