Re: MT46P/MT46S - Mule Team™ MagnaMax™ Release Info!

I woke up way late today for work, but the thing that awoke me was the alarm reminding me of the sale. In for one of each. Probably checked out 2 or 3 minutes after 11. Site performed well, and I had no real issues in paypal.

Re: The Last Gun You Bought

A Taurus TX22 T.O.R.O. - picking it up monday, and getting a Swamp Fox sentinel green dot in for it at around the same time. Should be a fun little pistol. Threaded barrel too.

Definitely looks great. Will have to get used to the navigation after many years of using the old site, but it looks like it will be worth it.

Re: The Deacon

Oh, wow. Sorry to hear this.

I've had many great conversations with Paul, in the forums and backchannel. Never got around to meeting though he wasn't that far away from me.

We had the same listed start date since we were both on the "old board" in 2002 or 2003 before it got converted. Huge ...

PD#1 Streatch 2XL sprint and the Temperance Cruwear SE. Stoked about both, and got a killer deal.

Re: Military 2 CF s90v sprint run

Caught a black friday special on one, now it's going to be EDC for a while. Super grippy CF and S90V has been one of my favorite steels for years.

Re: Byrd Cross Bill questions

1. Possibly but the ergos aren't ideal for it.
2. sure. I always keep a hawkbill in LFP (usually serrated though both are effective). If you were hiking and got caught in some brush, a hawkbill is probably your best bet for clearing that away. Big help if you stumble into a bramble patch.
3. It's ...

Would love to see a REX121 mule, but maybe it will be a lot more feasible a few years down the road as the manufacturing technology evolves?

Re: Think it’s time for another discontinued re-do!

I would love to see a Kris sprint run, simplicate and add lightness like more recent Persians from the beautiful but somewhat heavy original bolstered. With bolsters please, it's such a beautiful design as Schempp's designs tend to be (I have most of the others though).

Also, Spyderhawk sprint - I ...

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???


My wife bought me the honeybadger hawkbill because I have been groaning about my lost Spyderhawk for years. It's an inexpensive knife and I hate it. At first it was ok as a hawkbill but the angle is wrong: it's too straight with the handle. The fit is cheap and it constantly needs to be tightened ...

Re: MT41P - VG XEOS Mule Team Dropping Soon


Oh yeah, I almost always avoid the $13 shipping charge by spending $75+ on another knife. It's not really the most sound financial strategy, but it's a fantastic way to justify purchasing another knife. I'm not spending more money on another knife, I'm saving money by not paying for shipping ...

Re: MT41P - VG XEOS Mule Team Dropping Soon

This went smooth and simple for me, aside from having to hop off of two simultaneous VPNs for work. Got 2, I figure rather than paying shipping, I'll just pay a little more for another knife.

Re: MT36P K294 MICROCLEAN Mule performance thread


The take away I had from this is that the knife retained its sharpness pretty well until it hit the hardest wood I had on hand. It was able to complete the job without any touch ups, although I was tempted on the Jatoba wood. The knife performed better than I thought it would at 17.5 dps and it ...

needed a dock for parking 7 mules, my new 3D printer answered the call.
combo of M398, SPY27, CPM 15V, and AEB-L (so far)
That is very cool! I wonder about stacking them, if I have more than 7 mules (I think I do but not many more)
