Description

The Lil’ Temperance Lightweight is a powerhouse cutting tool and the latest chapter in a long evolutionary history. Although rooted in Martial Blade Craft design, it provides reliable, full-service performance for any cutting task. To elevate that performance even further, this expression of it features a blade crafted from Böhler-Uddeholm, K390 MICROCLEAN®, a stateof-the-art particle metallurgy tool steel formulated to withstand the rigors of the most demanding industrial applications. Full-flat ground from thick 4mm (0.157-inch) stock, the PlainEdge™ blade of this knife is supported by skeletonized stainless steel liners that form the foundation of its high-strength Compression Lock mechanism. The liners are nested within injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales that feature a Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a secure, non-slip grip. Molded in the signature blue color of Spyderco’s elite family of K390 knives, the scales are also home to a broad-based four-position clip that supports all possible carry preferences.

    Great little big knife

    Definitely not small but has a pretty short blade. Gets surprisingly thick up on back of spine. Cuts really well and seems like it would be very strong too. Action is nice compared to most seki city being back locks. Overall happy w it

    If I was the type to hide a knife away and not use it because it was so beautiful it would be this knife .. but I use my tools and have put this one through the ringer and she keeps coming back for more , k390 just eats cardboard for days first of all but what I really truly appreciate is the way it fits in my hand much fuller more comfortable then the sage or para 3 in my opinion and the compression lock works great , I'm guessing it would be the extra weight in the thick blade stock that tapers down with its full flat gride to a very fine sharp edge. Five stars all around, I bought it when it was over 200 and seeing it under 200 now I'm picking up a spare just to have in case or to pass down.

    Lil Temp K390

    Like a Native, without choil and better compression lock. Seki hybrid that; thumb ramp and blade width punches above its size. Thickness what .150 and got lucky with symmetrical apex on Spydie Stix at 15 degrees. Took a little while, the K390, but did tune up nicely for a pudgy little blade. National Rob ROCKS, yep.
