Re: Changes to OpFocus Program

Of course I like saving the most money possible on purchases, when it does not harm a good company/individual. I do not expect discounts because of my service though, but will gladly accept any discount offered. After all, I signed up knowing what it entailed (mostly, I least I thought I did 🤪) and ...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!

I’ve seen where people are talking about using the HIC Mule as a dive knife. I’m not sure how great of an idea that is, unless the diver has another knife made from a tougher material as a backup. While the corrosion resistance of HIC is undoubtedly extreme, dive knifes need to be able to stand up ...

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!

I messed up, or maybe not, and scheduled friends to come over to shoot with me on my backyard firing range right at the time for the drop. So I didn’t get around to ordering till a little after 2pm my time, 3pm Spyderco time. The ordering process was smooth and easy by that point and I snagged two H...

Re: Anyone else talk crap about how many Mules they were going to buy? And then life caught up...

I have more regrets, nothing that keeps me up at night, that I didn’t buy more LC200N mules and a few others that were available for so long, that I found out about mules so late in the game, and that I somehow missed the MagnaCut mule drop. I’m not sure how many LC200N mules I did buy and give away...

Re: MULE TEAM™ K294 MT36P

K294 should perform extremely similar to the PM A11 mule. I heavily abused my PM A11 mule with no chipping or cracking. I would not advise batoning with K294. I also have a master sushi chef buddy that I gave a PM A11 mule. He absolutely loved it and used it in his restaurant to break down partially...

Re: Spyderco Online Factory Seconds Sale!

I really wish the fixed blades were offered with a sheath. Spyderco’s website was an absolute nightmare today. I really feel for the employees tha...

Re: MT34P – CPM REX T15 Mule Team Dropping Soon!

Smoothest Mule purchase yet. Despite the limit being raised to 5, I only got 2. I noticed that it was available before 9:00am MDT as well and had to double check that that was correct and that I was looking at the correct knife. Thank you Sal and Kristi for all of your hard work. It really is apprec...

Spyderco’s superlative Customer Service

Every time I’ve called Spyderco Customer Service, they’ve been courteous, prompt, and extremely helpful. On a couple of occasions, they’ve really outdone themselves. This morning was one of those occasions. I made an online purchase that appeared to have an error in my favor. I figured Spyderco woul...

Re: MT37P - AEB-L Mule Team Dropping Soon

At least initially, first few minutes after the drop, there was a limit of two. I tried ordering three and the system automatically adjusted it for a limit of two. I’m fine with that since the third one I would have gifted to a friend and there’s plenty of other good options for me to gift them.

Re: MT37P - AEB-L Mule Team Dropping Soon

Re: Mule Suggestion: Vanadis 8

David, do you have a K390 Mule? I think the difference is probably in my head, but I prefer my K390 Mule to my PMA11 in EDC use. It seems to stay 'working sharp' longer for me. Tom, I did not find out about the Mule Team Project till after the K390 Mules were long gone. The couple of knives I have ...

Re: Mule Suggestion: Vanadis 8

I bought a couple of the PMA11 mules. I wish that I’d bought several more. I kept one and put it through some heavy use and abuse that it stood up to like a champ. It’s just a beast to sharpen. I gave the other to a master sushi chef buddy of mine. He absolutely fell in love with the steel. He reall...

Ordering process was the smoothest I’ve experienced since the MuleTeam project restarted. I’m still regretting that I somehow missed the MagnaCut mule, but I do have a small fixed blade in MagnaCut ordered from another maker.

Re: MT30P - Mule Team Featuring Z-Wear PM - Release Date

I was fortunate enough to snag one. The Spyderco website, unsurprisingly, did slow down significantly right at 1000 my time(0900 MDT). It was tense and I worried at several points that it would sell out before I was able to finish checking out. My oldest nephew also snagged one. He had minimal issue...

Re: Y’all hear about this new mule to be?

I didn’t find out about and start ordering mules till you were already in the 20s models. I’m definitely interested in 2-3 of any future mule team knives as they come out. The Spy27 mule drop caught me off guard badly. I’d gotten accustomed to mules dropping on Monday mornings. I do have one Spy27 m...
