Product Description
The Sage 6 C123CFBCLP is the sixth member of Spyderco's Sage Series, which showcases folding-knife lock mechanisms and the designers who invented or popularized them. It highlights the Button-Release Compression Lock pioneered by custom knifemaker Kevin Smock, paired with a satin CPM S30V blade and carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales.
CPM S30V is an American particle metallurgy stainless steel designed specifically for knife blades, with a balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. In daily carry, that means an edge that keeps cutting through boxes, tape, and cord and resists rust from sweat and humid weather. The thin 0.118" leaf-shaped blade is full-flat ground with a satin finish for clean slicing.
- Blade: 3.00" CPM S30V leaf-shaped blade with a 2.64" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 0.118" thick.
- Handle: Peel-ply-textured carbon fiber/G-10 laminate scales over nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners, in an easy-to-clean, open-backed build; 4.17" closed, 3.1 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Spyderco Trademark Round Hole for one-handed opening; the Button-Release Compression Lock adds a button on the front scale, so releasing the blade takes just a press, with your fingers clear of the closing edge.
- Carry: Deep-pocket wire clip, reversible for tip-up carry on the right or left side; 7.13" overall.
Ideal for: lock-mechanism enthusiasts collecting Spyderco's Sage Series; EDC carriers who want a light 3-inch folder with an easy-release lock; and buyers who like that Sage sales support a charity.
The Spyderco Sage 6 in CPM S30V with carbon fiber/G-10 laminate (C123CFBCLP) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Sage 6: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Sage 6 (C123CFBCLP).
What lock does the Spyderco Sage 6 C123CFBCLP use?＋
The Sage 6 uses the Button-Release Compression Lock pioneered by custom knifemaker Kevin Smock, a variation of Spyderco's Compression Lock. When the knife is open, a leaf spring in the liner wedges between the blade tang and the stop pin. A button on the front scale releases the lock with a simple press, so you can fold the blade closed with your fingers clear of the edge. Spyderco calls it one of its most "fidget friendly" folders.
What is the Sage Series, and does it support a charity?＋
Spyderco created the Sage Series to showcase folding-knife lock mechanisms and the influential designers who invented or popularized them, and the Sage 6 highlights Kevin Smock's Button-Release 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.
What is CPM S30V steel?＋
CPM S30V is an American particle metallurgy stainless steel developed specifically for knife blades, with a balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It holds a working edge through daily use, resists rust in everyday carry, and sharpens well on diamond, ceramic, or quality synthetic stones.
What is the Sage 6 blade good for?＋
The C123CFBCLP has a 3.00-inch leaf-shaped blade with a 2.64-inch PlainEdge and a thin 0.118-inch full-flat grind, which makes it a strong everyday slicer for opening packages, breaking down boxes, cutting cord, and food prep. At 3.1 ounces, it carries easily in a pocket all day.
