Great looking scales and even better looking sheath!

Much excitement and interest, here. I frequently carry a mule and a 6" Esee in the woods - it would be just great to collapse those into a single utility knife with some genuine steel interest. That would free up the pocket to carry a more complimentary/slicey little blade.

In other words: very ...

Congrats @RyanY and thanks to @Punlor for the Silver honors. Already some great pics on the slate this week! Let's see what else ya'll got!

Tons of great shots this week!

Autumn moisture in the air finally helped this rig push the 15V M2 out of my pocket for general woods duty.

So funny, I thought Knife Center was pulling some kind of April fools game in October when I first saw the mantra and button-up... I quickly clicked over to the forum to see what the heck is going on! Ha!

This reveal looks excellent. Excitement is high for a number of these - the white Mantra, the ...

I dig this monochrome shot, and the taste in steel varieties is superb

Working up some new scales this week. Hard to choose how I want to dress up all my Mule Team blades.

This is my M398 Mule in a green aluminum honeycomb and green epoxy resin sitting beside some new textured scales in Cherry, Maple, and Walnut. I also whipped up a smooth set of purple heart that ...

Love it…

I dig this forced patina - almost looks tumbled post-wash, too. Did you do a typical vinegar bath for this patina? Any hints on getting such a pro/OEM-look?

Also, kudos on that polish!

Just out here tryna fill the freezer, MagnaMax Mule keeping the work reasonable:

sorry - double post, trying to fix a weird quote problem. Game on!

Runner up goes to @barnaclesonaboat Looks like a solid harvest! :cheap-sunglasses 🍄




Thanks for the honors Mushroom and for the compliments from folks! Porcini galette was the ultimate fate of that collection of mushrooms. A lot of great photos last week. Congrats to Makunochimaster with the ...

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.

Scientific or not, I find data points like yours very informative… practical testing. Keep it coming! Two mule deer and it ...

M2 out here helping me clean up the forest treats:

Super cool finished knife @WilliamMunny ! Thanks for sharing the details on your process and lessons learned, too.

Really dig this shot. The Chief looks rad, and this one is pretty compelling…

I do not have these skills or tools, but goodness this is inspiring - that finished mule looks like a really excellent user and high-end custom at the same time.

Just back from the woods and I'm seeing stars in this thread! Thanks again @Manixguy@1994 for judging this past Sunday, and congratulations to @Mrj and @Mushroom ! Those are some bonkers-good shots!

Howdy folks, this week’s winner is @barnaclesonaboat 🏆 Great shot plus you bloodied and slimed your phone so that shows true dedication 🤣

Thanks a lot! SaltyCaribbeanDfly Quite the honor - plenty of great shots last week. Manixguy@1994 Dan - can you please do the honors of judging in my place ...

Sweet...Nice fish and great shot



Congrats to the winners from last week - several very excellent shots!
