Any news on the Ti lil Temp ?

[westfork]

I can't picture a better handle than the existing Lil'T. I like the idea of deeply reliefed G-10 scales in foliage green, navy blue, or desert sand.

We have not abandoned the Lil' Temperance. The design has been refined. It's a little thinner (Sorry, Westfork). The bumps have been smoothed to permit more grip potential.

The model was disco'd for lack of a good maker. We had planned to make it in Golden, but we're pretty busy right now.

I will be speaking to a maker with the capability and capacity shortly.
While we're on the subect:

6AL4V Titanium
G-10 (color?)
Carbon Fiber
Aluminum
Stainless Steel
FRN (3D or flat)
Other

Please let me know first and second choice.

1. i still dont have one so as its my favorite handle i will plump for g-10 in a diffrent color tan would be cool (i am in the desert) but i am not really bothered i just want a lil temp

2. any of the other materials on this would just mean that it is bought for the collection and not to use apart from maybe the FRN so if its not g-10 then it doesnt really matter to me

Handle
* G-10
* Carbon Fiber (peel-ply)
* Ti (if it's an intregal compression frame lock)

Blade Steel
* S30V
* BG-42
* M4

Should be an impressive evolution to an awesome design. I'm looking forward to it. The original design is still cutting-edge.

Glad to see this post back up top. It's good to know people are still interested in the project. :D

Scales:

Choice one: Mammoth bark ivory

Choice two: G-10 with nested liners (hopefully for nested Compression Lock or midlock)

Blade:

Choice one: AEB-L hardened to RC65 with care to eliminate all retained austenite

Choice two: Nearly any high-hardness Hitachi hochogane nestled between two sheets of low-carbon 400-series (i.e. 410, 420J2) steel. ZDP-189, Shirogane Super, and Aogane Super all make me happy.
