Factory 2nds question

So I shuffled into the last factory 2nd sale(was the first time for me) a day late or so last time. I didn't get to see what the options were initially. What is usually available to choose from? I believe, on the insta post, it was said there would be exclusives available but are there ever any fact...

Re: Mule Team as garden knife (Hori Hori)

The way these things grow, I think something like a "harvesting" knife is about right. You basically just ball the plant up in one hand, and then slice it off level or slightly below the surface and it comes out as one big bunch. A single plant can fill up a 5-gallon bucket. You generally...

Re: Show your Mule

Lately I’ve been strapped for time but really wanted to put my new 15v Mule to work. I decided to do a set of scales as fast as I could without compromising on quality. The result was this set of Purple Heart scales, done in 1 hour and 5 minutes. The tools used were a drill press, bandsaw, trim rou...

Re: Mule Team as garden knife (Hori Hori)

We have a problem with " goat head " weeds growing in very hard, sandy / rocky soil. I've tried things like dandelion diggers / hand weeders and cheap Hori Hori style garden knives. They work, but dull very quickly and require a lot of effort to sever the tap root. Would something with th...

Re: Show your Mule

I believe the question was regarding how the Spyderco Bug logo on the blade was preserved in the cerakoting process. I'll confess my ignorance on how the cerakoting process works, but I could see (as in painting) some sort of adhesive cut and shaped like that Bug logo would/could preserve it in the...

Re: Show your Mule

This one I did have done locally by Black Boar Rifles. I had a Rex 76 one done by a guy suggested off of blade forums. I like it so far, haven't been put past any general cutting tasks but if sharpening is any indication of its capabilities I see the edge holding for a while. I just posted this in ...
