Info from SMKW:
Spyderco and Smoky Mountain Knife Works joined forces to forge this exclusive Sage 5 —a razor-sharp performer that refuses to compromise on speed, strength, or style. The 3-inch spearpoint blade, ground from elite M390 stainless steel, slices like it's cutting air and laughs off corrosion and heavy abuse. That satin finish gleams just enough to show off the steel's pedigree while staying low-key for serious carry. The full-flat grind powers through rope, cardboard, or daily chores with effortless precision and zero hang-up.
Flick the iconic Spyderco thumb hole and the blade deploys in a flash—one-handed, lightning-quick, ready when you are. The Compression Lock clamps down like a vice, delivering rock-solid security without liner fatigue or weak points. Those SMKW-exclusive smooth gray titanium handles feel premium yet tough as nails—lightweight, corrosion-proof, and built to take a beating while looking sharp doing it. The amofferextrous wire clip rides high and tip-up for instant, silent draw from either pocket, and the lanyard hole lets you rig it exactly how you want.
At 4.17 inches closed, this Sage 5 disappears in your pocket but commands respect the second it's in hand. Spyderco's legendary tolerances and buttery action make every deployment feel instinctive, every cut feel controlled. Available nowhere else, this exclusive hits hard for those who carry what works, not what flashes.
