Hi Gang! I really like both of these folders, 'Lil Temp 3 and the 100 Pacer!
Who's in for one of each?
I would love to see the LT3 offer in Green or Green/Tan G10.

I know im definatly in for the lil temp. So many great knives from Spyderco this year! And the ones they brought back were the ones that should have came back, and now they are better then ever (lil temp/police for example). You can definatly tell they have been listening to there fans. Ive heard so many people mention that the police needs a choil and there it is.

I really dig the 100 pacer too. Might be a bit broad to carry for my taste, but definatly like it. The D'Allara, lt3, and opus i think have my attention the most right now.
I cant think of one i dont like this year.
 
Whoa! We got a hit!
Thanks, Sig.
I always liked the Lil Temp, a lot, but I like 3 better. Examples; Nicer handle design, basic pocket clip and round stop-pin. :D
I'd like to handle and pocket the 100P first. As you stated, it's wide.
Thanks!
 
Never dealt with the previous LT's but the 3 does look like the best out of the bunch. Same thing with the D'Allara 3, never owned one, but the 3 looks like it would be my favorite. Spydies are always getting better ;)
 
The Hole makes substantial better.
The Chinnook always caught my Bowie eye.

I'm in for the Opus. I've always had a soft spot for the Endura. I see this as a new and improved version as I prefer liner locks versus lock backs.
 
When I first saw that 'Lil Temp 3 (LT3) in s30v assumed I would be in on this one as a sub 3"er for those jurisdictions with sub-three-inch codes.

Then I saw the price ..., ($319.95 msrp).
Any ideas as to why msrp is over $100 more than a PM2 in s30v, $120 more than PM3, and significantly more than even a much larger Millie?
It can not be that expensive to ship blade steel to Japan ...?

I understand/assume expected sales will be lower on this model, and this generally means higher price than higher production run models, but wondering if there is some significance (features, function, materials, construction quality) that I am simply missing on this one?
 
I think I might pick up a 100 Paces, it has a really interesting look. This isn't gonna be a good year for my wallet. I really hope the Caribbeans drop this year too.
 
Good question, Spey!
Sal may bop in and answer it. I just really like the Lil Temp design, the 3 better than the original.
The 100P is all business.
Thanks, gang.

ugh. Both!! My wallet is cringing because these are not the only ones!
I still have the original 440V LT that I mod'd the handle because the finger grooves did not match my hand very well. The LT3 looks like what I did to my LT! The 100P looks great too. ugh.
 
The T3 is 191$ at KC. It does look nice the more I see it. Now i want the lil t, chinook, atr, and karahawk. It will not happen but I can dream.

Click to expand...

Thicker stock s30v + thicker g10 + new tooling for production + smaller run = higher production cost. At least my understanding.
