Spyderco Sage 5 Burnt Orange C123BORP – EDC that means business
The Spyderco Sage 5 Burnt Orange is more than just another closure for your collection. It is a tool that was created by combining tradition, innovation and uncompromising quality. In burnt orange, it catches the eye at first glance – but the real reason you’ll carry it every day is its performance.
This version of Sage 5 pays tribute to the innovations in the field of locking, specifically the Compression Lock system, which is fast, secure and intuitive. It’s a knife designed for everyday use – with respect for every detail.
🔪 REX 121 – sharpness without compromise
What makes this model special is the blade made from premium CPM REX 121 tool steel.This steel has an extremely high hardness and will hold its edge for an incredibly long time – something you’ll appreciate for everyday work and longer expeditions. The flat cut provides excellent cutting power, and the satin finish adds both elegance and resistance to fine scratches.
💡 Lightweight and ergonomic
The handle made of FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) in the shade “burnt orange” is light, strong and maximally functional. Thanks to the textured surface, the knife is easy to grip even with gloves or in wet conditions. The Sage 5 feels natural in the hand – it’s a knife you can rely on without restricting your movement.
🔓 Controls on one
One-handed opening with the iconic Spyderco Hole is smooth and flawless. The Compression Lock provides a high level of security during use and closing – without the need to put your fingers in the way of the blade. Adds a reversible clip for deep carry carry in left or right pocket.
🧼 Maintenance and care
REX 121 steel is extremely hard and durable, but can be more demanding to grind – a diamond sharpener is ideal. You don’t buy this knife every three months – you buy it for years. Just a regular wipe down, an occasional oiling of the joint, and it will serve you without hesitation.
❤️ Security in hand
Sage 5 Burnt Orange is the epitome of functional elegance. A compact, lightweight yet powerful knife that will hold you up. Wherever you go – into town, into the woods, to work – this piece is ready.
