Spyderco Sage 6 Rex 121
The Sage 6 honors custom knifemaker Kevin Smock's Button-Release Compression Lock, a refined variation of Spyderco's original mechanism that allows secure one-handed closing with the press of a button. This elite version elevates the design with CPM REX 121 steel, a high-vanadium, cobalt-bearing tool steel formulated to deliver exceptional sharpness and unequalled edge retention that outlasts conventional blade steels. The full-flat grind maximizes cutting efficiency while the steel's composition maintains a keen edge through extended use. Distinctive burnt-orange peel-ply-textured G-10 scales create a secure grip and set this version apart visually from the standard Sage 6. The button-release mechanism keeps your fingers clear of the blade path during closing while maintaining the positive lockup of the Compression Lock during use. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip offers left or right side tip-up carry. Part of Spyderco's Sage Series that explores different locking mechanisms on the same proven folder pattern, each model paying tribute to the designer who innovated that particular lock.
