Description

Spyderco Sage 5 Lightweight CPM SPY27 3″ Cobalt Blue FRN Folding Knife

The Spyderco Sage 5 SPY27 pairs one of Spyderco’s most refined everyday carry designs with the company’s proprietary CPM SPY27 blade steel. This premium Sage 5 Lightweight features a 3-inch full-flat-ground blade, cobalt blue FRN handle, Compression Lock and reversible deep-pocket wire clip in a compact package weighing only 2.9 ounces.

Designed for users who appreciate lightweight construction without sacrificing premium materials or locking strength, this version of the Sage 5 brings together Spyderco’s signature ergonomics, proprietary steel and proven Compression Lock mechanism.

CPM SPY27 Stainless Steel Blade

The centerpiece of this Spyderco Sage 5 SPY27 is its blade made from CPM SPY27 stainless steel, a proprietary steel developed by Spyderco in cooperation with Crucible Industries.

SPY27 builds on the proven characteristics of cobalt-enriched stainless steels while incorporating additional alloying elements and Crucible’s particle metallurgy manufacturing process. The result is a premium blade steel developed specifically for select Spyderco knives.

3-Inch Full-Flat-Ground Blade

The Sage 5 features a 3-inch leaf-shaped blade with Spyderco’s full-flat grind.

The blade measures approximately 0.118 inches thick with a 2.64-inch cutting edge, creating a versatile geometry suited to everyday cutting tasks.

PlainEdge Cutting Edge

This version of the Spyderco Sage 5 features a fully sharpened PlainEdge configuration.

The uninterrupted cutting edge provides a clean, versatile cutting surface for common everyday tasks and general utility use.

Signature Cobalt Blue FRN Handle

Spyderco pairs its CPM SPY27 blade steel with a distinctive cobalt blue fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle.

The blue color is part of Spyderco’s visual identity for many of its SPY27-equipped knives, making the blade steel easy to recognize while giving this Sage 5 a distinctive appearance.

Bi-Directional Texture for a Secure Grip

The injection-molded FRN scales feature Spyderco’s Bi-Directional Texture, providing enhanced traction without requiring heavier handle materials.

The textured scales combine with the Sage 5’s ergonomic profile and forward finger choil to create a secure and comfortable grip.

Spyderco Compression Lock

The Spyderco Sage 5 SPY27 showcases Spyderco’s high-strength Compression Lock mechanism.

The lock works with the knife’s nested stainless steel liners, stop pin and blade tang to provide a strong and user-friendly locking system while keeping the user’s fingers away from the blade’s closing path during normal operation.

Nested Stainless Steel Liners

Beneath the lightweight FRN scales are nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners.

This construction provides structural support for the handle and locking mechanism while helping the Sage 5 Lightweight maintain its impressively low overall weight.

Trademark Round Hole Opening

The Sage 5 incorporates Spyderco’s instantly recognizable Trademark Round Hole in the blade.

The opening hole provides positive access to the blade and supports convenient one-handed operation without adding a protruding thumb stud.

Only 2.9 Ounces

True to its Lightweight designation, the Spyderco Sage 5 Lightweight weighs only 2.9 ounces.

The combination of FRN scales and skeletonized liners helps keep weight down while retaining the structural features and premium materials expected from the Sage platform.

Reversible Deep-Pocket Wire Clip

The Sage 5 SPY27 comes equipped with a reversible deep-pocket wire clip configured for tip-up carry.

The clip can be positioned for either left- or right-side carry, complementing the knife’s ambidextrous design.

Compact Everyday Carry Dimensions

The Spyderco Sage 5 SPY27 measures approximately 4.17 inches closed and 7.13 inches overall.

Combined with its 3-inch blade and 2.9-ounce weight, these dimensions give the Sage 5 a useful balance between cutting capability and comfortable pocket carry.

Part of the Spyderco Sage Series

The Sage Series was created to showcase influential locking mechanisms that have helped shape modern folding knife design.

The Sage 5 specifically highlights Spyderco’s Compression Lock, combining that mechanism with the ergonomic leaf-shaped blade and compact proportions that define the Sage family.
