lil' temp

[gull wing]

Lil' Temp has not been in my rotation for quite a while (no excuses), but i've carried the old frend with me this week.
I am reminded of how much I like it.
Yes, it is not the most beautiful knife around and it is a little heavy, but there isn't a knife in my drawer that is more comfortable in my hand. This knife fits so well, even with heavy cutting, there is no hand pain.
The compression lock is secure and easy to operate. The short stubby blade is a joy to use.
I have better looking knives (the Mili) but for me the Temp is a work of art.

I'll second that! I got one of these for a week in a pass-around courtesy of DaveH, and I was very impressed. Aside from a little bit of play in the lock, it's one of the most solid and hand filling knives I've ever used. Sal is a genius for design.

I agree fully. I've carried mine for well over a year now. It's a very heavy use blade that can travel virtually everywhere (except those cursed areas w/ 2.5" blade ordinances). It rides well in jeans and fits perfectly in the small inner pocket on Docker's with the clip removed. The design, materials and manufacturing methods are all first rate. I highly recommend them. Heck, I even followed my own advice on this one. I ended up buying both blade styles.

If I could only keep one knife it would be a toss up between the Lil' Temperance and my small classic wood inlay sebenza. I'd probably try to cheat and keep both.

This is going to be one of my next knife purchases. The very next will be the Grey FRN Calypso Jr., but this knife will be after that. I love fully flat ground blades. *drool*
