I really liked this one at Blade Show. A must buy for me.
Was it lined?
Want to say it had skeletonized liners like on the Delica.
I hope you’re right, given this model’s MBC claim.

Sample was VG-10, but as I understand, production is S30V.

I believe so. Maybe not quite full liners, but I'm not certain.

Would have preferred VG10 if it kept the cost down. I personally love VG10

In the video, Eric states clearly it's VG10. He also states there is a liner that goes all the way around. Now I'm not sure if he means there's liners on both sides. I'm guessing it's going to be a lot like the Sage 5 LW but again that's a guess.

I'm curious to see the Lil' Temperance 3 LW and the Leaf Jumper side by side.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

I just hope the LW version has "drop shut" action. Always had a hard time closing the G10 version one-handed.

i'm so confused about how this all works with these reveals... we're still waiting on knives that were revealed, but spyderco is winning awards for knives that haven't officially been revealed and there are already production versions of others that haven't been revealed. are the military 2 and lil temp 3 lw considered revealed now even though they weren't in the reveal? are we going to see these before we see the swick or the ayoob or the subway bowie, etc.?

Lil’ Temperance Lightweight at $150+ is way too much for VG-10, FRN and Compression Lock considering Para3 Lightweight with BD1N, FRN and Compression Lock is only $115.50! Even the Sage5 Lightweight with S30V, FRN and Compression Lock is $141.05. I’m hoping the Lil’ Temperance Lightweight will be around $125.

Literally just needed to update the pocket clip on the original and it would have been perfect as is. I hope the FRN is available in OG green like the one in this photo.

I also hope the green color returns but i do not think it will. And since the last version was black g10 i fear it will be black frn.

Very interesting, almost looks like it has some slight contouring to the FRN. If so I'm all over this one. This is the knife I keep thinking would be so perfect in an XL version, I absolutely love the handle and how close the edge is to the grip.
Isn't the Caribbean *super* close to being an XL version of this knife?

minus contoured frn scales, which i think david is saying he's most excited about. i know he's praised the d'allara for a long time wishing for more models with contoured frn.

The scales look flat to me. The edges are contoured but it does not appear to have any sort of palm swell or crowning.

Yep this. The Caribbean is more or less an XL version of this, that's why I bought it over the G10 Lil Temp. But, I like how beefy this one is and I have an odd love for FRN...I don't like it on models where I'd need to grind on the handle to change the shape, for that I prefer G10 but on a handle that fits my hand I rather like it.
