The composition is very close to CPM Cruwear, so this should be an excellent choice. I am happy to see this offered.

My one concern in recommending the Mule Team knives for your consideration is the size of the handle. I have pretty large mitts myself and I would not want the handle on my Mules to be any smaller than it already is. I am totally with you in wishing there was more love and blade steel options for th...

I will opt for the Satin version also, for the same reasons. Living in a relatively dry environment I do not have a need for the DLC coating and in fact don't mind a bit of natural patina on my blades. I also feel the Natural G-10 scales are going to be very attractive.

Contacting Spyderco Warranty & Repair Department would be the way to find out for sure, but I can understand the time issue with a phone call, which would be the best way to contact them if you could. An email fully explaining the reasons for wanting the parts will get a reply, but please be pat...

I find my various Mules just so handy for a variety of everyday tasks that I have found this model hard for me to replace for edc. Fortunately I get to try a variety of good blade steels in the Mules, and I am hoping to see CPM REX 121 offered at some future time. I also like the .118" blade th...

Website says skeletonized. What a great price!!! The BHQ website description for the Black DLC version does indeed mention Skeletonized Liners, and the description for the Satin version, which was the one I was looking at, does not mention liners at all, so I thought possibly full liners based upon...

I’m assuming it’s skeletonized? That black and jade looks great! At an advertised weight of 5 0z. I would think the liners are not skeletonized. Just a guess, but the full ss liners on the Manix 2 weigh in at 4.9 oz. according to the Spyderco catalog. Personally I like the extra heft and feel of th...

[quote="Vivi" What's your carry method for the Mule? IWB = Inside the Waist Band, right side appendix carry with rearward cant I've been considering a larger fixed blade for EDC and wasn't sure how I'd try carrying it, thanks for the response. I put an Ark or Swick on the front of my belt...

Happy Birthday David. I wish you a great day, and many more! :)

What great news!! I just got on the notification list.
This is going to be my Christmas gift to ME!
Now I have to be good for the rest of the year ....... :eek:

[quote="Vivi" What's your carry method for the Mule?[/quote] IWB = Inside the Waist Band, right side appendix carry with rearward cant. I relocated the G-Clip to the opposite side of the Boltaron sheath for IWB carry. Very comfortable carry and easily accessible. The G-Clip clips securely ...

Everyday is the same: Mule Team with Boltaron sheath. IWB Titanium Chaparral. RFP Keys, GI can opener, screwdrivers slot & Philips, all on key ring. LFP Titanium Embassy pen, Maratac AAA-2 Titanium light. LSP Glasses. RSP Wallet with usual contents. LBP Large bandana handkerchief, Wigi bar and n...

Being pretty much of a hermit by choice and not being comfortable around large groups, especially folks I don't know, tends to keep me well away from social events of any kind. I am in no way anti-social and have my circle of friends whom I enjoy spending time with, but by and large I don't have a g...

I have found many Spyderco offerings that meet my needs and preferences regarding handle size to fit my hand well and comfortably, and a blade length that does what I need it to do. Much can be accomplished with a small blade and a bit of ingenuity, but fit in the hand is important to controlling th...

I have to agree. After carrying traditional slip joints much of my life, and then "discovering" Spyderco many years ago, I am very much a convert to the pocket clip and one hand opening, (so much easier than opening lockback knives prior to thumb studs or the "Flicket"). Still, I...

Here is a quote from my Spydiewiki files on the Mule Team series. I hope this helps. "MT21P Plain Edge Cru-Wear Sept. 2011 Jan. 2012 $59.95. Recalled due to improper heat treat. Subsequent heat treat fixed problem. Of the initial run of 600, only -450 were resold after the recall. Re-treated Mu...

All's well that ends well. Glad to hear you found your favorite.
It pays to have backups for everything you care about.

That turned out really nice. You did a great job on the re-grind. I'll bet it was a fun project. :)

One terrible thing is that an Edge Pro (or similar setup) is moving onto the top of my list of things to spend money on. Maybe when the calendar rolls over to October and a new paycheck arrives I will decide whether to dive in. I totally agree that the decision is not to be taken lightly. Here's so...
