I GOT MINE!


OK... so I was at the SFO last week & picked up a SE :p

Sorry.

I bit the CC bullet (big time) & now I have a PE on the way. I'll let y'all know when it arrives. :)

Do these L'il Ts have the stop pin with the Torx screw, or are they the version with the stop pin that has no screw to hold it in place?

It is the latest version, that being the one that doesn't need screws for the stop pin. ;)

Picture on the website shows torx screws, so I'm assuming that's what I'll get. Is there a difference structurally? On a slight tangent; what shipping carrier does the SFO use? I'd like to track my order, but I do not know where to look. Also, the website as of the time of this posting shows the PE leaf blade still in stock.
*Edit* tracked her with UPS. She'll be here Wednesday!

My new SE has no screw.
I didn't know there were 2 versions until I looked at an old pic of a "Rhino" Lil' Temp that I used to own.

Yup. Here's mine from this batch.

Sorry about the quality. I also like natural lighting (with a tripod) but I snapped these with my wife's point & shoot.

Is the new Lil T also going to be available in the "Trailing Point" ( Rhino HORN) blade?

Also is the new Lil T going to still be made in Golden Colorado?

I don't know, these are old stock, in case there is some confusion.

The new ones are leaf blade. I posted a pic of my OLD Rhino just to show the old screw location.

Sorry for the confusion.

If there is no play, then no. I bought and received 2 NIB L'il T SE blades a few months ago for $230 shipped for the pair. Pretty excited until I received them and found both knives had a great deal of vertical play. So, I sent them back to have them tuned up at Spyderco. After a month of waiting Amanda informed me that they could not be repaired and furthermore both knives were deemed to be too dangerous to even be sold as seconds. Basically there is zero adjustability with the non-Torx version. There is only a stop pin held in place by the liners. If you get a good one, then great. For me, I prefer the slight bit of adjustment potential with the screw version of the stop pin...

These are old recycled pics, but we wouldn't want the villagers to get restless waiting for daylight...

This was a batch of unfinished old stock at the factory. The Li'l Temp is still discontinued, it's not a reintroduction of the model.
