This Should Be Your Next Spyderco - Spyderco Lil Temperance in K390

[@Cid_1]

K390 is my favorite steel when it comes to putting in that work, and it gets a beautiful patina over time as a bonus. No problem to sharpen. Whoever thought to add Cobalt and Tungsten to 10V/A11 is a genius.

[@jordy703]

You should work at Spyderco because that knife is way to expensive but because of your review I’ve ordered it.. thx 😂

[@hificat101]

Hey Kole, if I have one ride or die knife, it's my serrated K390 Delica. They're being discontinued but they're still out there, and usually under a hundo. Seriously, get one. You wanna cut some cardboard, that's your boy right there. It cuts like a space laser. It's wild as hell.

[@Thekulprit92]

Can't go wrong with a delica or endura or police 4, or k390, my ride or die is police 4 k390

[@ElonaldTrusk]

I carry the endura wharnie in k390. I have shredded paper towels and receipts all over my counters on the reg. 😂 My wife isn't the biggest fan of k390.

[@johngoodwin2734]

I just used your link to get the lil temperance, now I'll have 4 spyderco's in K390!

[@mphil3051]

Based on your review, I ordered this knife and absolutely love it.....

[@TristateEDC]

RIGHT! it's soooo good

[@jonathanwatson268]

Manix 2 for life.

[@TheMAMBA1965]

Big lil temperance fan. The original philosophy of use of the knife gives some insight into the proportions of the knife. It was one of the OG MBC (martial blade craft) knives. Full size handle with a shorter blade making it legal in more jurisdictions. Think Emerson CQC-12. Full size handle short blade.

[@stevenlachance8576]

The police 4 in k390 has been my go to for a couple of years. The rex45 Manix is second.

[@MB-jg4tr]

Police 4 k390 is a beast and I love it.

[@JROTCBALL]

I got my first k390 this year as well, but I opted for the delica 4 w/ warrencliff blade shape.. love the lil bugger, super sharp n yah can’t beat that light weight grip.. was able to find a limited edition lynch nw that has a rising sun design on it now slapped it on it

[@kushviper]

Seems like any spyderco in K390 would be similar in cutting ability. Been wanting a Delica or something in this trim

[@BluetoothBlades]

I dont have any k390 yet😮

[@SharpLove]

If your looking for a spyderco that will cut forever then the new Sage 5 in Rex 121 is the one id say for the job lol

[@Mr.Spectaculous]

I got an Endura for 55 from Knife Center. Used my knife rewards. I'd like a delica in it.

[@jocksaphrenia6759]

Once you go ‘Spidey Hole’, you never go back. 🤙🇦🇺😀

[@dttenorio]

Hey dude what’s the song used for your outtro? K390 is rad.

[@mikereese15]

Love that little stubby blade. Konichiwa😊

[@frankduerfeld]

Have and Love it since 4 weeks.

[@Tuskevari]

Where can i buy ultem scales for this?

[@fredp1983]

Ive always imagined that to be little much like a Squeak.... that is chunky...definately not lil'

[@matthewhall8790]

Looks the part, but I'll take my Manix 2 LW. Made in America at less than half the price. I agree about the looks, Spyderco's aren't really pretty, that's why I got the Manix, I thought it had the best looks and useability and so damn sharp!

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

If I’m looking at my first knife, should I get a Lil Temperance or a Rockwall? Any thoughts from anyone.

[@TristateEDC]

I think the Lil temperance is a better all-rounder. Good for pretty much anything and everything. The Rockwall is more of a light use kind of fancy night out carry. If that makes sense.

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

@@TristateEDC Thanks Homes🤙🏼 Congrats on the TriStache!

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

Just dipping my toe in the world of knives and ya boi is struggling to pick Number 1. Of ♾️

[@gregoryblake3377]

This and the bohda

[@gasparortega8838]

Send it to Spyderco to get it resharpened

[@TristateEDC]

I got a tspro, I'm golden 👌👌👌

[@paullmight42]

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

[@K1m_Jong_Wick]

Dollar store harmonicas come in more impressive packaging than Spydercos.

[@HollywoodEDC]

That's because Spyderco produces millions of knives per year. They know they will sell most of them so they care less how they look or let alone the packaging it comes in. If your looking for high quality knives and people that care about packaging you need to buy from small American companies.

[@K1m_Jong_Wick]

@ryanlowery9081 only American manufacturers care about packaging? That's news to me.

[@mcsquirgle]

yeah I have bought knives with extremely impressive packaging (like Jack Wolf) but those knives dont make me anywhere near as happy as a Spyderco does. Id rather spend the money on heat treat and performance and steel composition then knife packaging that will likely just get thrown in a drawer. maybe some people display them, but that money still would have been better spent on the knife itself

[@K1m_Jong_Wick]

@mcsquirgle I also don't really care about packaging and would rather the cost of a knife go towards the quality and craftsmanship. Hell, I don't even like Spydercos lol

[@haakonr1]

Why put money and effort into the stuff that goes into the trash? Minimal, eco friendly packaging and zero swag. Just the knife/product, thank you.

[@MB-jg4tr]

Its overpriced

[@TristateEDC]

I gotta say... I'd rather have this than a Shaman (which is about the same price).

[@MB-jg4tr]

@@TristateEDC okay, but that's not the point. For the materials you're getting, the size compared to others of the same nature, the price is wack. Not long ago I got a Police 4 LW k390 serrated for $130 total to my door, just saying.

[@TWknives]

Skeet skeet

[@entertheFinn]

Should this be my first Spyderco?! I am a sucker for a blade like that. Weird and beautiful.

[@hificat101]

He didn't mention this in the review but it has what might be comfortable handle I own. And I have over 100 knives. It just melts in your hand. For sure Loctite the pivot though. Mine pivot screw came pretty loose, and I'm gonna blue Loctite mine before I carry it again.

[@Steve-j5t]

I own the streach 2.in k390. Amazing blade.

[@buckaroobanzai2551]

Cool Spyderco, saw it in the catalog but didn't investigate it at all. Seems really decent. Finally pinned up a Rosie yesterday, should be here Monday! 🎉🎉

[@seth_goodwin]

I’ve passed on this several times. Picked up the leaf jumper in k390 instead. Don’t see ever getting this now that I have the sage 5 lw in rex 121 coming.

[@thaknobodi]

Every Seki knife ive had needed to be loctited and screwed down a tad more. Sometimes deburring the liners or scales. Still love em all though.

[@ElonaldTrusk]

So I haven't had any seki models since like 2001 until the endura Ive been carrying. You sound like you have a lot of experience with them, I'm curious , from your experience, do they usually have a bit of lock rock? If so, have you ever been able to reduce or eliminate it? I appreciate any feedback.

[@thaknobodi]

@@ElonaldTrusk the lock rock exists in good number of the delica 4 and endura 4 models ive had, but inly when youre pushing it hard through materials. its partially a problem across many backlocks not just spyderco, and can be worrying but i do t let it bother me personally. My last Delica 4 had too little lock space ironically, you had to tap the lock spine to get it set in more but at least it has room to settle before a perfect fit

[@ElonaldTrusk]

@@thaknobodi I've only had a few back locks that didn't rock a bit.. a couple cold steels, and the native 5. The native 5 feels like it's welded, zero play even with excessive force. Im fine with it if it's expected/normal, but if it's only on a small percentage I would consider addressing it. Thanks for you time!

[@thaknobodi]

@@ElonaldTrusk tri-ad locks and the Native 5 totally agree: theyve been designed and manufacturer very well.

[@mphil3051]

When you burpped, I subscribed, Lol You are a fast talker but good reviewer of knives.

[@hificat101]

Just picked up one of those this week, and it's freaking awesome. Might have the most comfortable handle of any knife I own. You need more K390. BTW, I scored mine from SMKW on the Father's Day sale for $163. I'd wanted one for quite a while, and like you, I was like "$239? Ugh.". I think the "Lil" might be more like describing the amount of "temperance" involved than the size of the knife. Spyderco has a fixie Temperance coming out and I think I want it.

[@GatorAaron]

#1 lookit the lil guy!

[@deutschyt9368]

FOR A DEEP CARRY CLIP THAT FITS THIS: The "Model 33 Universal Pocket Clip" from knifekits

[@Rafaelinis]

K390 is my fave blade steel from Spyderco, which I currently own 13 of em. The LT3 K390 is also at the top of my list for an overall carry. Tho called a lightweight, it is built solid with great frn texture, steel liners and heavy chunk of K390!. Got mine for $155 or $170 delivered in May 2024, just got extremely lucky on the price, these are up there in dollars but such a great EDC. Thanks for the Video, keep it up!!!

[@Kutaca]

If only there were readily available parts for it, as far as I have seen no one makes screws for it, pocket clips or scales. 😢

[@CloudyShinobi]

I’ll take my sage 5 lightweight over this. That forward finger-choil just offers too much utility and ergo-goodness to pass up 🤷‍♂️

[@thaknobodi]

"Feels like a cheat code" yes thats like S90V and K390. The 9% vanadium gang

[@justinmcvay5560]

Hopefully your kids (kimchi and the pepperoni) got you a father's day gift 😂. Awesome video ❤

[@GatorAaron]

When it's been a while and you start humming the old open music and meet classical intro.

[@ADAMGILBRT82]

This vid has convinced me

[@tommyl8452]

Yep. I have one in my collection. It feels like a dinner plate in my pocket. Fit and finish is meh compared to Taiwan and US made spydercos. It desperately needs aftermarket scales. The blade is perfection tho

[@dn2610]

Awesome video! Got the G10 in S30V blade couple years ago from Knifeworks, will be getting this Temperance soon. Thanks for sharing!

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Knifecenter has the K390 endura 4 wharny for $98 right now. Totally buying one and already picked the scales for it.

[@meandi7]

Is the Magnacut you were talking about on the QC The Nine?

[@PlantDaddy1991]

Accidentally got a new Native Chief, instead.

[@jesseleep8921]

Great bit of editing dude, banger

[@kathleensmith370]

cool knife- it is on my wish list

[@HollywoodEDC]

That's the Lil home Choder. He's built stout n' thick but he's proficient at filling gaps.

[@a97b18b]

I need a pm2 in k390

[@Knife_guy]

I bought this exact knife just based on the looks because it struck me. Well I was right it checks off so many boxes of what makes a good knife. Is it perfect, NO. I’d say don’t bother with a VG-10 version one but in K390 this knife is damn good.

[@cemetarygates2800]

Honored to get a lil sippy-cup action there in the intro homie. Great vid

[@EDCandLace]

Its been one of the best daily users for a good while now! The LT is a banger.. when you can get these around 140 bucks when they do 30% off sales they are a crazy value! And thank you for stating the fact of "even 63-64rc magnacut edge retention is not good" ive been shouting it for a long time. With MC its all about the geometry if you got ultra thin geometry then it will cut for a while based strictly on sup 10thou behind the edge but the steel its self has pretty poor edge retention.

[@davidstrober2977]

Too thick too heavy too expensive and no aftermarket scales - I’ve been looking. How can u/I justify this when I can have a acid washed manix 2 lw salt for 175 at kp knives right now? Don’t trip over each over running over there now lol…Love spydie and k390 but a “lightweight” with full size steel liners? No thx

[@Rich.Staples]

seriously get rid of the little kids band-aid

[@TristateEDC]

They get sent in by viewers 🤣

[@krazy_roach1698]

Thanks Kole!.

[@malcolmholt2010]

Cheat code “I got mine for $119” on a sale from blade HQ. I love mine as well. I really wish someone would make some Al or ti scales for it though

[@Kutaca]

Hopefully it gets more popular and there is more demand, I have been on the hunt to find a maker to do a set of scales for me and most have said their just isn’t the demand so the juice isn’t the squeeze right now. If they can make a pm2 or para 3 scale, they can do the temperance, it’s very similar design, just inset liners.

[@geraldroberts4721]

Glad you like it so much. A plastic handled Spyderco?.....................no thank you.
