Spyderco Sage 6 Compression Lock Folding Knife - 3.00" CPM REX 121 Satin Plain Edge Blade - Burnt Orange Peel-Ply Textured G-10 Handles (C123GPBOR)
Product Description
Continuing Spyderco's acclaimed Sage Series—a lineup dedicated to celebrating iconic knife lock mechanisms and high-performance blade steels—the Spyderco Sage 6 (C123GPBOR) introduces extreme edge-holding capability to a refined everyday carry platform. Handcrafted in Taichung, Taiwan, this edition pairs Spyderco's high-strength Compression Lock mechanism with CPM REX 121, one of the hardest and most wear-resistant tool steels ever created for cutlery.
The core of the C123GPBOR is its 3.00-inch broad leaf-shaped blade forged from American CPM REX 121 powder metallurgy super-tool steel. Heat-treated to extreme hardness (often reaching 68-70 HRC), REX 121 features a massive volume of vanadium carbides, delivering edge retention and wear resistance that outclasses almost every other production steel on the market. Ground with a full-flat profile and finished in an elegant satin coat, the blade maximizes slicing efficiency while offering a precise, controllable tip. Spyderco's signature 14mm Trademark Round Hole ensures swift, ambidextrous thumb flicking, complemented by finger choil and spine jimping for choked-up detail work.
The handle is built with vibrant Burnt Orange peel-ply textured G-10 scales housing full skeletonized stainless steel liners. The signature burnt orange colorway signifies Spyderco's elite REX tool steel family, while the peel-ply texturing provides a secure, non-slip grip. Driven by Spyderco's patented spine-mounted Compression Lock mechanism, the action locks up with extreme structural strength and allows safe, fast, one-handed closing without placing fingers in the path of the blade. Complete with a wire deep-carry pocket clip configured for ambidextrous tip-up carry, the Sage 6 REX 121 is an elite asset for knife purists and steel enthusiasts.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
Forged from extreme-wear CPM REX 121 super-tool steel, the Sage 6 offers mind-boggling edge longevity, but is a high-grade tool steel rather than a true stainless steel. To prevent surface staining or oxidation, wipe the blade clean after field use and apply a light protective coat of synthetic oil. The Burnt Orange G-10 handle scales can be easily scrubbed clean with warm water and mild dish soap to remove hand oils or field grime.
