Ted - I like those scales! Well done sir!

I am interested in hearing about what you want to do to your mule.

Bought a ffg delica for my dad last April loved it so much I bought one for myself. My addiction started there so now I have pm2, endura ffg, super blue delica coming and I preordered a super blue dragonfly. Love spyderco's ffg blades :)
I really want a military but can't find the money ...

I would use my knife grinder.

A rotary tool like a dremel might work, it would take a while. I wouldn't try sand paper to take it down, it works for sharpening but it would take FOREVER with sandpaper and your hands to change the shape of the thumb ramp area ( longer than I would want to do it ...

FFG all the way.... period, in my opinion.

I haven't seen a Manix 2 FFG yet. Or held one.

Just bought a grey scaled version off another site from a fellow forum member...waiting on that. Got my wife a purple FRN FFG Delica for her upcoming birthday.

My wife wants the purple one as well!

Wow...

Sal, I am sorry you have to deal with the "flipping". After going through the 13 pages I think you are on the right track. It is hard to deal with supply and demand.

I came to the into the Mule game just this past month. It is a great program that allows people to test the knives, educated ...

So I have had about half a dozen Delicas over my lifetime so far. All saber ground, older models, I lost my last one. I just got a hold of the Full Flat Ground (FFG) Delica 4 today.

I am really impressed. I have been carrying a stainless handled Delica saber ground that I had engraved for my ...

And here is another set of Mules that I did this weekend ( They aren't mine :( ) Black linned micarta, sand blasted finish.

Thanks for doing the testing.

This makes me sick. It is hard enough to come to the mule game late and it hard to find older mules to test out the steel. But wow.

Awesome!

Anyone do leather sheaths for their mules? I should have a picture or two in the next couple of days of mine.

Very cool!!!

dtoad - those pics are awesome. Did you use black glass? What kind of material is the brown handle?

Thanks guys! I can't wait to see some more finished Mules posted up.

Hey Kyle!!! Thanks, I just came across this thread, great stuff!

xceptnl wrote:Great first post weatherman. Nice shaping on those handles. Tan G-10 over black liners?

"Tan g-10" with black g10 liners, correct. It looks tan in the pictures, but it is like a tan/grey. Media blasted, to texture the scales and add grippyness.
