oooh, that looks awesome
i am going to have to see if i can find some steelmoney laying around to get one of those
i love my old temp, and that looks so much nicer.
eeek - just saw the price, with the current exchange rate, i cant really justify that (nearly $500)

As far as I can tell without actually doing so, yes. The hole spacing should work with the large Tek-Lok like the one on the first Temperance.

Congrat Yab, the Temp2 looks awesome indeed.

Yab - Nice pics and review. That knife looks sweet!!!

Thanks for the info. Forgot to say "thanks" in the previous post for the review and pics, so "thanks"!

Thanks for the great pictures.

The Temperance 2 is really a work of art.
Form and function both successfully optimized.

Hey yab you need a manicure :D

My new Temperance 2 arrived today. My initial impression is so good that my words would be inadequate, especially compared to yablanowitz's fine photos. I will post more thoughts later; but I have to point out the handle's beautiful execution. While the previous Temperance was a great knife, its thick handle precluded discreet carry--at least for me. This new one is slim but amazingly ergonomic; and beautiful as well. It's definitely worth the price I paid.

Congratulations to Mr. Glesser and all the great folks at Spyderco for yet another fine, fine blade.

Excellent pics and useful commentary. I really really want one :)

To Sal - I think this looks like a winner. I can't say enough about how responsive spyderco is to customer feedback. I liked the original Temp but was one of the guys that the original handle just did not fit. Looking forward to the new version - looks like a keeper in all respects.

Great pics Yab. The large teck-lock holes are 1 1/2" apart center to center. The G-Clip is 1" so it would need a little mod but not much. Thanks for the comments on the sheath, I think they turned out nicely with a very secure fit.
I am always open for comments or suggestions on ways to improve my Sheaths. Glad you like it and thanks.

Scotts Sheaths

The Tek-Loks I had available to check have slots that could be used to attach to the sheath using existing holes. The one on my Temp I sheath shown actually has one screw run though one of the grommets holding the sheath together, so I bet the existing holes would work just fine.

You did a good job on the sheath. :)

Yep it will. The hole is a bit bigger for the G-clip but will still work. Also the distance from the top rivit and the bottom hole for the G-clip is 1 1/2" you could use both those for a more secure fit. Thanks again.

What do you guys think would make a better basic camping knife - the TII or Bushcraft? Basic needs - cooking uses, kindling, etc.

Well, I'm pretty sure the T II will out-cut a picture of a Bushcraft, which is all we have so far.

The Bushcraft may prove superior for woodwork (after all, that is what it is designed for) but I predict the Temperance II will be better for food prep and general chores.

Just ordered T2. Love my bushcraft. I sleep with a Moran under my pillow.

Haha, my Temperance 2 arrived last week. I use it as a kitchen knife and it does the job very well. Nice clean design, the handle feels and looks great too.
