Well, the Lil' Temperance only appeared in the 02 thru 04 catalogs, so the age has to be in that range. But steel is an open question since in that brief time, two different ones were used for the Lil' T. It could be either 440V or S30V, depending on when it was made. Unless you have a box with a date stamp on it there's no way to know when the mistake was made. There were some other changes to the Lil' T over the course of its run, and there'ss a thread here, somewhere, showing them, which might help you narrow down the date.

If you got it through Charity I think it is a 440V one ;) Henning has mine so ask him about details about your model :D

Kenneth, I have one Lil'Temperence with sterile blade in original gray box saying 6/11/02 as production date. Therefore I suppose it is CPM 440V steel. It should from the same charge as yours ;)
