Hey, everyone! We have carefully monitored the MT33 inventory, and based on current availability, we've lifted the purchase limit.

Thank you for your interest in the Mule Team!

I thought I'd start a new thread for people's first impressions, performance, and testing reviews of MT33 CPM REX 76.

I just got it minutes ago, so I've only had time to get the scales on it.

I did some BESS testing on the factory edge. Very sharp,...

It took about 15 minutes with the website slow down but I got a couple. How did you guys do?

After seeing Gtscotty's scales here I decided to try my hand at it. I'm not sure how he did it but the way I went about it was very convoluted so I don't think I can explain easily. Here's pictures of both still in fusion because I wanted feedback on how...

What is your Maggie Mule performance? I just got my two this morning :star-struck and will have to scale up and put to the gauntlet. Mine came pretty sharp, enough to shave but not pop arm
hair cleanly. Will have to strop and see results. The first one I...

MT07 was the only Damascus blade and I've drooled for years now looking back at pictures. If you could get your way, what pattern would you want?

May be a few years down the line but I'm willing to wait if we could get another Damascus Mule! Who's with...

I found some good maple to try to stabilize for mule scales. Should I just do donate money to charity and whack my thumb with a hammer then buy stabilized wood and be ahead of the game or try it at home?

What I know…
Very little
you need a vacuum or...

Hey, everyone!
We're happy to announce the MT33P - CPM REX 76 Mule Team will be released on Tuesday, 20-Sep-2022 at 09:00 am MDT.

MSRP: $75.00 (USD)

Mule Team handle scales ( MTGBK ) and sheaths ( MTLSH ) and ( MTSH ) will also be available through...

This is the first version of my 3d printed sheath that's going to be matched up to my scale designs. It is a 2 piece clam-shell that uses the Spydiehole for retention. The belt clip still needs designed, not sure how it's gonna look yet. Once I test and...

With the greater numbers being produced, (thank you Sal, et al) more people can enjoy the hobby of steel nerdery at a great price point. The only people butt hurt are the flippers :winking-tongue
I intend to keep getting two of every kind and perhaps...

I'm so glad to have finally have the opportunity to be apart of the Edgucation! But go'lee if I didn't dang near have a heart attack!!! Website was moving slow so I was sure at&t throttled my speed at the worst possible time! When the link finally...

Thought I would drop this one in its own thread since I may do a few like this now that I have all my stone working tools setup again.

Still a lot of work to do to get it fine tuned and polished but I have been wanting to do some Jade scales for quite...

If you have a photo of your workshop, care to share? And please list the power tools you use.

Sal, Can we see a mule in this?
I did a pre order of one. I will let you know how I like it.

I just noticed tonight that my LC200N mule is taichung and my SPY27 is Golden Colorado. Is this a function of the steel or something else? I could care either way. I think they are both top quality. Im just curious.

Hey, everyone:
Please be aware that effective immediately, we are temporarily unable to ship consumer orders to Australia and New Zealand. This restriction is due to suspensions imposed by USPS, Australia Post, and New Zealand Post due to COVID-19....

It's more of a make work/keep busy type of job. This is the Z-Max eating wood and pooping shavings. I have filled several big tubs and the blade has not really dulled, it has slowed...

Could you guys post some photos of leather sheaths for the blades? Links and other ideas welcome. Thanks!

Well I figured since everyone is starting to get their Mules. Handles and cord wraps are getting done. Lets have a picture thread. :)

So post your Mule :D :D :D

I'll start of course with mine.

Natural G-10 With an Anso texture. It looks...

I was a little surprised not to see an actual performance thread rather other than sharpening and first impressions. Hopefully this thread will begin receiving some additional feedback (or linked to the current running performance thread that I am unaware...

I was on ebay and noticed a huge number of MagnaCut Mules for sale or sold.

With today's strong interest in Mules, should Mule purchases be limited to only one?

Just got an email from Halpern Titanium with a link to preview their new website for ordering Mule handles- actual sales won't go live until 4:30 PM EST on Monday but you can start looking to see what's available.

Separate page to purchase extra...

If the mule program gets new life breathed into it via a folding mule, what is your preference?? Select all of the ones that you would participate in by buying most or all of the new steels that are released in this format.

While my preference is the...

This post is something of a redux. My first one ever here (some luck!) got buried over the weekend so I'm offering again. SSL issue and the Mulling over the Mule post is way down the list (original posting). Excuse me if this is poor form.

I designed a...

WOW! Thank you Sal!

Edit. Fixed title

Did anybody cut it off?
I am wondering if it is preventing you from using the part of the edge closest to the handle (heel).
Thinking about skinning and butchering mostly, but also cutting food on a board

Hi everyone! Would like to know is the forum the best place for release dates or is there somewhere else that will have a better sense of timing? Does anyone know what the window of time is to purchase a knife? Thanks

We've had two mule pre-release polls (that I'm aware of) that sampled the forum's interest in an upcoming mule. I've been curious whether one could roughly predict demand from a forum poll. Two events is not enough to get a stable estimate, obviously! But...

Anyone know of mule scales that support a lanyard? Having trouble finding one.

Just got your full 2022 Catalog and Reveal in the mail today. I am not sure if everyone gets one or just your favorite customers but it was a great surprise. Tons of knives in there, steel charts, steel compositions, locking mechanism explications and...

Who's excited for the CPM T-15 mule? I hope it does well so Spyderco uses it in a folder! How many have experience with any version of T-15. It's been around so long you would think it'd be more popular.

I've been tinkering with the idea to make profile mod scales for the Mule Team. No tang modifications needed. This is just a rough alpha to get some input on the design.

How soon? And are you in? I am.

Just got my package from :bug-red SFO, and got the H-2 literature. I was wondering why there was no mule team blade to test it out. It says that the change from H-1 was because of the impact on the industry from COVID-19, so maybe it was a forced and fast...

The golden rule for choosing your sequence is to never skip more than 1 grit.

For example, if you start with P80, and need to finish at P240, rather than using every grit from P80 – P220, you can do P80 – P120 – P180 – P240. This sequence cuts out...

In the spirit of the recent Random Acts Of Kindness thread I have decided to do my own giveaway as my random act of kindness.

I have recently been 3D printing Mule scales as well as making some custom leather sheaths for my mules. I would like to offer...

Searched the forum directly and through google and couldn't find this. Any interest in serrated mules? I can see this being a thing for the SPY27 perma-mule if it's not viable for the periodic mules. I think seeing how a steel handles serrations is an...
