Spyderco Forums

It's been a while since I have been to the Factory Outlet to buy a Mule. Is it safe to say if I'm there at 9am on 12/3 should there be stock available at the store? Actually I'd be there a bit early waiting outside.

I would only buy direct from spyderco if I were you. You live very close to the SFO so just stop in and buy from them. That way you can be sure that it meets your standards before money even changes hands. If you buy online you get what you get and have no way of knowing if it meets your standards ...

Here is the final update. I called customer service Wed morning and left voicemail. Called again a few times yesterday and kept getting voicemail. I called this morning and was told to bring it back up to the outlet and they would give me a choice from what they had in stock. Apparently this is what...

Okay guys. I should have taken your advice on this and just sent the thing back to Knifeworks. I thought for sure being this close to Spyderco would have resulted in faster and a more favorable outcome. I got a call today, October 7th, that a replacement was ready to pick up. I went and picked it up...

We are moving in a week and since we were going up to Spyderco anyway today to make a purchase I took it up there. They are going to send it to the warranty department to take a look. It might take a couple of weeks. :( I don't want to risk anything being mis-shipped due to our move. I'll let Knifew...

USPS just delivered this today from Knifeworks. I've tried buffing it out with my shirt but it doesn't help. Running my finger across it, it feels smooth. This is the first time I have ever received a knife with a blemish so I'm a little on the fence as to what to do. On one hand I don't know if I w...

Two Swick 4's on the way, plus a green/black Lum Tanto. Some things are just too beautiful to resist! Same here. I went to the SFO this morning and got two Swick 4's and held the green/black Lum Tanto. I bought the Swicks and just ordered the LUM. I wanted the original LUM for a long time but this ...

My strategy is just to buy it. Find the place with the lowest price right now and place the pre-order or order and don't worry about shopping around for weeks or months in order to save a few bucks. I've done that in the past only to end up with SOLD OUT signs everywhere. In the end it's not work th...

Wait until you hold it. Amazing....

Just walked out with two! :p oh and found yet two more things I want. The LUM Tanto black/grn and Pygmy Warrior. Man that Pygmy is wicked in the hand.

I always see these threads the day before they go on sale. Yay! I'm there at 9am.

Nope :p but I have to be stealthy about it.

Taichung Taiwan. Here is a pic. Blade looks the same as expected. Not the best pics but I'm at work so I have a excuse. :)

Halpern is ready! Thanks for all the orders for the last 4 years. Halpern Titanium Crew I ordered your CF for the last Mule and am very happy with the quality, look, and feel. The pictures on your web site don't show enough detail for me to choose my next set. Do you have any hi-res photos availabl...

Very excited for this one. I love the Mules. Did anyone catch where this was being manufactured at? I'm guessing it's a import.

I'll be in for two.

You, me, and my wife. I hope this prototype makes it to market.

Do you want to put oil under the CF to protect the steel handle? If so, I'd go with something like Tufcloth/Tufglide. Should keep the handle from corroding should contaminates get beneath the CF scales. CF shouldn't need any oil on the outer exposed areas. Whereas G-10 "dries out" and nee...

I should have bought two. oh well I know for next time. Any news on a second run? I just received my Halpern Titanium CF handle. Wow! What have you guys been doing w/ regards to oil? This is my first knife I have put handles on so with CF should I put oil in under the handles before screwing them do...

I think people have finally noticed the Mules. The last one sold out even faster, but before that it took more time. In some cases, it took months, but that was the exception rather than the rule. I wonder if there will be any seconds to console those who missed out? I personally just noticed the M...
