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!

Epic!!!!
Format: Kindle
Absolutely addicted from the first page. The twists and turns, world building and character development all come together for the perfect Omegaverse. And let's not forget that spice because knots are life and these are spectacular. Running for book #2 because that cliffhanger was torturous.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.
