Spyderco C123BORP Sage 5 (Rex 121, Leaf, Satin, FRN, Orange) Lightweight Pocket Knife

Meet the Spyderco C123BORP Sage 5 Lightweight CPM REX 121, the pinnacle of edge-retentive performance combined with everyday portability. Its full-flat satin finish 3.00″ leaf shaped blade, crafted from CPM REX 121 tool steel, offers unmatched wear resistance, thanks to high carbon content and alloys like tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, and cobalt.

The burnt‑orange FRN handle, molded with peel‑ply texture, ensures secure, lightweight handling. Structural strength is maintained through nested stainless-steel liners and the rock-solid Compression Lock mechanism. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip supports ambidextrous, tip-up carry.

Spyderco also pledges about 5% of Sage-line sales to the Alzheimer’s Association’s Colorado Chapter, blending performance with purpose.
