Spyderco Sage 5 Titanium Cut Test: Great EDC, Disappointing Edge Retention
Spyderco Sage 5 Titanium Cut Test: Great EDC, Disappointing Edge Retention
Today I'm putting the Spyderco Sage 5 Titanium replica through our Redneck Cut Tests to see how this excellent EDC performs under real cutting tasks. While this knife continues to impress with its perfect size, shape, and comfortable ergonomics, the edge retention story is a bit more complicated.
Overall, the results left me wanting more from the blade performance, but there were a few pleasant surprises mixed in with the disappointment. This medium-sized knife still feels incredible in hand and has all the qualities of a great daily carry - it's just the cutting performance that didn't live up to expectations. Watch the full test to see exactly where it excelled, where it struggled, and whether those surprising bright spots make up for the edge retention concerns.
