Re: 1st Mule: M398 hunting model

Re: epoxy, dry, then install screws - from the few videos I've seen of makers putting handles on (not Mule Team blades), they screwed on the pins right at the beginning, before drying. Do I have it wrong or is this something different about Mule Teams? If I let it dry w/o the pins, could the scales...

Re: Straight Forward Comments About Spyderco's From Another Forum

Being a fisherman it was H1 Salts that converted me to Spyderco in the early 90s

Steels kept me buying.

Mules have me addicted. :winking-tongue

Re: 1st Mule: M398 hunting model

Great set up… Having the same handle scales. It fits in the Boltron sheath pretty snug. It would be easy to pin and epoxy the scales. Just drill out the holes to the widest point and use a same size pin. Some epoxy a pin and a few clamps it would take a few minutes to do. https://files.catbox.moe/h0...

Re: Forum Exclusive Kickstarter

How does everyone feel about Ultem? Hmm Ultem could kind of be the burnt amber. Right? Amber is pretty accurate. https://i.imgur.com/3Z65Jf5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PkzqRhf.jpg So I keep reading and trying to build upon current ideas. So I am wondering if the knife was a non-locking PM2 or 3 would ...

Re: That's an awesome knife... Where can I buy it?

Great that Spyderco has up’d their social media game.

Think it’s good to see past, present and future.

It’s not all about needing that knife.

(Makes me feel better for all the discontinued knives I have purchased over the years :smlling-eyes )

Re: What makes a knife good?

To me it’s all about a good steel.
Spyderco is a company that is well known for the best steel selection

H1 was what mostly brought me to Spyderco in the early days.

The GB1 and M4 is the one that had me hooked on the brand.

Re: Catcherman LC200N Sprint Run

So had an older mate who is a huge fishing nut, and he saw these somewhere and has asked about buying one.

Not being in the states or a sprint chaser, so how would say a sprint of these work….(ie; where would you buy one ??)

Re: About knives & vibrations

Pocket knives go in pocket…don’t over think it. The occasional spa treatment will sort out anything.

Watch guy also and have plenty of 1950-60 Vintage Omegas that run as good as the day they left Omega with a regular service history.

I think the Ultem on black would be kinda cool. Maybe some tritium in the pins too.
I would be going white G10 with black G10 pins….the Stormtrooper ;)
