Performance graphics or just raw data and photos/video? I'd probably say the former is a bit superfluous. What would you guys prefer?
Optimum angle for durability and edge retention. I can't speak for everyone, but that's the only thing that interests me about this material.

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!

It was about having Jason Ward on this forum and his results. I wouldn't bother you with something like this heh. I just don't want to get wrapped up in the middle of it and I'm trying to keep things rather scientific than personal opinion. I have no idea who Jason Ward is. Are his results posted s...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!

I’ve seen where people are talking about using the HIC Mule as a dive knife. I’m not sure how great of an idea that is, unless the diver has another knife made from a tougher material as a backup. While the corrosion resistance of HIC is undoubtedly extreme, dive knifes need to be able to stand up ...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!

Got mine in today and the factory did a decent sharpening job. Edges look even and the color is gorgeous in person. The factory edge cuts newspaper OK. Not as good as a really good edge on a steel blade. The material feels really nice, but the edge doesn't catch on my fingernail like a really sharp ...

If this is the best edge the factory can get, I don't foresee this being a viable material.
That video had me wincing thinking there was going to be a fountain of blood. I hope they all don't come from the factory like that.

I wonder how well the Wicked Edge 800/1000 stones will work.

More difficult than 15V, but a lot easier than Magnacut. If I knew how easy it would be to sharpen this with a Wicked Edge, I would have purchased 2.

Re: Mule Team Sheath Help

There is a place that I have no experience with... AZWELKE . Maybe somebody else here does? Last I heard, Halpern is the partner that produces the Mule Team scales for Spyderco. The only difference would be if the scales are flat or 3D contoured. The Mule Team scales that Spyderco sells are the 3D ...

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!

Is elastic ceramic as fragile as a normal ceramic blade? Meaning if it's dropped, it could break?

Re: Reveal 14 Live!

I'm excited to try it out as an EDC. It has a killer size to weight ratio and will be the XXL Salt I've been wanting. Pacific Salts are the smallest folders I carry but basically the largest salt currently out. It's on the larger size for EDC. You definitely won't forget that it's in your pocket. I...

Re: Reveal 14 Live!

The Catcherman Salt Sprint Run with an LC200N FFG ComboEdge Blade (4.64” long and only 0.07” thick) for $112.00 should sell out fast! The integral handle and clip are pretty sweet. I know it’s geared more towards saltwater fishing but it should also make a great self-defense EDC. It wouldn't be my ...

Re: 15V Mule Team scale bolt holes

Sanding the barrels down with the poor-man's lathe is not a bad idea either, but 30 mins with the dremel and you'll have it back to a standard diameter and will never have to fiddle with it again if you wanted to try other scales, replace them for some reason, etc. Look around, can you form some so...

Re: Did the 15V sell out?

When I clicked on the website MULES it showed the 15V with a "sold OUT" flag on the right. Later it was just removed... Boy IMVHO all those that have the BBB 15V knives in Manix, Paramilitary, or Shaman - have something HOT. To be fair, 15V Mule was still available 45 minutes after they b...

Nice to see there was enough to last several hours.

Now I need to patiently wait for some more Halpern Contoured Micarta to be made or for the Etsy shops to come back.

Re: MT39P – CPM 15V Mule Team Dropping Soon!

Got caught up in a work meeting and forgot about thiis Mule drop. Went on a few minutes ago and was pleasantly surprised that everything went very smoothly. No delays and checkout was less than 5 minutes.

Nothing like the Magnacut Mule experience.
