Is there a deep carry pocket clip for the Lil Temperance 3 with FRN scales?
 
When I was looking for one for my G10 version, LynchNW and MXG confirmed the hole spacing on their Native 5 clip (the one with the hole pattern most similar to the Lil Temp 3) was different from what I measured on the LT3. There was one clip I found on knifekits.com however that will fit. Can't remember the model number, but you'll want the one with 0.500" hole spacing. It's not super deep carry but it is lower than the factory clip by a good amount.

Please keep us updated on how it fits Murindo! I've been casually searching for a deep carry option for my LT3 as well.. I really like the retention of the stock clip and how it feels in hand, but it does ride pretty high.. my worry is how/where that knifekits clip will engage with the indexing divot. I'm interested to see how it looks.. for the money, it seems well worth trying out!
 
Here's a comparison photo of the knifekits clip as well as my custom solution (sorry not selling). Unfortunately the knifekits clip will overshoot the indexing divot, but no big deal imo. This is the only Spyderco I have with that so I'm used to not using/having one anyway. Don't have one with the standard clip, but I suppose you guys can just compare to your existing ones for now.

Also, don't know if anyone saw the Spyderco reveal 12 released (today?), but the Lil Temp 3 LW will be coming in K390 steel! Gonna be grabbing one of those for sure.

The Clip on the Lil' Temperance is a dedicated clip purpose designed and built for that model.

The K390 had me curious..
Took a peek at it.. Until I saw the price.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 NO!!!:thumbsdown:
I dont know about others.. But I have no buried Mason jars full of money in my back yard!! 🤔
Todays prices make me cherish the dozen or so Spydercos I already own!! ;)

Yeah it's pretty up there but I've seen new old stock g10 versions going for around the same price or more and those are "only" s30v. Well, hoping they release at one vendor that i have a good amount of rewards points saved up at :)
 
I'm glad I haven't snagged a Lil Temp 3 lightweight yet. I'll pick up one of these as soon as they hit retailers.
I have three of the original models and two of the Lil Temp 2 G-10s. I love this design. You can tell lots of thought and experience went into the design.
 
To close this out, I got the Knife Kits clip installed today and it fits perfectly. I'm happy with the results.
