The **Spyderco Sage 5 light-weight C123PGY** is a valuable addition to the already extended Spyderco Sage collection. For this collection Spyderco always uses the same design. The difference, however, is that for each model a different locking mechanism, or type of material is used. In this case, it is a steel that is different, the standard CPM S30V has given way to Maxamet steel.

## Maxamet steel

You can easily open the Sage 5 with the large thumb hole. A characterizing feature of Spyderco pocket knives. The blade of this Sage 5 is made of MicroMelt Maxamet. A wear and tear type of steel, made by Carpenter in the United States. Originally this type of steel was used for the coils on which various types of steel were transported through the factory. Spyderco is the first knife manufacturer who was able to apply a heat treatment to this type of steel to make sure it is suited for use in pocket knives. The result is great! When it comes to sharpness retention there are few types of steel that can compete with Maxamet.

## Compression Lock

The Sage 5 Light-weight is enhanced with the popular Compression Lock. This lock became famous because of the Paramilitary 2 models. It works as sort of a reverse linerlock. The controls are on the spine of the handle. The way it locks is also different. A linerlock, for instance, only falls against the blade. The lockbar of a Compression Lock falls into the cut-out in the blade and gets caught in between the blade and stop pin. As a result, it's one of the strongest locks on the market today.

## FRN handle

The scales are made from FRN. This is a light and strong material that offers you enough grip. The Sage 5 is enhanced with steel liners. Barely visible from the outside because they are inserted in the inside of the scales. Difficult to produce, but with stunning results. The combination of these materials and techniques also ensure a greatly reduced weight. The Sage Light-weight weighs only 82 grams and is as such lighter than its predecessors in the Sage collection.

Part of the proceeds from the Sage 5 is donated to the National Alzheimer's Association in Denver, Colorado.
