The edge beyond what sem imaging can do matters it's the material Jesus Christ guys please figure this out so I don't have to write half a book on the differences between metals and ceramics.

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?

Vera, I think you assume too little of this community. Having a material science engineering degree is, frankly, not that uncommon in areas of niche metallurgical discussion. A sure-fire way to inhibit constructive dialog is to assume superiority, whilst potentially insulting the audience. Instead ...

Re: Anyone else talk crap about how many Mules they were going to buy? And then life caught up...

Thanks for posting up guys. Lots to think about. Too much to read, HA! Gotta say, I like the feeling of going fast as much as the reality of going fast. Go-carts for example, when you are low to the ground it feels faster than the same speed sitting up high in a semi truck. Anyway, all of my worst d...

Re: Still wishing for a Chaparral XL / Endela "thin edition" / or something along that lines

Necrothread!!!

I have been using the new Catcherman in the kitchen, and Thin For The Win!

Endela thin is a good idea for me, I like more blade first, more handle and then less choil.

Re: Fish Hunter

I may be Blades Canada's ultimate fan boy. Or, just the guy that posts up that Warriors and Wonders/Blades Canada is showing 4 Spyderco Fish Hunter in stock. And, I am surprised that the Catcherman has not sold out.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

Always a nice surprise when a new knife shows up. I am sure the Catcherman will surprise me in other ways, but out of the box I was surprised at how hand filling the handle is. As compared to the Waterway the size difference is noticeable. IMG_20240423_131727712catcherman.jpg The handle is not too b...

Re: A new spin on "HIC dropping soon"

Hello Jason, In a way I am sorry I never took the time to welcome you to the forum. However, you do come on like a ton of bricks... I hope to help you to be aware of the mistake you have recently made. The Mule Team is very welcoming, in many ways. It does not welcome you to critique business practi...

Re: Cheap and ugly

Still rocking the cheap and ugly hdpe scales on my Magnacut Mule. Still cutting up hdpe food containers, I have made some climbing holds out of hdpe too, and plan to make more. I have cycled through all of my Mules cutting hdpe and this chore has really reinforced the fact that geometry cuts. So far...

Re: Autism awareness knife?

I like the idea, I know a number of people who either have Autism or their kids do. An Autism awareness collaboration would be cool. I like both ideas of puzzle piece scales or just dedicating a model to be the Autism awareness model. I terms of a dedicated model, I think either the Wooden Kit Drago...

Re: Anyone else talk crap about how many Mules they were going to buy? And then life caught up...

I never wanted to buy every single mule. I wanted to test steel and provide my results/findings. Part of me wanted the k294 mule but I have rex76 ones currently out on loan that satisfies that itch. I went from buying mules to buying my wife a wheelchair after her accident. About 13 surgeries later...

Also, I do not really deserve a nice Tenacious as I tend to use mine to cut old caulking out of cracks and shave the rotten wood out.

Re: Tenacious Tee Shirt

Necro Thread Alert!! Took some time for the Tenacious to get the love it deserves. I sure appreciate how Spyderco has focused on this platform and brought the value line forward. I can say I did not have the bank roll for the S35vn upgrade, and most likely will not have it for the Titanium Frame Loc...

Thanks for the reply's team. Up in northern Canada we went from floods in the spring to fires all summer. We evacuated for nearly 6weeks. Nothing quite slams the budget like no income and extra expenses.
