I just received my Sage 6 REX 121.
Wow. This feels like the Formula One of EDC knives.
Think about it: an ultra-modern Button Compression Lock inspired by Kevin Smock’s design, paired with one of the most extreme production blade steels ever made—CPM REX 121.
This is a true heavyweight in the knife world, and probably one of the most technically advanced production knives ever released. Its price isn’t driven by titanium scales, exotic inlays, or premium bolsters. It’s driven almost entirely by engineering, manufacturing, and metallurgy.
Just… wow.
I have not played around with Rex121 much. It is sometimes used as a punchline as the example of a completely over the top steel. The arms race is not abating. Magnamax is the new, shiny, steel.
