I have posted this comment elsewhere on this forum, but I'd like to underline what Sal said about QC: I have a micarta SPOT. It is like the others, rough finish on the inside of the cut-outs. With all due respect to collectors and others, as a user, I don't see this as a quality problem. Appearance ...

thanks for the tip. I should probably do a more complete check. I'm glad to hear others have had positive experience with this knife.

I've been carrying my Lil Temp for a couple weeks now and still pretty happy with it. I've been carrying it IWB with clip partly under my belt, to the right of the middle of my back, and as long as there is clothing underneath it, there isn't any rubbing and I don't notice it too much. I decided to ...

lil temp as EDC

well, I couldn't stop looking at the Lil Temp (drop point), so I finally bought one. I wanted a sturdy EDC(and potential SD) but with a 3" or less blade. I was worried that the LT would be too chunky to ride comfortably and that my hand would not like it, but decided to take a chance. My impres...

Two more things I forgot to mention: blade shape provides a very good place for thumb if you use that type of fencing grip - very good for fine control of tip, and blade pressure. The little ridges cut on the thumb area of the blade (does that have an anatomical name?) are a good idea. sheath - have...

big temperance - initial review

Just got a temperance fixed blade yesterday. I haven't had much time to play with it yet (yeah, I know, don't play with knives... <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> ). First and least: Spyderco you should correct your webpage. It gives the dimensions as ~ 4.5&quo...

thanks for the suggestions. I'll see how they hold up with my sharpening attempt (got one of those nifty spydie sharpmakers too). It appears all of the utility knives have tooth decay, but they still cut ok. We have some other knives in the knife block, but I think the only ones that ever get out ar...

kitchen knives for lazy people

kitchen knives don't enter our minds much (unless you're a pro, maybe). I have had an almost complete set of the spydie kitchen knives for a long time. Yesterday I was attempting to slice an overripe tomato with one of my small utility kitchen knives and it didn't cut at first, just pressed a dent i...

thanks for the info. I guess that'll give me something to look forward to! This may be old hat to you folks, but I've never planned a knife purchase that far in advance before. But it does give me a good excuse (yes I'll feel better if I have a good excuse) to buy an "interim" <img src=&qu...

how does the lil temp ride ?

hi, I'm looking for a medium folder (3-3 1/2" blade) for EDC utility use. My current EDC is a relatively new Delica which I really like, but I want something a bit, uh (searching for word), sturdier. I like lightweight folders (such as the Delica, and the dragonfly I recently lost <img src=&quo...
