Made the stem the same length and diameter as ...

Re: Fake Lil'Temperance 3 LW


Hello, a member of our French Spyderco Fan Club just shared pictures with us, saying that even this model has been counterfeited in China.

Yeah they really went all in on fakes lately. Even the Enuff 2 and Centofante have fakes out there. Screenshot_20241120-202802~2.png
