Product Description
The Spyderco Lil' Temperance™ 3 Lightweight is a compact, overbuilt folder designed by co-founder Sal Glesser to deliver the ruggedness of a fixed blade in a pocket-friendly format. This latest evolution swaps traditional G-10 for injection-molded FRN, creating a high-performance tool that is significantly lighter without sacrificing the legendary durability the series is known for.
The 2.92" leaf-shaped blade is precision-ground from VG-10 stainless steel and features a full-length SpyderEdge™. This aggressive serration pattern provides significantly more cutting surface area, allowing the blade to "bite" into and power through tough, fibrous materials with ease. At 0.157" (4mm) thick, the blade offers incredible lateral strength. The Black FRN handle is molded with Bi-Directional Texturing™ for a non-slip grip, while nested stainless steel liners provide the foundation for Spyderco's high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism.
