S90V seems to be as common as grass these days.

you've been on that Alaskan cruise too long

Huh? Are you thinking of the Woodcraft Mule in S30V? That was a whole different deal. From my memory: the woodcraft mule was a dealer exclusive. Some woodworker website. The previous release of bushcraft blades was after the original Bushcraft knife with wood handle turn out bad. The wood supplier ...

As a compulsive buyer of cool things, I will get a table at a gun show about once every two years and take a bunch of stuff and price decently so I sell half or more. At one I took a bunch of knives including spydercos and priced the same as I would on BF. A hundred people wanted to flick them, I go...

I have lots of experience with deer. Although any knife can get the job done, the various drop point hunters are ideal. The Spyderco Moran in drop point. but I think the Benchmade Hunt series has one I would choose over the Moran. Benchmade just came out with the Hunt series. It is much better then ...

I have handled it and liked it. However the tanto is a deal killer for me.

no temper issue with the Ken Onion work sharp, it is variable speed and will go quite slow. I would take the KO worksharp over the sharpmaker in a heartbeat. I have had a sharpmaker for a long time, and have used the KO worksharp ( I have seen a demo but not used the regular work sharp, not so impre...

Can someone explain this knife?

I've not encountered that. But the best lube I have found is Slip 2000. I have it in regular gun oil, EWL, and grease. I use one of the three on about everything that needs lube

K294/CPM 10V would be the next step from K390, but depending on hardness and HT one would really have to test to see much of a difference. From CPM S110V the next step would be CPM S125V at high hardness, 63-65 RC, but not sure if that would be possible production wise and or keep them affordable a...

To those who are seemingly going to miss out, history teaches us that there will be some more added to the store in coming days.

I also take apart if grit or something gets in the mechanism. So post a pic of the pig, then take the knife apart again. If you have questions post them here and post photos and you will get it resolved. Your next purchase should be a fixed blade or you will go through this every time. Seems like Sp...

At first glance I thought the OP wanted to quit using VG10 and S30v and just use the better steels. I was ready to jump on that bandwagon!

The masses drink Folgers coffee and think it is good. But people who know what good coffee is would walk a mile to get good coffee rather then drink a cup of Folgers. Same thing you are saying about knives. It's the way of the masses.

Apparently yes.. When I clicked it I got Sal's cell phone number

Great photography by the way. What you see has nothing to do with grind, it happened later. Can you send it back and exchange it with the dealer? Not out of line at all to request that. For someone who is just going to use the knife there is no problem, but sounds like you are more the collector type.

One thought, in addition to the thicker giving it a nicer feel, the thicker might also have an increased ability to trap dust and become a negative over time. Something for some continued study if you care to.

I have been busy so haven't finished my K390 Mule to like it better then other special steels. However, I always buy the knives that come out with a great steel.

sal wrote:Do you think there is still interest in a Mule Team of 204P since it is being used in production?

sal

I'm late to this thread, but I would definitely buy 204P. I buy 2 of each (one to use & one for the collection) with the exception of BD1 and that Chinese steel.

The factory person that sharpened the knife probably changed the angle he/she was holding by the time they got to the tip. I have never been there or seen a photo or video. but by looking at blades I am guessing they are sharpened relatively free hand. Probably an angle guide to start with but not t...

I would love to see a lefty in one of the frame lock models. Lefties are the only minority or under-served group of people that have no legal special privileged, and the only claim I have to being a minority or disadvantaged person.
