Product Description
The Sage 5 Salt C123GPBKYLMC brings the proven Sage 5 into Spyderco's Salt Series, built with highly corrosion-resistant materials for use in and around the water. This version pairs a satin CPM MagnaCut blade with two-tone black and yellow G-10, machined to reveal its yellow layers for better visibility on the water.
CPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel designed to combine edge retention, toughness, and very high corrosion resistance, a mix that's hard to find in one steel. It resists rust from salt water, sweat, and humidity while holding a working edge. The thin 0.118" leaf-shaped blade is full-flat ground with a satin finish for clean, low-drag slicing.
- Blade: 3.00" CPM MagnaCut leaf-shaped blade with a 2.64" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 0.118" thick.
- Handle: Two-tone black and yellow G-10 machined with Spyderco's Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture, over nested, skeletonized liners in an easy-to-clean, open-backed build; marine-grade, black-coated hardware; 4.17" closed, 3.2 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Spyderco Trademark Round Hole for one-handed opening; the Compression Lock releases from the spine side, so your fingers stay clear of the closing blade.
- Carry: Black reversible deep-pocket wire clip for tip-up carry on the right or left side, plus a generously sized lanyard hole for fobs and safety lines; 7.13" overall.
Ideal for: anglers and boaters who want a folder built for salt water; EDC carriers in humid or coastal climates; and Sage Series collectors who want the Salt version.
The Spyderco Sage 5 Salt in satin CPM MagnaCut with black and yellow G-10 (C123GPBKYLMC) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Sage 5 Salt: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Sage 5 Salt (C123GPBKYLMC).
What lock does the Spyderco Sage 5 Salt C123GPBKYLMC use?＋
The Sage 5 Salt uses Spyderco's own Compression Lock, built into the nested, skeletonized liners. When the knife is open, a leaf spring in the liner wedges between the blade tang and the stop pin. You release it from the spine side of the handle with one hand, which keeps your fingers out of the blade's path as it closes.
What makes the Sage 5 Salt good for salt water?＋
Spyderco's Salt Series uses highly corrosion-resistant materials throughout. On this version, the CPM MagnaCut blade is paired with marine-grade, black-coated handle hardware, and the yellow layers of the G-10 make the knife easier to spot in and around the water. Rinse the knife with fresh water and dry it after salt exposure to keep it in top condition.
What is CPM MagnaCut steel?＋
CPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel designed to balance edge retention, toughness, and very high corrosion resistance. It holds a working edge through daily use and resists rust from salt water and humidity, which makes it a strong fit for the Salt Series.
What is the Sage Series, and does it support a charity?＋
Spyderco created the Sage Series to showcase folding-knife lock mechanisms and their inventors, and the Sage 5 highlights Spyderco's own Compression Lock. Spyderco says it donates approximately 5 percent of sales of the Sage line to the Alzheimer's Association Colorado Chapter, which supports care, support, and research for families affected by Alzheimer's disease.
