The Canis arrived Wednesday evening 2/21. Messed around with it a little. Moved the clip to the left-side and then replaced the original clip with a black one from a Delica 4 FRN K390 Wharncliffe.
Carried the Canis all day Thursday. Tried to use it as much as possible. New knife, so of course I cut ...

I really appreciate the existence of the left-hand PM2. I like it a lot, and I purchased it in an effort to encourage development of left-handed / ambi offerings.
While not quite as left-hand friendly, I recently purchased a Canis.

I've got to say, the Canis is REALLY nice.

In my perfect world ...

I've pretty much always carried a knife. Eventually landed on the Manix 2 Lightweight S110V since 2015.

I still think it's pretty much PERFECT, but decided to switch things up a little.

Purchased the Native 5 Fluted Carbon Fiber in S90V. I really like it overall, but just the nature of a lockback ...

Curious to see if I can tell any differences. Any ...

Short answer, no, I don't think a mule would be a great blade for your described task.

I purchased one of the AEB-L blades with this in mind.

I'm still not sure if I really want to try using it that way, but it's an option.

I installed a set of "factory" black G-10 scales on the AEB-L Mule Team and a Mule Team 2 CPM SPY27 last night. That brings my total to 3 along with the Mule ...

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 want to ...

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 the blade ...

I've seen the Mule Team knives around for a long time, but never really looked into them.

My wife cuts a lot of cardboard boxes. I ordered her the MT34, along with a G-10 handle, Leather Sheath, and Boltaron Sheath. Thought it might be fun to play with.

My EDC is a 2014 C101PDBL2 / C101DBL2 Manix ...
