Hi Eduardo,

Might be hard to find. The Lil' Temperance 3 has a dedicated clip.

Do you mean for the original Lil Temperence 3 or for the Lightweight version (that is still in production) ?

If it's for the lightweight, looks like a Tenacious deepcarry clip would be compatible

It doesn’t quite look the same, if you compare the hole placement around the pivot.

The Native 5 LW pocket clip looks like it has the right hole spacing. The clip won't contact the scale in the factory location, though, so even if the clip attaches it will be a pocket shredder.

Pattern looks closer but still a different location in relation to the pivot, screw size is a factor to consider also.
Your best bet might be to reach out to someone like Casey at Lynch Northwest, dimensions from their website below for comparison.

Tenacious:
Clip Length: 2.1"
Clip Screw Hole Measurement (between center of each screw hole): 0.40"
Clip Screw Hole Diameter: 0.12"

Native 5 lw:
Clip Length: 2.1"
Clip Screw Hole Measurement (between center of each screw hole): 0.42"
Clip Screw Hole Diameter: 0.10"

So been down this rabbit hole before. Own the original G10 LT3, the new FRN LT3, and a Native 5. The hole spacing on the Native 5 is different even though the layout is the same. Native 5 is about .400" center to center for the bottom two holes and the Lil temp 3 is 0.500". If you check out the pocket clips on knifekits.com, they sell one that has 0.500" ctc hole spacing that'll fit. I bought one to try a couple years back and can confirm it'll fit. It's not super deep carry but much lower compared to the factory LT3 clip.

Hey, I recently got a G10 Lil Temperance 3 and have a K390 LW on the way. I make knives and titanium carry clips as a hobby, and will definitely be making deep carry clips for my Lil Temps. If you still haven’t found a good deep carry clip for yours I can make an extra one for you.

If you would make a titanium clip that would be awesome, I am definitely interested. Currently in a the process of trying to have some custom scales and possibly screw made as well, and a clip would help complete the build.
