Thought we need a thread to show the stuff we have for putting our mule handles on.
Can be pieces of wood, Micarta…etc

I will start with some pins recently acquired.

As some of you here know I will tolerate a hollow concave grind if the knife is good quality but I prefer the Saber and Scandinavian and Zero Blade grinds on knives, and flat grinds second to those. I like thick convex grinds on my knives with blade...

They have all sorts of hand made sheaths and pouches for knives, including ones made from what looks like rayskin.

The Japanese often used ray skin as the grip material on the samurai sword handles.

Hi all, I just picked up a PM2 (my second) and the blade pivot is very stiff. I also have a Para 3 and Manix 2...neither came out of the box like this. One of the clip screws also has a sharp burr on it as well and gave me some trouble tightening when...

Hi folks,

Hi,
I just bought a PM 2 Salt in DLC coated MagnaCut and I am cutout what the HRC would be on a DLC MagnaCut blade. Because of the application of DLC coating the hardness is sometimes lower than without a coating due to the heat of application.
And what...

I recently purchased an autonomy 2 as my first auto. After carrying the knife for a few weeks It’s been one of the toughest and straight-up utilitarian knives I have owned. For its size it carries well in jeans and work pants. It would be nice to have a...

I got a really good deal on this knife. Reportedly from a reputable seller, but I wanted to post here to be sure.

The only reason I have any doubts is because the pivot screw is a T9 and I expected it to be either a T8 or T10 like my Manix 2. Also, the...

Does anyone have a link, or know where a guy can find deep carry clips for the co-pilot and/or the Police model? Both S.S., older. I believe the Police I have is from about '89 and the co-pilot is maybe '92. Anyone come across anyone who makes those deep...

Anyone own one? How do they like it? I’m thinking about picking one up

Just received email from CSI that the Manix XL CruWear is available in limited quantities . MG2

Can anybody tell me if the screw that holds the pocket clip on the Para 3 LW will seat properly with the clip removed?

Thanks.

Please? And maybe in 14C28N steel? AND tanto point? ;)

Hi All,
Haven't been able to find an answer to this yet, but now that some Crucarta Para 3s are in the wild, figured I'd ask. Will the liners on the Crucarta Para 3 work for a G10 build. Looking to be able to swap some Blades We Love titanium fauxmascus...

Dear all,

quick question I can`t find answer to, does UKPK have the same spinning pivot CQI solution\prevention as Urban has? I am talking about this steel inlay inside the scales preventing main pivot from spinning.
