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!

A Reliable, High-Gloss Detailer That Delivers Professional Results Every Time
Style: Last Touch Spray Detailer - 1 Gal, Style: Last Touch Spray Detailer - 1 Gal
Meguiar’s Last Touch Spray Detailer has become one of the most dependable products in my detailing setup. After using it extensively on multiple vehicles, I can confidently say this detailer offers excellent performance, strong versatility, and outstanding value for anyone who details regularly or professionally. The gloss and finish it provides are consistently impressive. It gives the paint a clean, slick, high-gloss look without feeling oily or artificial. On darker colors—where streaks are usually a challenge—Last Touch wipes off cleanly and evenly. The finish looks polished and refined, making it ideal for final wipe-downs before delivery or photography. One of its biggest advantages is versatility. It works extremely well as a quick detailer for removing light dust, fingerprints, and water spots, but it also functions as an excellent clay bar lubricant. When diluted 1:1 (for the concentrated version), it provides smooth glide and reduces the risk of marring. When used at full strength, it delivers maximum shine with minimal effort. The ability to use one product for multiple steps adds a lot of convenience to any detailer’s workflow. It has a mild, pleasant scent and buffs out effortlessly without smearing on glass or trim. It’s also very effective as a drying aid after a wash, helping prevent water spots while adding noticeable gloss. The gallon size is a major value point and lasts a long time, especially for professionals or frequent users. However, it is important to double-check the product description before purchasing, as there is potential for confusion between the concentrated version and the ready-to-use version. When I purchased mine, the photo on Amazon showed the concentrated gallon, which can be diluted, but what I received was the ready-to-use version, which cannot be diluted the same way. The seller never responded to my messages, but Amazon eventually issued me a refund. This does not reflect on the quality of the Meguiar’s product itself, but customers should be attentive to the listing details to ensure they receive the version they expect. Overall, Meguiar’s D15501 Last Touch Spray Detailer is a high-performing, professional-grade product that consistently delivers excellent results. Whether used as a quick detailer, a clay lubricant, or a finishing spray to enhance gloss, it excels in every application. Highly recommended for both weekend enthusiasts and professional detailers—just be sure to verify which version of the product you are purchasing.

It ensures that I have plenty of product on hand to use whenever needed without worrying about running out quickly. The performance of the Last Touch Spray Detailer is exceptional. It does an excellent job of removing light dust, fingerprints, and smudges from the vehicle's surface. Not only does it clean effectively, but it also leaves a glossy, streak-free finish that enhances the car's appearance. I appreciate that this product is versatile. It can be used as a final touch after a full car wash, as a quick detailer between washes, or even as a clay bar lubricant. It's a versatile solution that has saved me time and effort in my detailing routine. One of the standout features of the Meguiar's D15501 is its pleasant scent. Unlike some detailing products with overpowering chemical odors, this one leaves a subtle and refreshing fragrance that adds to the overall experience.

Great Detailer Spray
Style: Last Touch Spray Detailer - 1 Gal
I've been using this product for many years. Was turned on to it by a professional detailer. Easy to use in your own spray bottle and cheaper buying in bulk than by the bottle. The detail spray works great getting off bird poop and dead bugs off your car. Just spray on and wait a minute to soak in and then wipe off. Great for touching up your car in between waxes.
