Spyderco C123BORP Sage 5 Lightweight Burnt Orange CPM REX 121
The Spyderco Sage 5 is a refined everyday carry folder built around Spyderco’s signature Compression Lock mechanism for smooth, secure one-handed operation. This limited version features a blade in Crucible REX 121, an ultra-high-speed tool steel engineered for extreme hardness and edge retention.
With a vanadium content of nearly 10% and cobalt/tungsten additives, REX 121 is one of the hardest, most wear-resistant steels ever used in a production knife. While it requires careful maintenance to avoid corrosion, its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge under extended use makes it highly sought after by steel enthusiasts and collectors.
The handle is finished with textured G-10 scales, providing a secure grip without unnecessary bulk. Lightweight, strong, and fitted with a four-position pocket clip, the Sage 5 REX 121 balances cutting-edge metallurgy with proven Spyderco ergonomics.
