Perfect knife
I love how this knife has steel liners, a really good blade spy27, and it looks a lot less aggressive than the pm2 or pm3. The light weight and clip allows me to wear this with gym shorts. Razor sharp, stainless steel, edge retention, super light weight, compression lock on the back, this is the perfect EDC knife

Called Lightweight but still very solid
I’m not a hard use knife user. I want a knife to be made well and be functional. The Sage 5 LW is that and more—great construction and fun to deploy. The handles are have robust steel liners, so it feels very solid in the hand and makes the “spidey-flick” opening very easy.

Perfect EDC?
Like many knife guys, I have been on a search for the ideal EDC for me. This was my best out of the box experience with any knife except maybe the first one I bought with my own money as a kid. The PM2 is still my favorite, but this is a close second. This is the one I will feel more comfortable pulling out in front of non-knife people or in the office. Unfortunately, on day 2 I dropped it. It bounced, opened, and landed tip down on a ceramic dog dish. I tried to re-shape the tip, but I'm no longer as excited as day 1.
