psh..."nothing special" he says.... dude that pic is AWESOME! I think I might make that my new screensaver!

This week's entry is snack time hiking in Oregon with my Stretch 2.

Wow! Thanks Deacon! Great job Tap78, and to everyone that submitted!

My $300 Spydercos are some of my favorite knives. The one that stands out above the rest though is the Slysz Bowie. That is one fantastic knife in every way! I agree with those that suggested the Techno, as it too is a very nice knife for considerably less money, but the Slysz Bowie is my suggestion...

I know that exact problem all too well. That's what Spyderco does to us...they make too many knives I HAVE TO own. :p

Snack time while hiking through Oregon with my Stretch 2. Taking in the view with my Stretch 2. Hi xplorer, Nice pictures! Sadly, you'll need to choose just one to enter this week, because we're only supposed to submit one picture. You can enter the other picture in next week's contest. :) Thank yo...

Thank you spyderwolf! This is my first Mule. I am really liking the size and the thin blade is the best slicing fixed blade I have ever owned. :) :spyder:

Skidoosh wrote:Nice work. What thickness is the Kydex?

Thank you! The Kydex is .080". I considered using .060 for a sheath this small but since nearly all of the sheaths I own are .080 I went with what I am most used to.

Well, I finished my sheath for the Mule 21. It was a bit of a project because I decided to make a press for the Kydex instead of buying a press or using a bench vise. I'm glad I took the time. Now that the press is done, making more sheaths is going to be a lot easier in the future. Here's the press...

Really nice work there xplorer, when are you starting to take orders? :) Lol..Thank you Johnnie1801! For now I'm just having fun playing with my knives in my garage...but life is a crazy ride...I suppose working on other people's knives could happen one day, but I have no short-term plans for that ...

I love copper and green micarta. Very, very nice! Do you think that the copper added any noticeable weight? It is a bit heavier than steel. I have a piece of 1/8 " thick copper plate that i was gonna use to make some scales for a swick. Thanks for all of the nice comments guys!! bearfacekiller...

All of the knives in my collection are used in outdoors adventures of some sort. I always have a Spyderco with me when I hit any trail for any reason. Here's a few shots I've taken with my Spyders in the wild... http://i.imgur.com/Ogn4AxMh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XEFhkGzh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fpPHk...

Snack time while hiking through Oregon with my Stretch 2.

I picked mine up today and I love it. It has better flipping action than I anticipated. The fit and finish are just as great as I have come to expect from Taichung. This is going to be a nice light-weight addition to my collection. I can see paring this with my Bradley Bowie fixed blade as well as u...

The Mule Team 21 is my first Mule. Receiving it inspired me to attempt to make my first custom scales. Since I've been doing wood working as a hobby since I was a kid I figured I could probably pull this off, but you never know until you know....ya know? So I ordered some Micarta and some copper pie...
