Yup, no apologies necessary. Most folks wouldn't be able to go to the store anyways, so an online seconds sale is a privilege.

I really like my Magnacut Mule. But the AEB-L MT37P with it's higher toughness than Spy27 and S45VN might be a good candidate.

^ I agree with these suggestions.

I would caution people that going extremely thin, even with a steel like AEB-L that does very well with thin edges and grinds, you do need to have some knowledge about the limitations of very thin edges. For cutting cardboard or light rope, etc, my ultra thin AEB-L slip joint is amazing. But if I g...

So: It looks like our experience of an AEBL mule will depend largely on how high it's hardened. I wonder what hardness Spyderco will use.

Should be similar to 52100, 1084, and other similar steels unless the hardness is cranked up, right? Seems unlikely they'd go much over the 61-62 range?

I'm super excited for this one!

You want to look at the more detailed chart further down the post to see the specifics in terms of actual results at respective harness levels: https://i0.wp.com/knifesteelnerds.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/stainless-toughness-10-19-21.jpg?w=757&ssl=1 AEB-L looks slightly tougher at higher ha...

Is this AEB-L MT produced by Fox or LionSteel in Maniago, Italy? If you look at Larrin’s Stainless Steel chart below you’ll see that AEB-L is very similar to 14C28N, 420HC and LC200N. It’s closest to 14C28N. All 4 have high toughness and good corrosion resistance but relatively poor edge retention....

Thanks again everyone! I ended up ordering the barrels and screws from USA knife maker, see the links below. The screw heads are slightly bigger than the holes in the halpern scales and stick out a bit but everything fits fine so no big deal. They were the only place I found that wasn't sold out of ...

Maybe this is a stupid question, but would it be possible to add in a little slot to accept a Swiss Army Knife toothpick? I'm wondering because they make fire steels that fit the toothpick hole.

I contacted the company and they said the screw head diameter is 0.0153". That seems small, right? On the G10 set of scales Spyderco provides the screw head diameter I mesured is 0.206" if that helps. It does, thanks. They added an extra zero, the the screws are apparently 0.153 in diamet...

In this thread, I give screw dimensions that work well for the Mule, and I recall the screws/nut barrels were the same as those I received with the Halperns:

Thanks for the info!

I was thinking about adding a bungee in the hole on the bottom and wrap that over the top for retention.

rooster81

The bolts themselves are 3/16" diameter by 1/2" in length. I don't know screw dimensions, but I measure the head to be 13/64" with a T8 slot. That appears to be a normal screw size, according to the internet. I don't know the threading, but if you're buying replacements I assume you ...

Hi Everyone,

Could someone tell me what the size of the screws and barrel are for the halpern scales?

Thanks.

Sheath printed in PETG at 80% infill. Works great! Main usage will be for keeping the knives sheathed when stored away. Would probably be fine in the pocket as well. I prefer this friction sheath over the other one that uses a clip to retain the knife because I usually trim down the guard on the mul...

Knives I'd love to seen shrunk down by about 10-20% or so: Manix Two Smock I just prefer a folding knife to be under 3 inches. Are there any other knives you all would like to see miniaturized? I know this is a want and not a need because the folks at Spyderco give their customers the best selection...

Thanks everyone. The only other thing I've found so far are fobs from glow rhino:

Hi, sorry to bug you, but could you point me to where the hexagonal pattern files are? I can't seem to find them. Thanks!
They're over here. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=89676&start=40

Do you happen to have the 577 file with a standard nut and bolt combo?
