Did I read somewhere, that Sal was working on a 2 3/4" blade Sage?
Seems like? :confused:
2 3/4" "Sage like" knife.Did I dream this?

SCARAMOUCHE! 
A mini-Sage huh?
I would say go with a lock, what lock then?
What if you went with the original Sage-line and made it a tribute to something?
A mini-Sage, hmmm... Who's the pioneer of little big knives again? Oh yea, Spyderco :spyder: .
Now, what kind of innovative locks has Spyderco come up with?
Oh yea, the Ball Bearing Lock. So maybe a carbon fiber or G10 (A funky color please?) with a Ball Bearing Lock, caged or un-caged.
Or maybe the Compression Lock, or maybe you could crank it up a notch and make a mini-Sage with Ti-handles with a titanium Compression Framelock! :eek:
Sould you go either way, I'll get one, even if you don't, I'll probably get one anyway. :D
But IMHO those are the two smoothest, strongest locks I have ever seen, you should use 'em more. :)

I vote for a "lock" version. If it's made out of titanium, then I would have to say go for the RIL. For a regular model I would be happy with a back-lock/mid-lock.
Sal, any chance we could see your "Stop Lock" on this model? I'm anxious about seeing/trying it out.

I think the Sage and UKPK have the most ergonomically "evolved" handles so more variations of both are a good thing. A lot of people seem to want locking UKPKs for example, and the Sages are highly regarded.
On the one hand there already is a small Slipit, the Urban, but on the other hand it might be a huge market and the Native already fits that size and shape (roughly) for a locker.
I guess it depends on how the FRN UKPKs are selling. I don't think it'd sell badly as a locker but it might sell really well as a Slipit if overall they are selling well. If it was a locker it'd have to compete with many more designs in those markets.

The Chokwe is another Ti framelock and G10.Pete2s wrote:Ti Framelock + G10. I think the Leaf Storm is the only Spyderco model to currently do this.
Another vote for Ti Framelock + G10 (unlined orange). The Leafstorm ergos just don't do it or me like the Urban so make it very Urban like. I'd also buy a 1/4' bigger locking urban as well.

BBL wouldn't fit since the regular size Sage is already said to be probably too small to fit it. But a compression lock would be cool; it's a strong and innovative lock that we've seen surprisingly little of.Domanfp wrote:mini CBB lock with Ti-slabs
Too small? Huh? How about the Dodo and Poliwog aren't those small knives with a BB lock? Or is the new CBB different?SaturnNyne wrote:BBL wouldn't fit since the regular size Sage is already said to be probably too small to fit it.

But an evenly good alternative is the Compression Lock, frame or liner.

I don't know how they differ in size or where it was originally mentioned but here's confirmation of it from Deacon: http://spyderco.net/forums/showpost.php ... ostcount=6Creepo wrote:Too small? Huh?

With the right lock, that's pretty much my dream knife
My first post!
If you can make this small Sage with either a Compression Lock, bolt action lock, or CBBL, I think I can promise to buy no fewer than 3 -- I've got family members who would go bonkers over one.
But if it's a liner or frame lock, lockback, or a slipit, no can do. I want a knife that locks, and one that I can close single-handed, without putting a digit in the arc of the closing blade.
(Incidentally, if that Dialex Junior prototype comes in at under 3" blade length, I'll be all over that sucker, too. Maybe a Dialex the Third?)
