Spyderco Native 5 LW VS Sage 5 LW!

[@Bigyam601]

Thank you so much for being the ONLY person I’ve come across that truly understands the differences between these two knifes. I felt like you gave a great summary of all the points I was curious about.

[@richardvirchow3390]

I have a Sage5 LW and my new Native5 LW just arrived today. Now I get to compare them for my EDC. You ( and others ) convinced me that I had to have a Native5 LW. I’m liking it so far.

[@dailygearguide]

100% agreed on the leaf shape blade vs the bird beak 👍😁

[@glockgaston2922]

Love the pups and both Spyderco knife models thanks for sharing 👊

[@kpfagerberg]

I get tired of dogs always walking though videos and everyone assuming all the viewers want to see that

[@andrewadam528]

I like the compression too. I wish they did a sage 5 in lc200n as a salt

[@goodnessgraciousitellya5004]

I agree with all your opinions here: Compression lock is just a more enjoyable locking mechanism than back locks, it makes the knife much easier and quicker to deploy single handedly. And I do prefer the Sage to the para: better construction (Taiwanese spydies generally are), pivot bushings keep everything smooth and centered, and you can really feel the difference of the sages thinner blade when slicing. For all the above reasons, to me, the Sage 5 is just the best and easiest to recommend midsized spydie and it’s aesthetics are more mainstream and appealing to people who generally dislike the look of Spydercos.

The sage 5 seems to be available in fewer steels (Only S30V and M4 that I have seen) than than the native 5, and is about $40 more. It’s easier to try a native 5, in a sick steel like rex 45

[@TheMinidoo]

Sage series is about locking mechanism and the native serie about steel

[@just9911]

They’re now offering SPY27, REX 121, and Maxamet.

[@nicoledodge7240]

The sage seems great!! The back lock is growing on me now that I none a native 5! The dogs are crazy! 😂😂

[@havoc1zero]

Thanks for responding to my question! Now I KNOW you love me.

[@ericasedc]

Of course I do!!!!!

[@tucobakunin8250]

I have both. I find them to be extremely comparable. Basic, durable, lightweight, midsized, folding knives. Don't notice too much in the pocket. Feel good in the hand. The only differences I can find are the blade shape (barely) and locking mechanism. The Sage does have full liners, but I don't really notice any difference in weight or rigidity. I do prefer the compression lock of the Sage. I do prefer the blade shape and swedge on the Native. I love them both. I carry them both regularly. I suggest getting them both. Oh yeah, the Native is made in Colorado, if that stuff is important to you. I figure folks got kids to feed in Taiwan too, so meh. But if it is important to you, there it is.

[@ZPositive]

I don't know why, but the only Taichung knife that has stuck with me is the Spydiechef. Maybe it's the lack of Rex 45 or K390 that keeps Seki and Golden knives in my pockets.

[@snowtiger44]

I had to gave the dog back to the owner today the dog had a good time with me for six days 🙂👍

[@SubUrbanNinja-EDC]

I just got the Native LW and the blade is awesome. I don't like oprn and close action.

[@jimmyrobertson9563]

My sage is a linerlock. I love it, and the reason is that my native 5 is a back lock, and my para 3 is a compression lock. I love having the variety in the locks, and it also keeps me from buying the same spydercos with the different types of locks. Have a good rest of your day and go use your shit.

[@ericasedc]

Heck yes!!

[@jimmyrobertson9563]

What i love about this hobby is that i never stop learning and i believe that my linerlock is a sage 1 not a 5 . Have a wonderful rest of your day and go use your shit.

[@williamyoung369]

That #BladeHQ Spyderco Sage5 LW w/ mint green FRN & M4 steel sold out along time ago. Wish I wudda jumped on it! But check out this larger option from #Bladeops , exclusive, just dropped this morning, Spyderco Shaman, gray G10, w/ Elmax steel, has swedge. Compression lock. $235.00 USD. Peace!

[@NJames-dh6kz]

Lol. These videos are always so much more entertaining than stupid table top reviews.

[@ericasedc]

Thank you!!!

[@Tito31120]

Love the dogs ❤

[@bigdawghb]

The dogs disagree with your decisions 😂

[@ericasedc]

They do know best!

[@Sumatra123]

The Native all day long.

[@GoldStandardEnterprises]

If you would ever sell the Sage 5 I’d love to buy it! I love the video!

[@iivv_nn]

Which one the dog likes more?

[@nickhowell6454]

Do you review fixed blades as well?

[@ericasedc]

Yes- I have a lot of videos on those.

[@Growth-GrindSet]

Where did you get those p3 lw scales? AWT?

[@Ubescent]

What about blade thickness? The locks are fairly irrelevant to me. The reason people want these compared is because their blades are very similar, not the locks.

[@Oshianis]

The sage 5 has a thinner blade thickness.

[@michaeldrakesherman]

Puppies!!
