Alternatives like the Spyderco Sage Titanium

[Clarity]

Hi. My EDC is a Spyderco Sage Titanium. I really like it. It's light, thin and solid, holds an edge and sharpens well, and the clip goes on my pocket and pulls off easily enough. My only quibble with the knife is the "Taiwan" on the blade. Does anyone have a recommendation for a knife with similar characteristics that's made in USA?

In the Spyderco world Taiwan are the "top" quality. Does it really bother you that bad?

How many things do you regularly carry that aren't made in the US that you never think about?

I EDC a Kershaw Leek. The come in 1/2 serrated or a full blade. The knife serves me well in my daily duties. Has a great edge straight out of the box and can be tuned up quickly with a few swipes on a good stone.

The Spyderco Sage 2 is Spydercos homage to the Reeve Integral Lock (framelock) if you want somethig similar why not just get the actual knife the Sage 2 is based off the Chris Reeve Sebenza 21? The Sebenza is made in the USA with fantastic attention to detail featuring CPM S35VN which is very similar to the S30V in the Sage series of knives. Plus Brad is a direct Chris Reeve dealer so you can also patronize a local INGO supporting business.

The Sebenza is more expensive than the Sage but I personally much prefer the Sebenza over the Sage.

I have no problem with my Spydercos out of Taiwan. However, the Chris Reeve Inkosi is on my list.

A Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is made in the USA and could sub for a Sage.
