Product Description

The Spyderco Sage 5 Salt in Black and Yellow G-10 is the high-visibility expression of Spyderco's Salt Series Sage 5 — a 3.00-inch CPM MagnaCut blade with a clean satin finish paired with two-tone scales engineered to be seen in low-light and on-the-water conditions where a dropped knife needs to be found fast.

CPM MagnaCut is Crucible Industries' particle metallurgy breakthrough — a steel purpose-designed to deliver edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance simultaneously, without the metallurgical trade-offs that define conventional stainless steels. In a Salt Series application, MagnaCut's corrosion resistance is the defining advantage: it withstands sustained saltwater exposure, high humidity, and marine environments that would pit or stain steels marketed as stainless. The satin finish keeps the blade clean, inspectable, and easy to maintain after hard use at the water's edge. The full-flat grind produces an efficient, thin-behind-the-edge geometry ideal for fish, food prep, line work, and precision cutting tasks.

The black and yellow G-10 handle scales are the visibility story. Painstakingly machined with Spyderco's Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern, the milling process cuts through alternating black and yellow G-10 layers — revealing bright yellow at every high-traction texture point. The result is both maximum grip in wet conditions and a high-contrast visual signature that stands out against dark water, boat decks, and low-light environments. The open-backed handle construction rinses clean quickly, and all hardware — liners, clip, and fasteners — is crafted from ultra-corrosion-resistant marine-grade materials with black coatings.

• Carry: 3.2 oz, reversible deep-pocket wire clip for tip-up left or right-side carry, generously sized lanyard hole for tethered safety-line attachment; 4.17" closed length
• Made in: Taiwan

Ideal For

Anglers, kayakers, and on-the-water users who need a lightweight corrosion-proof folder they can find quickly if set down or dropped — the Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture yellow layers are the visibility feature, not just an aesthetic choice. Buyers who want the CPM MagnaCut Salt Series platform in a satin finish for easier blade maintenance and inspection versus a coated blade. Left- and right-handed carriers who need a Compression Lock folder with a reversible wire clip and lanyard tether capability out of the box.

CPM MagnaCut corrosion resistance, high-visibility yellow G-10, and a Compression Lock light enough to forget you're carrying it — until you need it.
