Spyderco Knives | Knifehub.com
 
The Spyderco Lil' Temperance 3 Lightweight (model: C69SBK3) is a high-performance folding knife designed by Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser. This knife draws from his extensive experience in personal-defense and martial arts, offering a refined blend of cutting-edge technology, ergonomic design, and a compact yet durable blade. The Lil' Temperance 3 Lightweight continues the legacy of the Lil' Temperance series with innovative enhancements that make it the ideal choice for everyday carry and self-defense.
 
Evolution of the Lil' Temperance Series
Originally introduced in 2001, the Lil' Temperance was designed as a multi-functional tool for both utility and personal-defense. Sal Glesser’s designs have always emphasized the balance of form and function, with a strong focus on Martial Blade Craft. The Lil' Temperance 3 Lightweight takes this ethos to the next level with improved features, a VG-10 stainless steel blade, and fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales for increased durability and comfort.
 
Key Features of the Lil' Temperance 3 Lightweight
The 2.92" leaf-shaped blade of the Lil' Temperance 3 Lightweight is full-flat ground from VG-10 stainless steel, ensuring an excellent balance of strength, cutting performance, and edge retention. The satin-finished blade offers a refined and corrosion-resistant surface, while the serrated edge (SpyderEdge) provides added cutting power, making it perfect for slicing through tough materials.
One of the highlights of this model is the ergonomically designed FRN handle, featuring Bi-Directional Texturing for superior grip, especially in challenging environments or high-stress situations. The FRN handle is not only lightweight but also offers greater control and a more secure grip, making it suitable for personal-defense scenarios.
 
The Compression Lock mechanism delivers rock-solid lock-up strength, while the four-position pocket clip gives you versatile carry options (tip-up or tip-down, left or right-hand). The handle also includes a lanyard hole for easy customization, and the overall weight is an impressive 3.81 oz., making it both lightweight and highly functional.
