Knives Spyderco | Lil’ Temperance™ 3

Spyderco’S Original Lil’ Temperance And Lil’ Temperance 2 Took The High-Performance Qualities Of Our Iconic Temperance™ Fixed Blade And Distilled Them Into A Powerhouse Folding Knife. Now The Lil’ Temperance 3 Revives This Classic Design In A Leaner, Simpler Form That Is Ideal For Both Utilitarian And Personal-Defense Use.

The Lil’ Temperance 3’S Broad, Leaf-Shaped Blade Is Full-Flat Ground From Cpm S30V Particle Metallurgy Stainless Steel, Giving It An Incredible Balance Of Strength, Edge Geometry, Corrosion Resistance, And Low-Friction Cutting Performance. Its Minimal Ricasso (The Unbeveled Portion Of The Blade Near Its Base) Maximizes The Length Of The Cutting Edge, While A Fully Accessible Trademark Round Hole™ Allows High-Speed One-Handed Opening Of The Blade With Either Hand.

Spyderco’S Compression Lock® Mechanism Locks The Blade Securely Open During Use And Also Allows Safe, Easy, One-Handed Closing. This High-Strength Lock Is Built On A Foundation Of Sturdy Stainless Steel Liners Nested Into Cnc-Machined Recesses In The Handle’S Textured G-10 Scales. In Keeping With The Design’S Original Spirit As A Potential Personal-Defense Tool, Each Scale Includes A Single Indexing “Divot” That Aligns Precisely With The Concave Portion Of The Knife’S Four-Position Pocket Clip To Provide A Pivot Axis For Grip-Change Maneuvers. The Clip Itself Is Spyderco’S Time-Tested Hourglass Design And Can Be Easily Configured For Either Left Or Right-Side, Tip-Up Or Tip-Down Carry.

The Lil’ Temperance 3 Is Both A Rebirth And A Significant Evolution Of A True Spyderco Classic. It Faithfully Honors The Spirit Of The Original Design, While Incorporating A Number Of Significant Refinements That Make It Even More Functional And Capable.
