Spyderco Forums

One of the most unique Mule Team blades ever offered, the MT40 Mule is made from High-Impact Ceramic (HIC)—a state-of-the-art Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM) material. Developed by Harcane Industries of Switzerland, this remarkable zirconia-based material is significantly more resistant to breakage ...

I just saw the newest issue of the Spyderco Reveal 14 catalog and it lists a new High-Impact Ceramic 'HIC' Mule Team MT40P blade is coming soon!

Maybe we should just name this forum 'The Spyder Web'.

After having had my Sandrin Torino knife for a while now, I just can't bring myself to performing any endurance testing on it. This knife is too nice and too valuable to me to take a chance of damaging it in order to find any inherent weakness or 'breaking point' to share with the forum. This is a v...

My order went through like greased lightning!

I think a tungsten carbide mule would be awesome and it should be added to this list.

Taken from my new Sandrin Knives Authenticity Card: "To the owner of this Sandrin Knife As a 2nd generation artisan dedicated to the craft of engineering tungsten carbide, I personally thank you for selecting our knife. We strive to "exceed carbide technology" and push the limits of t...

I just placed an order for the Sandrin Torino Tungsten Carbide (PTC) EDC folder. I will share my findings after I've had a chance to play with it.

Thanks everyone for your interesting comments about the feasibility of a tungsten carbide mule team blade. I've learned a lot since my original post. The more I learned, the more I became convinced that tungsten carbide needs to be offered as another Spyderco Mule Team blade. If the resulting Mule T...

I'd sure like to see a tungsten carbide Mule Team blade offering. Would this be feasible?

I would definitely buy a couple of Apex Ultra mules.

I've purchased at least 1 of every single Mule Team Blade ever offered and 2 of most of them for a total of 57 Mules and MT accessories. How many do I have to buy in order to receive a complimentary Mule Team patch?

They don't appear to be stabilized, maybe they used some kind of oil treatment.

... Ramonade, I appreciate the way you relieve the front of the scales so they are not full thick near the blade. ... Super interesting, KKnuts! How about you fill us in with a little background info on your unique scales? Or is this a production item? ... Kudos for actually modifying the profile o...

Yes, I'd like to buy 2.

This list doesn't exist yet. This is just a suggestion to help eliminate the Mule Team challenges that now exist. I currently have 1 or 2 of every Mule Team blade, except for MT14P. I now have 53 Mule blades to use, experiment and collect. None of them are for sale. I've been buying these blades ov...

Toker said "Any list would be a nightmare to manage". Sal said that is one reason for not offering a "mule buying club". But maybe it could be simplified if both Spyderco and buyers can give a little. Here is how. Spyderco creates a new product in their store called the NEXT MUL...
