Carpenter® Technology’s Micro-Melt® Maxamet® is an extraordinary tool steel that was specially formulated to roll red-hot steel billets in Carpenter’s steel mills. Spyderco is the only knife company to have mastered this demanding material well enough to feature it prominently in our production knives. This elite expression of the Sage™ 5 Lightweight showcases this incredibly hard, ultra-tough steel in its full-flat-ground, satin finished, PlainEdge™ blade. All other features are consistent with the standard version of this model, including nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners, a high-strength Compression Lock®, injection-molded FRN scales, and a reversible deep-pocket wire pocket clip.

Spyderco will donate approximately 5% of sales of the Sage line to the National Alzheimer's Association Denver, Colorado Chapter. The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Their mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research, to provide and enhance care and support for all affected, and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Contributions to the Alzheimer's Association provide care and support to families in Colorado coping with Alzheimer's disease, as well as fund national programs and research to ultimately find a cure.
