Hey messer454--I envy you! Can you recall if the one you saw had the Endura style clip with the lanyard hole, as in that same picture? Since the picture from that German website shows a knife without an actual lanyard hole, it seems cheesy to have an Endura clip on it with a non-functional hole. I ...

Tip still seemed ultra pointy to me. But then the old flat ground G10 Police seems pointy to me too.

Handled...but available? Not yet. I just got back from the SHOT show where Sal, Kristi and Crew let me handle the G-10 Police. (Over and over again) It is awesome!!! The prototypes I held were flat ground, black handle, and had a 4 position clip (which is the part I like the best of all.) Just like...

Mule Team Handle Picture Thread

I had to do something while I waited for my Micarta and hardware to come in. I am not totally happy with it but it will work for now. Please show your handles as you get them done.

I'll play. Yes, the bottom one is my "custom" blue/gray handled Endura. My new favorite until my G10 one comes in.

I'd love to pick up an Endura G10, but at the above-$100 price point, it's a hard sell against a Military, Para-Military and others. If the street price were in the $80-100 range, it would be much more attractive. Perhaps but the Military and Para have always had the tip going the wrong way up for ...

Sal, 3/16 inch mule hole question

Sal, I saw in another thread that you plan to increase the holes in the next Mule to 3/16". Could you confirm for me that they will be on the same center? I am just starting to make my handles and if I can just enlarge my current holes to 3/16 and have them line up with the next run that would ...

What can you expect from you new knife.
Well first off an empty wallet. Second, a messy floor covered with paper shaving. Third, an oddly smooth arm :) . Fourth, a new friend.

That is both incredibly funny and true!

I got in 3. I sold two to coworkers and I am keeping the third. I feel that the handles are more "rounded" and "finished" than the Byrds. It looks and feels like a Spyderco to me. Mine will shave hair. I too don't have a big problem with the blade steel in this model. I kinda fin...

Nice case Tony! I have thought of that several times but the thought of losing mine in a fire or from theft makes me cringe so I keep them in the safe. Tempting idea though, very tempting.
