The Sage 5 Compress pairs a 3" Maxamet blade with a genuinely compact 4.25" closed profile, making it a serious pocket carry for users who refuse to compromise on steel quality. Maxamet holds an exceptional edge and shrugs off corrosion, though it demands regular stropping to maintain that edge; the gray FRN handle with bi-directional texture gives reliable grip in wet conditions without the weight penalty of scales. Thumb pull deployment and a recessed pocket clip make this a knife that gets used rather than admired, suited to European EDC where steel performance matters more than hype. Maxamet tools are not for casual users, but if you sharpen regularly and want decades of cutting performance from something that fits in a Jeans pocket, this delivers.

4.25" (10.8cm) closed. 3" (7.62cm) satin finish Maxamet tool steel blade. Gray bi-directional texture FRN handle. Thumb pull. Pocket clip. Lanyard hole. Boxed.
