And it is all true.

And it is all true about the 'other' Lil' Temperance, the rhino/duck/upswept/bowie version.

Great knife.

Which version do you like better?

 

[Marion David Poff]

I almost like the Rhino better.

But, that may be because it is newer.

They are both very cool.

Oh yeah, I was gonna mention....

The clip on my Rhino is switched to the butt end, which puts it in a great position to fill the palm.

But with the clip on the other end, the middle digit of your index finger rests on the screws of the clip, indexing off the bend in the clip with your thumb in the thumbprint on the front side for a very good horizontal grip. Which gives one a good grip for a nice counter-knife technique.

I think the difference in the two is based on style.

Drop Point for point and drag work.

Rhino for more edge work.

But, that could be my initial impressions only.

The Rhino version is great. I really enjoy the tip on mine. It seems to do fine jobs well but also has alot of strength to it.
