Bravo, Hector! That is gorgeous...

Tough stuff to work, isn't it?

Nice test, xav :) Glad your ZDP didn't crack

If you need a sheath in a hurry, I have a spare pouch sheath for a Mule that you can have. If you'd like it, PM me your address and I'll stick it in the post.

Nice piece of leatherwork, Hector :)

Did you use the plastic insert from the original sheath?

This thread...

Edit - Posts crossed - you got there before me :)

:eek: :cool: Putting pennies aside for this NOW! :D

But I don't collect them...



Honest...

... to the lads and lasses at the SFO.

When I ordered my S35VN Mule, I was also going to order a replacement clip for my UKPK at the same time, to save on the postage (to the UK - prohibitive for the clip on it's own) - I had asked the question of Charlynn at Customer Services, who had forwarded my ...

Mine arrived at work today - "oohhh shiny!"

"Oooooooohhh, sharp ..."

Slightly odd finish, as some others have mentioned, if only in comparison to previous Mules. I presume there is a sensible reason for the change?
It now needs to wait until I have some workshop time to put some scales on.

Thanks, Kristi. I quite like the 'stonewash' finish :)

Where would the notch be on a second?

Not to the UK, unfortunately, otherwise it would definitely have been worth ordering 2, or even just adding a ceramic slip stone

Got one :D

Hmmm - should I have bought 2? Would have made the shipping cheaper per blade, but too late now...

Now looking forward to Mule 6 and my fluffy ZDP Mule arriving :cool: - fingernails being chewed already :rolleyes:

Not long to go now...
Will I be awake at 3am local time? Probably not - I have to go to work tomorrow :mad:
Will there be any left by the time I wake up? Hope so :cool:

EDIT:

Drat! Got that wrong - MST is GMT -7, so it's 1700 local time, not 0300, and the SFO site is blocked at work :mad:

It is just up the road from me, which might be why I made the mistake. I turn just after it, to go to my mentor's knife shop.


That would explain it :)

If your house has a name, is it historical?

Marion

Not sure - the previous owner designed the house, had it built, and lived in it for 50 ...

Thanks, Marion :)

Marion

Nope , my US geography isn't that good... I just thought, "Where is Westmond?" and Googled it :rolleyes:

Didn't know you were in Idaho either :D

Nice collection of links, Marion :)

BTW, it's Westmead, not Westmond - I'm nowhere near Idaho

Now waiting for the "softer, gentler ZDP189"... :D

If the latter, Spyderco won't have any to reheat treat. :D It looks like they're mostly all gone.

:eek: Hope they do have some left to H/T - I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for a softer replacement.

Hmmm - reading that sentence again - could be misunderstood :rolleyes:

I mean a ZDP Mule at the ...

Wow!

When I read the top first post in this thread, I couldn't think of another company that would step up for it's customers like this.
Having read through the entire thread and thought about it some more, I still can't... :)

Thanks to Kristi, Sal et al for restoring a little faith in people :cool:

I have one of the hard ones, now I want one of the others...

Bring on the Mules...

Marion

Excellent! :cool:

So, start process on 14/12, so... [counts on fingers] optimal hardness MT04Ps start shipping mid-Jan - mid-Feb?

Gives me a chance to clear the other stuff on the go at the moment ...

Looking at the time of your post, it was 0953 here, so I was browsing while waiting for the chimney sweep to turn up at home.

Mr Blake it is ;) Closest thing to an English national anthem, and it's a great piece of music in it's own right...

We still do Metric and Imperial sizes in fasteners, steel stock, rope, wood, etc etc. It can be a bit confusing :rolleyes: I tend to do metalwork in metric and woodwork in inches, but ...
