Spyderco Sage 6 CPM REX 121: The Frontier of Steel Technology

Spyderco's Sage series pays tribute to the most innovative minds in the knife world. The Sage 6 recognizes the groundbreaking work of custom knife maker Kevin Smock. This elite model is not for the average user; it is a technical masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of materials science. Combining a unique locking mechanism with one of the hardest steels in the world, the Sage 6 offers a cutting experience unlike any other.

This version of the Sage 6 is designed for enthusiasts who demand maximum performance from their cutting tools.

- Revolutionary CPM REX 121 Steel: This steel is in a class of its own. With an extremely high vanadium and cobalt content, it achieves an impressive hardness of 68 RC. This results in unparalleled edge retention; the knife stays sharp where other knives have long since become dull.
- Button-Release Compression Lock: Inspired by Kevin Smock, this mechanism combines the strength of the Compression Lock with the convenience of a push-button operation. This allows you to close the knife without your fingers getting in the way of the blade.
- Burnt Orange G-10 Scales: The handle is finished in a striking “burnt orange” color with a peel-ply texture. This not only gives it a premium look, but also provides excellent grip in all conditions.
- Full-Flat-Ground Leaf Shape: The blade features the distinctive Spyderco leaf shape, fully flat ground for minimal resistance during cutting and maximum precision.
- Deep-Pocket Wire Clip: The subtle wire clip ensures that the knife rests discreetly and comfortably in your pocket and is reversible for left- or right-handed use.

The biggest advantage of the Sage 6 in CPM REX 121 is the time between sharpening. For users who have to cut tough materials on a daily basis, this steel is a revelation. The addition of the push-button operation also makes the knife extremely “fidget-friendly” and safe to use. Its compact size with a 7.60 cm blade makes it an ideal companion for everyday carry (EDC), while its striking color ensures you'll never lose sight of it.

The knife opens smoothly via the Round Hole. To close it, press the button on the handle, after which the blade can move freely. As usual with the Sage series, the ergonomics are excellent and suitable for various hand sizes. Please note: Due to the extreme hardness of CPM REX 121, this steel is less corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel. We recommend keeping the blade clean and dry after use and applying a drop of oil periodically.

This knife is ideal for steel enthusiasts, collectors, and professionals who demand the utmost edge retention from their knives. It is a tool for those who appreciate the nuances of high-quality tool steels.
