Spyderco Forums

Everyone is so much more scientific in their testing than I am. I just field dressed two mule deer and it's still sharp enough to cut paper. I'm still a knife noob though.

Glad I got mine. I've seen mules last longer and some run out quickly. Bought mine at 9:02, did a quick 30 minute workout and went back to check the site and everything was gone!

I think we communicated a little bit about the cerakote but my suggestion would be to reach out to your local gun shops to see if any of them do cerakote. I get mine done by Tate at Black Boar Rifles in the neighboring town of Georgetown, TX.


We did! Mine is at a local gun store getting ...

I like it a lot. It takes a nice edge and holds it very well in my use. It does rust easily, though. Of course, part of that may be from opening water softener salt bags, which I do often. It doesn't seem quite as agressive as K294, but with a lower grit edge it hangs right in there.


So far, my ...

Congratulations! Which grips did you go with?


I went with a pair of matte OD green from this seller on Etsy:

So, I may not have followed the poll (decided by one vote), but I definitely listened to your suggestions and the suggestion of the very helpful employee at the Spyderco factory outlet! My first mule is in T15! I got the one that felt most likely to not be available first! I definitely plan on ...

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the forum and new to different knife steels. So far, I've got experience with some lower quality steels and some experience (little) with higher quality (CPM D2, H1, VG-10). I'm looking at buying my first mule team knife, but with all the available choices, I have ...

I recently purchased a ladybug (about two weeks ago) fast forward to last night, I'm a groomsman at my brother's wedding. Not wanting to carry anything larger, I threw that little ladybug in my jacket pocket. That little ladybug got a ton of use for little mundane cutting tasks that I would not have ...

I'm glad that I found this thread, I've recently been thinking about getting a street beat, and I think this has made my decision for me!

My newest Spyderco is on a Keychain in my pocket now! I was initially concerned about the size, but this little lady (bug) seems able to handle most of my day to day needs.

....Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. *said in Thanos voice*

Just bought my first ladybug! I can't wait to have a key chain knife or one to use on ladybugs!


You're going to love it. We have 4 in my house, plus a manbug.


Thanks! I handled a buddy of mine's ladybug and I thought it was perfect for a Keychain and as a discreet box opener. It will be my ...

Regardless of performance, it may be worth it to buy a few more H1 knives for the collected aspect of it. Then, 20 years from now, I can tell my progeny "they don't make 'em like they used to."🤣


H1 will still be good for a paper weight in 20 years :thinking


You and me should team up to ...

Hopeful, the straight spine Mule Team 28 Spy27 turns into a regular production piece.

Looks like someone may be a fortune teller.

I'm looking at buying my first mule (or two with this new list), and I've been eying a knife in CPM SPY27 anyways. Where could I get a sheath for a flat backed mule?

I'm really excited to get one of these new mule teams! I'm hoping to get some experience with some of these high quality steels!

Today, it's my first >$30 knife
