Re: SPY27 and Rosewood
Very nice handles! I had a question about working with rosewood. I read that it's an irritant on the skin/eyes, etc. any experience with that? Any precautions/advice?

CasperFantone, what kind of scales are those on the Mule? They look fancy!CasperFatone wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 10:13 pmHere is my setup with the bar in vertical position for the contact wheel. This is before I did the horizontal mount for the platten.

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
I was ready to give up on it until I started cutting up some cardboard with it. It performs at a much higher level than the edge would have me believe. I do think that this material might do best with a coarse edge. Need to play with it some more. This is an interesting observation, because I exper...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
I have some relatively inexpensive gritomatic diamond stones (240/600/1200) I've used with a worksharp using the gritomatic upgrades. I've had good success getting very hard steels (e.g. Rex 76) back to screaming sharp. I've had *very little success* getting kyocera ceramic knives back to sharp usin...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!
Anyone that picked up in store from SFO be willing to post up some pics? Would love to see a closeup of the edge. Thanks in advance! I have made up several dozen mules for friends and to donate to local charities, so I bought a few of these at SFO on release day. I ended up returning them due to no...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!
Got mine suited up with Halpern scales and the HIC Kydex sheath. I've previously avoided getting kydex sheaths because I'd already bought some blank sheets, as well as thermofoam and supplies to *make* my own kydex, but I didn't want to mess around with the HIC unprotected. The edge is indeed less s...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!
Are these as hard to sharpen as a ceramic kitchen knife? Because I've had *no* success trying to sharpen those with diamond stones. I've managed to remove material and reprofile it a bit, but I don't think I'm managing to form an apex on it.

Re: MT36P K294 MICROCLEAN Mule performance thread
I also want to see those handles! I do similar carving with my mules, although I'm just carving handle scales from blocks of hardwood. I've noticed that Rex76 is an edge retention beast at this, even with hard woods. Nothing else can really go for very long before the work is much slower going, and ...

Re: “Best” steels video with Larrin
I think if cosmetic concerns are important, one should never, ever, ever buy a factory second. Just slap an edge on it and use it up.imho Yes, I usually grab seconds to either try something I'm not sure I'll like, or for users. For example, I'm a lefty, but I've never had a left-handed knife, so I ...

Re: “Best” steels video with Larrin
Triple B! Perhaps you know the answer - do you know why some of the 15V knives from seconds sale have little dots on them? Speckled, like a dusting of pepper.

Hope it isn't the new normal, but inflation has come for pretty much everything else. As a collector, it doesn't really change anything for me, thankfully. But I'm sure some people out there are feeling the squeeze.

Re: Is there a consensus sharpest folder?
Factory edges can vary based on a lot of things, but the key point is that they are mass-produced. Spyderco does have great factory edges, but if you are using your knife regularly, what matters much more is how sharp *you* can get it, because over the life of the knife, it's sharpness is going to d...
