Story

The Lil’ Temperance™ Lightweight is a powerhouse cutting tool and the latest chapter in a long evolutionary history. Although rooted in Martial Blade Craft design, it provides reliable, full-service performance for any cutting task. 

To elevate that performance even further, this expression of it features a blade crafted from Böhler-Uddeholm, K390 MICROCLEAN®, a state-of-the-art particle metallurgy tool steel formulated to withstand the rigors of the most demanding industrial applications. Full-flat ground from thick 4mm (0.157-inch) stock, the PlainEdge™ blade of this knife is supported by skeletonized stainless steel liners that form the foundation of its high-strength Compression Lock® mechanism.

The liners are nested within injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales that feature a Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a secure, non-slip grip. Molded in the signature blue color of Spyderco’s elite family of K390 knives, the scales are also home to a broad-based four-position clip that supports all possible carry preferences.

This model also comes with a more economical VG-10 blade steel option.

Notes

The Lil Temperance 3 is one of the most underrated models in Spyderco's lineup in my opinion. One of the interesting things about it is that the blade stock is a chunky 4mm (the fan favorites Shaman and PM2 have 3.7mm, for reference) so I like to describe this thing as a mini-Shaman. Unlike the Shaman though, there is a small thumb ramp and the edge goes all the way to the handle so there's no risk of snags and no "nub" to bump your finger when when closing the blade. Like the Shaman, it also features a compression lock, though the action is not quite as smooth as what you'd be used to with the USA models. 

The handle ergos are also pretty good, as you would expect from Spyderco. It fills the hand quite well and the bi-directionally textured FRN scales provide excellent grip. Like the other models in the Temperance line, the LT3's scale features a dimple in the middle to serve as both a landing for the clip and an indexing point (to enhance muscle memory). Supporting the scales are nested steel liners, so it feels plenty rigid (notable if you feel like the Para 3 LW wasn't rigid enough, but the Sage 5 LW was).

This model is especially worth recommending in 2025 after the significant price drop that it saw earlier this year. The VG-10 version costs exactly half as much as the S30V Shaman does and the K390 version is still ~$100 less!

Excellent Ergonomic Chair

I am incredibly impressed with this chair. The setup was a breeze and took me less than 20 minutes from start to finish. It is exceptionally comfortable, offering fantastic ergonomic support that keeps my back pain-free during long hours of sitting. The materials feel premium and highly durable. Plus, the included 5-year warranty is incredibly helpful and provides great peace of mind. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable workspace upgrade!

I am very happy with this office chair. It was easy to assemble, feels sturdy, and is very comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. The ergonomic design provides good back support, and the adjustable features make it easy to find the perfect position. The mesh back keeps me cool throughout the day, and the chair rolls smoothly. Overall, it offers great quality for the price and has made working at my desk much more comfortable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable office chair. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great Chair! Worth the Price!
Color: Sky Blue, Size: Pack of 1
LOVE my new desk chair! I got the Sky Blue which is a really pretty blue in person. I work from home in tech, and had been getting constant headaches no matter what position I was in. I finally decided to invest in a better desk chair, and I'm SO glad I did! It's much more supportive and comfortable. I really like that I can flip the arms up or down, and the height is easy to adjust. Also, because I can flip the arms up, I can keep the chair out of the way when I'm not working by putting it right up against the desk. Very much worth the price! Assembly was simply and quick. Not even 30 minutes. Also, when I had a question about the chair, their support team was quick to respond and very helpful. Highly recommend!

Great quality chair, regardless of price.
Color: Black+white, Size: Pack of 1, Color: Black+white, Size: Pack of 1
Great quality chair, regardless of the price, period. So well packaged that it took almost as long to unwrap as assemble. Assembly was easy (loved the Allen wrench with sturdy handle). I am 6'2" and the fit and height adjustments work well for my height. Comfort is personal, so I like the semi-firmness of the seat. While the chair is constructed of heavy gauge plastic the base is solid metal with enamel finish: I love the look. The arm rests line up perfectly to my computer keyboard. I expect many, many years of service.

Great Value for a Comfortable Home Office Chair
Color: Black, Size: Pack of 1, Color: Black, Size: Pack of 1
I’ve been using this chair for a couple of days now, and honestly, it’s been a solid upgrade from my old one. I work from home most days, so comfort matters a lot—and this chair delivers better than I expected for the price. The first thing I noticed was the lumbar support. It’s actually adjustable and makes a noticeable difference, especially if you tend to sit for long stretches. My lower back used to get sore after a few hours, but that hasn’t really been an issue since switching to this chair. The mesh back is also a nice touch—it keeps things breathable, which I didn’t think I’d care about until I had it. Assembly was pretty straightforward. Took me maybe 20–25 minutes without any frustration. Everything lined up well, and the instructions were clear enough. In terms of comfort, the seat is firm but not hard. It doesn’t feel like one of those super plush chairs, but I actually prefer that because it feels more supportive over time. The reclining feature is smooth, and I like that you can lean back a bit when you need a break. Overall, I’d say this is a great value for a home office setup. If you want something ergonomic and comfortable without spending a fortune, this chair is definitely worth considering.
