EDC-ing the Spyderco Sage (Boker Plus Hyper as a comparison)

With my new incoming Spyderco Sage, I almost never clip my Boker Plus Hyper in my pocket anymore. Here's a pic of the Sage in my front pocket.



And as a comparison, here's the Boker Plus Hyper in the same position. :)



I have to say, though I think both are comfortable because of the light weight and slim profile, the Hyper is still more comfortable because of the width of the knife. The Sage takes up more "real estate" and makes put thing stuff in and taking stuff out of the pocket just a little bit more work.

And since the Sage is a tip down carry, I have to do just a little more work to get the knife to open when I pull it out of my pocket. In comparison, the Hyper is at a much more natural position to deploy when pulled out of the pocket with its tip up carry.

With the thumb open, the Sage is easier to pull out of the pocket because there's nothing to get caught with the pocket. Unlike the Hyper with the thumb stud, which sometimes will get caught with the edge of the pocket.
