Got my hands on a MT01P 😁😁.
I talked about trying to find some Westinghouse micarta for the handle and immediately got a reply saying It is very collector and you're still gonna use it?
I decided that it's been too long since my last Mule handle and it is time to make a new one. This time however, I am going to take pictures of every step of the process so you can follow along and...
With the handle finished the knife is more usable now, but it's still hard to leave the house with it until I have a sheath. So, now I'll spend about 2 hours and make a Kydex sheath for the Mule.
What is your Maggie Mule performance? I just got my two this morning :star-struck and will have to scale up and put to the gauntlet. Mine came pretty sharp, enough to shave but not pop arm
hair cleanly. Will have to strop and see results. The first one I...
with my first mule successfully ordered, i'm naturally looking into scale and sheath options.
scales:
i looked at the gallery scales. i'm not sure i want g10 for this knife and i've seen mixed reviews of the texturing. so, i'd prefer micarta, but i'm...
First, for everyone saying both, nice thought but not an option right now.
The descriptions read on Spyderco's web pages don't really help me differentiate between them. Rex T15 seems to be an older steel and K294 appears to be a brand formulation.
I am curious about the projected release date of this Mule though, I don't think it will sell out crazy fast like some of the others, I don't check in every day so I don't want to miss it either! 🙂
Secondly, I am curious about this steel. How will it...
We have a problem with goat head weeds growing in very hard, sandy / rocky soil.
I've tried things like dandelion diggers / hand weeders and cheap Hori Hori style garden knives. They work, but dull very quickly and require a lot of effort to sever the...
Here’s a mule modified for lightweight backpacking. The index finger radius was reduced for comfort, the handle slimmed, the end bobbed & a middle oval ground. All edges heavily chamfered, then the handle was stonewashed (you can just see the two-tone...
Hi everybody! Newbie here, caught the bug for the spy 27 off of YouTube. I’d really like to practice different para cord wrap techniques on a blank, and I’m very partial to Boltaron or Kydex. Has anyone else had experience with the factory Boltaron sheath...
I just got an Enuff 2 in the mail and noticed that it felt a lot more well balanced than my 15V mule with Spyderco G10 scales. Despite being longer it was significantly lighter with a better balance in the hand. I attribute this to the really excellent...
Basically looking for inexpensive leather sheath, as I don't like the one offered. Someone suggested an Ottoza sheath from Amazon, I bought it, but it's way too big, the whole knife goes in there with the handle (3D halpern scales). If someone uses that...
Hey guys, first of all I’m brand new to all this shtuff so forgive me if I come in like a bull in a China shop…but I’m going to do it anyway. This K294 MT release is exciting to me, and I’m wondering if anyone knows when it’s coming??? It looks like it...
I've seen the Mule Team knives around for a long time, but never really looked into them.
My wife cuts a lot of cardboard boxes. I ordered her the MT34, along with a G-10 handle, Leather Sheath, and Boltaron Sheath. Thought it might be fun to play with....
I recently had time to finish wood scales for my two MagnaCut Mules. One is figured maple with black G10 and the other is Walnut with white G10. I plan to give them to my boys when they are a bit older. See below for some of the steps I took to make...
I managed to get 2 this morning. It was a struggle. I just checked the Mule Team Sales page and the 15V is no longer pictured. Did it actually sell out that fast?
Hey guys….folder-knife only enthusiast here, stumbling upon “mules”. I was thinking of picking up a 1st fixed knife for general garage/outdoor use, saw this forum, and wondered “Why not get one with an exotic, high-performance steel?”
I just got my 3rd mule, and first since the 9Cr18 mule from years ago, bringing me to look for scales. Who's making good scales at a good price. I'm not looking for anything fancy as this is intended to be a user. Suggest away! Thanks.
Since the mules are a symbiotic relationship, We get great priced knives for testing, What is the feedback? Please post your stories here so we can all learn. I know only a few have them so far but that will change quick.
What is the edge like?
How does...
Finally my Mule Team Z-Wear PM made it here all the way across the world to Russia
I've never owned that steel before, so I'm quite interested about it.
Let's open the box
The box sticker under the Mule Team Z-Wear PM steel marking has two capital...
May have been posted prior. I found this and other YOUTUBE interviews fascinating on the way
the 15V was to fit in between the K390 and the Maxamet blades... for Spyderco...
Wanted to inquire about sharpening angles before this BenchStone arrives. Most of the mules have stayed far too sharp for my beginner status but it's really looking like time for a proper sharpening on my Mules. Specifically I have a SRS13/SUS 405, CPM...
I recently picked up about .75bf of Gaboon Ebony wood from my last trip to Ghana. It was locally sourced and only $35 (normally $100/bf). As you can see from the picture one block has a beautiful sap line that I thought would make a great Mule handle....
So I went to put my Halpern scales on and the barrels wont fit through the holes. Yay. Checked for burrs like we have seen before, none. Tried to hammer them through, tried to pull then through with a screw on the other side and no joy. Tried some other...
Any interest in Bohler K294? 2.5% carbon, 9.5% vanadium. Over on BF, Ankerson says for edge retention, K390 is close to K294 but that nothing he's aware of, beats K294 or 10V yet (that was posted in 2012). K294 steel is the steel when one needs the...
My OCD is acting up. What were the quantities for AEB-L & 15V mules? I want to add quants to the updated Blue List ( viewtopic.php?f=15&t=89168&p=1722505#p1717677 ) I keep with prices under the Past Mule Teams sticky thread.
I was lucky enough to be able to get a 15V Mule (first mule :party-face ).
I purchased the handles from Spyderco and after putting them on I see that the tang sticks out at the top above the handles.
Is that the way it supposed to be? Why would they make...
I am building a retirement gift for my son. He has served in both the Police Department, and the FIre Department in his career. Building a thin blue/thin red line handle for a Mule he can use as a boat knife. The standard scale size of 5 inches by 1 1/2...
Was a few thousandths smaller than the other one. Used a jewelers plastic hammer (a hard rubber one would also work) on a rubber work mats to gently make it fit for the hard plastic bushing. Few seconds is all - but something to know about.
