If I could only have 1 spyderco knife it would be the sage 5.

Date: April 29th, 2024 11:36 PM Author: idiotic chestnut theater stage Pm2 is great. Absolutely no argument from me. But with a nearly 3.5" blade, it's too big for most people. Perhaps that's why the para 3 is so popular.
The sage 5, is the same size as the para3 but with better quality finishing and a more elegant design. |

Date: April 30th, 2024 1:23 PM Author: emerald son of senegal theater explain the difference from the Para 3, I'm not understanding it
Para 3, IMO, is the perfect form factor and size for a standard EDC.
the BM 945 is great too but you forget its even there. |

Date: April 30th, 2024 1:31 PM Author: idiotic chestnut theater stage They are very similar and both are absolutely phenomenal knives.
the most noticeable difference is the blade shape. The sage 5 has a leaf shape whereas the para 3 has a clip point style with a big bump on the top.
I think the lines on the sage 5 are more fluid and aesthetic by a long shot. The para 3 is an ugly knife. It looks like a chubby condensed version of the pm2 which was already a pretty ugly knife.
Para 3 is a bit more slender too and the lack of the bump on the blade makes it carry better as well.
Finally, it's made in the taichung taiwan factory and just has a better fit and finish than the para 3 which is made in the golden colorado factory.
The lightweight version in particular sets it apart from the para3. It has liners on both sides and a bushing system in the pivot which makes for perfect action. The para 3 lightweight only has liners on 1 side and no bushing system. It's also in an inferior steel though this configuration is slightly cheaper than the sage 5 lightweight.
There are tons of videos on youtube comparing the knives if you are interested.

The "base" for the steering wheel that provides the force feedback probably weighs 20lbs (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5522966&forum_id=2...id#47621595) |

Date: May 1st, 2024 9:43 AM Author: idiotic chestnut theater stage For comparisons to the pm2 and size questions, I'm posting a Pic of the 3 spydies I have in my office right now.
Pm2, sage 5, chaparral.
The sage 5 is longer than the chaparral but a more manageable size than the pm2.
A dimension that you can't really see is thickness. The sage 5 is just slightly thinner than the pm2 allowing for a more comfortable carry while hardly sacrificing any utility. The chaparral is very thin, as it's intended to be a light use gentleman's folder.
All 3 are GOAT tier spyderco models IMO, but the sage 5 is the "if I could only have 1" answer for me.
