Lil' Temperance2 - discussion

Awesome news on the new Lil' Temp 2! The original is one of the most innovative folder designs I've ever seen. I still carry an upswept blade Lil' Temp and a leafpoint Lil' Temp. Just an incredible folder.
I'm looking forward to it being manufactured in Japan. Should be interesting to pair it up with one of the older models.
Oh yeah, wire clip please.

There is no better knife than the Lil'Temp vs. 1.0. Not to say it could not be improved. Most of my concerns seem to have already been identified by the Spyder crew. My biggest issue was the BIG CHUNKY handle. A LIl'Temp in pocket means no access to that pocket.sal wrote:We have a concept model that we'll show at the Blade Magazine show for input.

I look forward to the LilTemp II.
Not really all that slick

Sal, thanks for keeping the 4-way clip.
I know I've been pretty vocal on this so far, but this is meant for serious use more than just cutting open the mail. The choice of tip-up/tip-down gives many of us more options and allows us to use it just like the original.

Sal your why i love spyderco so much you interact with your customers and let them guide the design of the knife.
my 2 cents for this design is to have orange g10

I love the Lil Temp even more than the Para.
However, it would not be a Lil Temp with a blade that is not 4mm thick and with a much different handle than the original. Of course it should retain the Comp Lock, the wire clip is acceptable.
Steelwise, I would of course prefer S90V to VG-10, but here is a suggestion: since it will be made in Seki, why not ZDP?

I was a bit worried about the handle changes. When I handled the prototype in June, I was sold. The handle is changed, but it is very ergonomic and is definitely a Temperance. My question now is just "when can I buy a Rhino version?"

I am really looking forward to this knife - hoping to see a picture sometime soon. I would love to have a Lil Temp, and I think the '2' will be an improvement and a lot to easier to get my hands on. I hope there is a large lanyard hole regardless of whether hourglass or wire clip is used. I am hoping for non-black G-10. Foliage green would be great, but a new color would be awesome too.
