I think there is a lot of hand labour associated with the manufacture of this blade. That is the word from Sal and the Spyderco forums. I think that accounts from some of the price.
7:40 You don't need to remove the scale because they are epoxied to the blade. No salt water is ever going to go under the scale. The pins are only there for strength.
If you are concerned about rust, pins and epoxy is better. The handle surface is sealed from moisture and oxygen.
Screwed handle are only good for customization or replacement. Like you, i prefer screws, but i don't think rust is a valid point against pined handles.
Nutn' I'm a maker... I can tell you the total material cost in that Temp 2 is probably around 60$, and that's including the labor for manufacturing. The price comes from 100% markup at both the retail and wholesale level, so you can usually count on paying three to four times the manufacturers cost. VG-10 is actually pretty cheap when compared to American steels.
This may not be a blade for all but it's definitely not high priced but I know it's not high value either, the price is decent you get a great sheath and a big chunk of VG10 just shy of 5" blade 4mm 0.16" thick, micarta handle, beautifully finished.
When the closest alternatives are Chris Reeve Nyala, BRKT stainless models, custom shops, etc...
FYI pinned handles are glued/epoxy or sealed, although I understand the preference of removable
@terahybrid forgot to add that Fallkniven close alternatives would be the SK series, Tre series, idun series or the HK series all of those more expensive than Temperance 2
this knife is ground on a machine i used to work in a machine shop that used a surface grinder that could accomplish this without distempering the steel.
( notice the circular swipe next to the handle this comes from the circular grinding stone) so my comment is that machine made should equal mass quantity and lower costs the only other problems this knife has is shallow jimping and should have solid tang this will not change the balance enough to notice.
I love Nutnfancy's reviews, but don't go thinking that the Gerber is the same thing as the Spyderco. They might function the same way out of the box, but the Gerber isn't going to hold an edge like the Spyderco. When I was stationed in the Infantry in some third world area, I didn't want to have to sharpen my knife every couple weeks. Just sayin'.
Its a huge chunk of japanese vg-10 steel, with micarta handles. think about the price point of the delica and how much more steel and handle material is in the temperance.
Funny thing perspective. After buying a couple of Striders & a Sebenza (LOVE 'em!) the price of what looks to be a very nice knife, the Temperance does not seem too outrageous. No I am not rich at all. I just am big on 2nd kind of cool.
As far as the POU of this blade I think your right but I feel that this may have been designed also as a hunting "small game" Mid game" knife. Any thoughts on this?
Well after a year I saw this vid, I just pull the plug and bought the knife I fell in love with. The $200 dollar does not scare me as I think the materials, quality, work and finish of this imported and yes exclusive Japanese knife is well worth it. I don't collect knifes I use them, so a light duty camping knife will be here very soon, the only thing I see missing is a handle strap for safe exterior backpack carrying to be ready for action, I guess for that my A1 will still prevail.
it may be better than many knives, and have a greater steel and all.. but dude, spending 200 dollars on a knive so you can use on the woods? that's just stupid, IMO.
Not saying you are stupid nutn, i'm a very big fan of the prject, i just think spyderco kinda went over the top with this one...
i have a mora #2, that costed me like 12 euros and it works perfectly.
@irulemuch If money was no object? Which knife would you prefer? The Mora or the Temperance? Some people will happily spend over $ 200,- on a knife. It’s a matter of perspective. I agree that knives over $ 150,- are essentially luxury items, but spending a little bit more money makes it possible to buy the knife you want, rather than the knife that will do its job adequately.
@rafaelherschel what knife would i prefer to work in the woods? the mora. what knife would i prefer to collect, cool factor nr 2? the spyderco, in my perspective, is WAY to pricy for me to just trash in the woods. i just coudln't do that, no matter i had the money or not.
Spyderco's knives, *all* of them, are priced with a fixed profit percentage on top of the cost of the manufacture of the knife. Sal Glesser himself will confirm this for you.
As you have shown, the Temperance 2 is made in Japan. Japanese made knives have a higher manufacture cost than other countries of origin - value of the Yen against the dollar and the premium market prices of the well-known Seki City knife makers account for most of this. It could be made in China from 8Cr13MoV for $50-70.
Why is it expensive? A lower sales volume means a higher price (to cover the start up costs). The Temperance doesn’t have a ‘tactical’ look. It doesn’t look like a traditional (American) hunting knife. Knives like this sell to a specific group of people, not in large volumes… Hence a higher price.
@rafaelherschel Correct. Not only that but Japanese manufacture makes costs higher. Taiwanese or Chinese manufacture could bring down costs but materials would have to differ (I think Taiwan would be the way to go as premium US steels could be used there.
I picked up a Temperance one a few years ago on ebay for 60 bucks... Loved the grind and the VG10... However do not like the handle ego's at all... makes it hard to food prep on a flat surface.. newer on looks to correct that, however i wish i had bought the Perrin camp knife which i was also looking at at the time.. now they are rarely seen and command top dollar when they do show up.. Your lucky to have one. Its a better knife then either Temperance.

I disagree with the comparisons used. The Temp 2 is resembles a BRKT or some other bushcraft knife company but done in mass production. It's very ascetically pleasing, beautiful grind, amazing steel, micarta handles are just fantastic.
In terms of performance? Maybe a SRK would perform similarly but as you said, the 2nd kind of cool is the beauty :) something a fugly SRK doesn't have.
This knife is too highly priced. It is a great knife but certainly not worth $200. My $45 Gerber Big Rock is just as good if not better. I would say the right price for Temperance will be around $75. I think another reason it is so expensive is that it is made in Japan.
I agree, Micarta doesn't have THAT much traction. Not that it's a bad material but lets be realistic here. It can be slick. Hold on tight, but you should be doing that anyway.
dude that knife has some great looks huh, but i would never buy a $200 knife because i use ALL my knives and every knife can break..... but overall one sexy knife
the main contributing factor to the cost is abrasives. there is so much abrasive used in full flat grinding and finishing such a large stainless blade.
@nutnfancy what is the brand name and model of the bottom knife shown at 5:57 ? It has a stainless steel blade and looks wicked japanese miniature samurai sword. Thank you.
nutnfancy is the Alton Brown of weaponry. Thank you, sir. This is a beautiful knife but have to agree with the objection of a $200 price tag. I noticed it was manufactured in Japan rather than China (see nutnfancy's review of other Spiderco knives). Slave child labor tends to be cheaper than labor in first world countries.
hey im looking for a tech lock for my belt, and i cant find them. any idea on what it is really called, and where to get them? how 'bout a revue of clips on knives???
From what I see on the Temperance, it looks like it would do well in the POU of small game and bird cleaning and skinning. If you're a professional bird guide and clean and skin birds day in and day out this might be a good knife as it'll hold that edge Nutn' is always talkin about. Just my 2 cents. If there was something comparable in the $60 range I might get one but upwards of $200...I'd be more inclined to get a CZ-82 pistol.
To address the price point Spyderco works on a fixed cost/msrp markup percentage. If a blade MSRP's at $300 and is available in the high $100 range it simply cost more to make than a knife with a MSRP of $269, etc.
As for the reason, I'm not sure. Price of yen, scales, shipping, design, etc all may vary. I DONT work for Spyderco by the way.
From what I understand the temperance is designed as a fighting knife that's why it has a thin tip and such. I wouldn't do to much woods testing with it.
i love his vid an other like his but his the best becuz 4 me if i buy something an im not happy u know u cant sell it for what u payed at lest he help an tells u whats good or ok exc
When the scales are not removable like this knife often they use some sort epoxy to help hold the scales on. This also seals the blade and makes it doubtful moisture will ever get in there to rot the steel.
27dcx mentioned doing a Bark River knife review and I agree. Nutnfancy seems to be a big fan of Cold Steel knives. I'd like to see him compare Cold Steel to Bark River on price and quality.
is it veri doin the replies now not nutns son? i thought when nutn did the luvchat show he said his son did the replies? i guess he's too busy with the gf huh? mayby he thinks he's too cool for TNP lol jks
MADE IN JAPAN!!!!!!!! IM NEVER GOING TO BUY A JAPONESE BLADE FOR 200 Dollars!!! other than that i understand marketing and all but i must say USA , USA keep the vids comming
Moreover no moisture can get between scales and steel. When scales are screwed, there could be some minor gaps (between steel and scales) in which water stays for long time and voila - rust. So pinned scales may be even better. Of course, I like tactical look of screwed scales too ;-)
Around 8:40 you told about servicing blade when using in wet conditions. IMHO it is not a big deal, that scales aren´t removable. My Browning Crowell/Barker with very similar handle construction made of 1085 steel (significantly more prone to rust than VG10) and i never had any problem with rust even in wet. And even if I ever have, there if no problem with removing some stain.
I agree: it is shame, that Temperance is so expensive.
There are some good Entrek offerings out there that compete too. Not as big on the 2nd kind of cool, but what the heck as long as you're gonna throw in the SRK! For about half the price on the Javalina. I'd compare the Kershaw Echo, also a lot less, my Echo with the camo scales is awsome, great all around small camp knife. I bett Chopper or Fitzen could work up a great $200 knife that would be just as high on the 2nd kind of cool. Awesome job as always, keep up the great work!
Did the marking on the other side of the blade say Japan? My only spyderco is the para-military..and it says golden colorado, usa, earth. what gives if it says japan?
A lot of people have problems with the new nutnfancy videos because most of the new videos are set up to open the HQ version automatically. If the download is taking forever, click the HQ button to convert to standard quality and the video should download faster.
he has a point there are some guys how like TNP but dont have all half an hr to watch i find myself stoping 10 min in and doing somthing elce and i have been folwing the progect form varry neer the start
and ya some stuff needs a long video but not a knife revew
Get a grip...its a youtube show...good or not...that is all it is...let the man voice his opinion, and leave be. he likes em short and to the point...so be it...you like em long and drawn out...wooo hooo.....is there noting else you can complain about going on in the world today?
I understand your point, stan. They're long, but they are in-depth and if he makes them shorter, people complain about that too. In the end, he makes them the way he thinks the majority of his viewers would like to see...and also the way HE likes them. For myself, sometimes I have to load it and then watch it in between doing other stuff. -- Veri (Nutn's sister)
thanks for geting back to me makes it seam like there is a point to wrighting on here im home sick today so i get to watch some of the longer videos in one shot
There is one thing that could be done to make Nutn's awesome vids a bit lighter: the high-quality ones (h264) are encoded at 60 FPS (whereas the mid- and low-quality versions at far more reasonable 30 FPS - just like NTSC-encoded tv signal). There does not seem to be a lot of merits stemming from such high framerate and it is the main reason for the "Ginormous" filesizes, eg the Temperance2 review is 254MB in high quality.
People yammering about huge vids, right? YouTube player does not show you any technical details of the vids but if you use a tool capable of downloading a vid to your PC, you can determine what codec (and settings) it was encoded with. Nutn's high quality vids are encoded with h264 at 60 FPS - such a high framerate basically doubles the amount of data that needs to be sent to the viewer. If this was changed it would result with smaller HQ vids without affecting the resolution or overall quality
I don't realy know, just guessing, but maybe the 'high pricing' has to do with the low value of the dollar atm.. 175USD today is 117Eur thats about the same price as a Fallkniven F1 or an EKA Nordic W11, both very similar to that Temperance as for quality, design and brand...
Thanks for reviewing this one. I'd love to hear your opinion on any of Spyderco's Jerry Hossom designs, e.g. the Dayhiker, Woodlander, Forager, Forester and their N690Co steels. I've thought about creating an outdoor system around each of those knives.
Nice dude! Knives to me are like the firearms to you. I probably have a thousand or so in my collection. I picked one of these up for around 150 on craigslist a while back. My personal favorite is the Gerber Combat Folder. Love the leverage size and the blade is marvelous. The Temperance gets pretty slick if it gets wet too. Not a good feature for a knife if you need to use it. Mater of fact, not a good feature for anything when the time comes. Well, there is one thing I can think of! LOL!!!
Ah an internet hardass! i just cant see spending $200 of my hard earned money on a fixed blade when i can go buy a used shotgun or handgun for the same price. Today in real life just because the price is high doesnt mean it is actually a "fine product" cold steel is a good example of that.
do you just come to these videos to give people a hard time? I checked out your channel if youre such a rastafarian why do you want to instigate others. That doesnt seem like something a rastafarin would do. And I know some rastafarians they are great people and I get along with them stop giving them a bad name please.
its matter of perception.. you usually get what you pay for (however it is up to you to decide how far your dollar should go).. you want a handgun for 200$ ? thats fine.. you are not in the segment that a company like spyderco would be advertising to anyway.
Dude great review ,i agree with you ,,,is it a nice knife ,yes it is but its a nice knife at the $129.99 (tops) price point id much rather see USA on the blade, keep them commin man love you vids
I would agree that $200 is too much for this knife, I would be interested around the $100 price point. I'm sure there are some collectors out there who will still purchase regardless of the high price.
Alie is super !!!! One of the cutest dogs i 've ever seen!!!
The knife is way too expensive and i am really reluctant to let the laws of marketing apply to me ... if you are a collector, sure ... nothing to say but as a task blade you got to be joking ! ... at least for the vast majority of consumers out there.
VG-10 (though good) is not worth the OUTRAGEOUS $329.95 MSRP. I can think of an array of knives that I would carry if I were to spend that much money.
I think there is a lot of hand labour associated with the manufacture of this blade. That is the word from Sal and the Spyderco forums. I think that accounts from some of the price.

the cost is sad, it is attractive but I cant say it is in my mind any better than kershaws of the same size and quality.

Show me a Kershaw of the same quality as the Temperance 2? The ZT 0121 is the only one but it costs 189.00+ bucks.

From what I see on the Temperance, it looks like it would do well in the POU of small game and bird cleaning and skinning. If you're a professional bird guide and clean and skin birds day in and day out this might be a good knife as it'll hold that edge Nutn' is always talkin about. Just my 2 cents. If there was something comparable in the $60 range I might get one but upwards of $200...I'd be more inclined to get a CZ-82 pistol.

Nutnfancy, good video.
To address the price point Spyderco works on a fixed cost/msrp markup percentage. If a blade MSRP's at $300 and is available in the high $100 range it simply cost more to make than a knife with a MSRP of $269, etc.
As for the reason, I'm not sure. Price of yen, scales, shipping, design, etc all may vary. I DONT work for Spyderco by the way.

From what I understand the temperance is designed as a fighting knife that's why it has a thin tip and such. I wouldn't do to much woods testing with it.

When the scales are not removable like this knife often they use some sort epoxy to help hold the scales on. This also seals the blade and makes it doubtful moisture will ever get in there to rot the steel.

27dcx mentioned doing a Bark River knife review and I agree. Nutnfancy seems to be a big fan of Cold Steel knives. I'd like to see him compare Cold Steel to Bark River on price and quality.

bradsterfordawin 2 years ago
Moreover no moisture can get between scales and steel. When scales are screwed, there could be some minor gaps (between steel and scales) in which water stays for long time and voila - rust. So pinned scales may be even better. Of course, I like tactical look of screwed scales too ;-)
johhnyjak 2 years ago
Around 8:40 you told about servicing blade when using in wet conditions. IMHO it is not a big deal, that scales aren´t removable. My Browning Crowell/Barker with very similar handle construction made of 1085 steel (significantly more prone to rust than VG10) and i never had any problem with rust even in wet. And even if I ever have, there if no problem with removing some stain.
I agree: it is shame, that Temperance is so expensive.

There are some good Entrek offerings out there that compete too. Not as big on the 2nd kind of cool, but what the heck as long as you're gonna throw in the SRK! For about half the price on the Javalina. I'd compare the Kershaw Echo, also a lot less, my Echo with the camo scales is awsome, great all around small camp knife. I bett Chopper or Fitzen could work up a great $200 knife that would be just as high on the 2nd kind of cool. Awesome job as always, keep up the great work!

A lot of people have problems with the new nutnfancy videos because most of the new videos are set up to open the HQ version automatically. If the download is taking forever, click the HQ button to convert to standard quality and the video should download faster.

I understand your point, stan. They're long, but they are in-depth and if he makes them shorter, people complain about that too.

There is one thing that could be done to make Nutn's awesome vids a bit lighter: the high-quality ones (h264) are encoded at 60 FPS (whereas the mid- and low-quality versions at far more reasonable 30 FPS - just like NTSC-encoded tv signal). There does not seem to be a lot of merits stemming from such high framerate and it is the main reason for the "Ginormous" filesizes, eg the Temperance2 review is 254MB in high quality.
jake262144 2 years ago
what are you talking about?
theiastcowboy 2 years ago
People yammering about huge vids, right? YouTube player does not show you any technical details of the vids but if you use a tool capable of downloading a vid to your PC, you can determine what codec (and settings) it was encoded with. Nutn's high quality vids are encoded with h264 at 60 FPS - such a high framerate basically doubles the amount of data that needs to be sent to the viewer. If this was changed it would result with smaller HQ vids without affecting the resolution or overall quality
jake262144 2 years ago
what are you taking about ? who cares!!
mgonzalez348 2 years ago
I don't realy know, just guessing, but maybe the 'high pricing' has to do with the low value of the dollar atm.. 175USD today is 117Eur thats about the same price as a Fallkniven F1 or an EKA Nordic W11, both very similar to that Temperance as for quality, design and brand...

Thanks for reviewing this one. I'd love to hear your opinion on any of Spyderco's Jerry Hossom designs, e.g. the Dayhiker, Woodlander, Forager, Forester and their N690Co steels. I've thought about creating an outdoor system around each of those knives.

Nice dude! Knives to me are like the firearms to you. I probably have a thousand or so in my collection. I picked one of these up for around 150 on craigslist a while back. My personal favorite is the Gerber Combat Folder. Love the leverage size and the blade is marvelous. The Temperance gets pretty slick if it gets wet too. Not a good feature for a knife if you need to use it. Mater of fact, not a good feature for anything when the time comes. Well, there is one thing I can think of! LOL!!!

Ah an internet hardass! i just cant see spending $200 of my hard earned money on a fixed blade when i can go buy a used shotgun or handgun for the same price. Today in real life just because the price is high doesnt mean it is actually a "fine product" cold steel is a good example of that.

its matter of perception.. you usually get what you pay for (however it is up to you to decide how far your dollar should go).. you want a handgun for 200$ ? thats fine.. you are not in the segment that a company like spyderco would be advertising to anyway.

I would agree that $200 is too much for this knife, I would be interested around the $100 price point. I'm sure there are some collectors out there who will still purchase regardless of the high price.
