Which Lil Temperance Model Do You Prefer

[SpydercoKnut]

They make two versions of this knife. The first model has the leaf point blade and the other is the trailing point model. Which one do you prefer? I personally think the trailing point version is more of a self defense knife then a real cutter. I could be wrong. You win either way because this is a good knife.

Nut - I have yet to be able to make a personal evaluation, but I do have an order for the leaf blade model in the pipeline from <font color=blue"><b><i>Fair Lady GlassHartt</font color=blue"></b></i>

I certainly will let y'all know when it finally comes in. Prolly won't have to post for you to know, either. <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I have the leaf blade and just can't say enough good things about it.It's my favorite Spyderco and the best folder that I've ever owned.

I received a Trailing Point Lil' Temp last week, I like it but I would prefer the Mod. Spear Point. Everything is GREAT on this Spydie, but I just can't get used to the blade style and think that the Leaf blade would be much better for me.

Luckily, I have one of the Leaf blade Lil' Temps on order with our Lady Glasshartt....they are still hard to get a hold of, from what I hear. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I have the Leaf design and am very happy with it. In fact, I liked it so much, that I bought the Bob Lum Chinese knife.

The leaf design puts a tremendous amount of heft and muscle in the smallest possible package.

I now find myself splitting my carry time between the Leaf Lil Temperance and my Military.

Having to make this choice makes my head hurt.

One way or the other, you pay for your tools!

I have the trailing point. I got a heck of a deal on it - and even though I wanted the leaf blade, it was too good to pass up.

When I first got it, I didn't know if I would keep it.

It's a very unusual blade shape. From pictures, it looks weak, and prone to breaking.

However, in reality, its a thick blade that is pretty darned strong. And, it cuts very, very well.

It takes a while to get used to.

Now I am very attached to it. I think it is probably one of the best folding knives ever built.

And, I don't want the leaf blade version anymore. Sure - it's probably great too - but the trailing point is darned near perfect.

I will be prefering the Lil´T. with trailing point, since that is what KBR traded with me!! I love my Chinook, so I´m really looking forward to this one!!
