Spyderco Forums

a folding mule would make more sense. But it would make less sense for the program because part of testing the steels is putting them through very abusive tasks and the last thing you do with a folder, especially a lightweight, is a very abusive task. Yes, they'd sell a lot more, but how much would...

I was making the comparison because you mentioned you're only after extreme cutting now.

I'm surprised you're looking forward to BD1N after having written off S30V and S35VN. It's impossible to really say how it will perform exactly, without knowing how hard they're running it. That makes all the difference. But don't count on it out-cutting S30V.

No Spydie drop option. I thought that was kind of popular.

sounds like you would be happier with the LW Para 3

FYI for anyone that was balking at the $211 price of the Lil Temperance 3... CutleryShoppe, Walmart, and Amazon have had it for $147.36 for the last few months. I just got one from Walmart and it's great. I assume Walmart and Amazon are just price-matching CutleryShoppe while their deal lasts?

I used to be like him. I viewed a knife just like I viewed other tools like a screwdriver, hammer, wrench, etc. Would you ever pay $150 or more for a screwdriver? Probably not and you'd probably think someone that does is crazy. But now here I am.... having just bought a $200+ Lil Temperance 3. Not ...

Looking at the bottom picture, I think you're good because of this.... is the edge of the top half of the opening hole knocked down, yet the bottom half is very crisp and almost feels sharp? If so, you probably have a real Tenacious. I haven't heard of fakes with that trait. And yea, my Tenacious's ...

Well, at least they've managed to consolidate the inquiries, going from "When's that knife coming?" to "When's the reveal coming?" It has literally traded one set of questions for another. Maybe you guys are just joking, but I don't see those as being the same at all. "When...

That's a knife I'm surprised you never see or hear anything about.

Outside of this forum, the Manix LW is one of the most talked about Spyderco models.

Polestar and Alcyone should be with the Tenacious family.

Contacting customer service will be your best option.

Also, I think the screws are LC200N, which is the same steel as the blade. They aren't titanium.

The Polestar is $16 more (going on Blade HQ prices), but you get nicer G10 handles, and the liner is a bit thicker. Are you sure about that? You might be thinking of the Tenacious's thicker liner. The Polestar has fairly thin liners. I can't imagine a knife with a liner lock going even thinner than...

I assume the Emphasis will be made in China? Looks like a budget liner lock Native Chief. I think it'll do well.

The Endela just might be my first FRN Spyderco. The Delica was too small and the Endura was too big. I love that they haven't succumbed to the new fad of choils with this model. If there is enough handle for a full grip, a choil is not necessary, IMO. And I don't know anybody with 6 fingers on one h...

Ahhhhh that makes sense. The picture just wasn't updated. And I didn't notice the VG-10 difference as well. Thanks for that explanation.

All of the videos I have seen on people handling the Lil Temperance 3 show the knife with a black clip. But some places, including KnifeCenter, show the knife with a silver stainless clip. I've never seen one like that outside of those few retailer pictures. It even appears to be shorter than the bl...

Any idea on a release date?

At SHOT Show, Eric had the Bow River on the table and said "we're going to deliver all of this stuff by May".

I'd really like to see the Caribbean leaf blade and Lil Temp lined up if anyone has both.

Sounds like you're having the same dilemma as me. I'm leaning towards the Lil Temperance.
