Re: SRS13/SUS405 Performance Thread

Update - the core of the knife holds a better edge now after several sharpenings. It wasn’t until I ran the knife on my Diamond plate that I discovered the harder area of the core. It now holds an edge for a little longer and is a little tougher to sharpen. But it is still the easiest knife to sharp...

Re: How Would Michael Janich Combat Zombies?

Hmm🤔 I’m not sure I’m buying his answer. I’m sure he’d retreat to his Spyderco lab and test out new blade options for skull penetration on pig skulls. After that he’d send out the mule Team army to capture umm let’s say undead test subjects. After that being the knife genius that he is he’d say NOPE...

Re: Would you want a Damascus Mule?

I was just thinking how cool it would be to have a San mai stainless Damascus with a Vanadis 8 or 10V core. Not sure what stainless steels could be used became I don’t know the heat treat protocols for each.

Re: DLT Cruwear Endela

I use to get only stainless steel knives. But lately I’ve been eyeing high alloy tool steels and high speed steels. I just picked up an Osborne in CPM M4. It was the first one I found with a really good handle that was under $200. I would love a CruWear or 10V knife But it seems any time a good qual...

Re: POLL: Shape of "Standard Mule" MT28P2

Make the standard Spy wharncliff, similar to the jojimbo, lose the nub. Receive fat stacks of cash? Call it the WharnSpy mule or WharnSpy27. legOFwhat I love the WharnSpy27 idea. But if that is not an option keep the straight spine for differentiation from the other collectible mules. Maybe the Spy...

Re: Waiting to buy Mules

Hi Sal, I’m curious what mule (steel) you would consider the best for camping and what one you’d consider best for RV’ing. This thread got me wondering about that. A lot of fixed blade knives come in steels I would never consider desirable but I probably don’t understand due to the fact that I like ...

Re: 1st Mule Team purchase: Tried to give me a heart attack

My first attempt was almost my last - mt35 magnacut. SMH it wouldn’t even let me log into my account. Wasn’t able to get it but I got over it and now have two mules- mt36 and mt38.

Re: Would you want a Damascus Mule?

I would love an edc fixed blade mule in Damasteel. The conversations that it would start when others saw it would be worth it. New to fixed blades and I want a beautiful edc to make my brother jealous.
