Re: 3D print sheath

think this version latch is the winner.
its easier and safer to unlatch when extracting.
has same fit characteristics vs blade shape/size as previous version.
olive wood scales on SPY27 mule and other is AEB-L.

Re: 3D print sheath

update ::
1st pic below, M398, AEB-L, SPY27, 15V mules, each fits a little different.
Overall blade size/shape and scale thickness are the issues.
AEB-L is a loose fit, next SPY27 a tad loose, others ok.
Scale/handle thickness can be adjusted for by the hot-air gun bend, out then back up.

Re: 3D print sheath

Great idea ChadR, as usual, there are complications, one is my current design is split in the slicer.
Will look at a redo to split in FreeCad, plus add the retaining tabs - may take a while, but worth it !
------------
I printed the suggested sheath with tabs for a reference.
After a closer look at ...

Re: Will MagnaMax be the next Mule?

carter: "Mule_Handle_V2_v2.stl" was in "https://www.printables.com/model/383982 ... erco-mules"
In my slicer: (1) thickened (20% Z only), (2) added a thumb cutout, (3) filled in the first hole (4) added fuzz.

Re: Will MagnaMax be the next Mule?

I've used this AEB-L mule on veggies for almost a year, re-sharpened it once & no rust yet.
Scales are 3DP PETG, slicer modified www download, added surface fuzz and thumb cutouts.
Wash with hot water & soap & wipe dry.

Re: CPM Prototype Steel

a CPM-X challenge coin is intriguing idea.
If not familiar with its history or current tradition - its worth a www search.
Coin needs the spydie logo, maybe flip side.

don't think it rates among the military coins, but it should do well at a knife convention, like

Re: Nitro-X7 steel

interesting, from the first link above, in their pyramid of "nitro-s",
shows AEB-L as X65Cr13.
also Nitro-V as X70CrVN13
and Nitro-X7 as X70CrMoVN15
