Spyderco Forums

Do we just need to keep checking the forum for a release date?

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...

Ok so maybe a horrible idea, maybe not... How about a Mule Team Subscription? Yearly fee that makes you a Mule Team Member or something, that just entitles you to be able to reserve/pay for a Mule Team before it's released? This would allow Spyderco to...

Any heads-up on the Mule Team Z-Wear release date?

I’m excited to post this thread in the hopes of adding a bit of a practical with a hint of a scientific review of Z Max.

I salvaged some double jacketed 1 3/4” fire hose that was headed to the dumpster. The hose had been in service since 2013 and was...

Have something different in mind for this handle. Still thinking but stay tuned.

Start with some micarta and some G10 liners

Thinking red with these (Chad called them chocolate blocks)

Last minute change to toxic yellow (looks green due to low...

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

Hello,

i tried to order 2 S45VN Mules (for me and an Austrian Forum friend) and 2 sheats on April 22.
As already told here, shop broke down at the check-out. There 3 sheats instead of 2 and no Mules.
15 minutes later i had the luck to get the 2...

What do you guys think about printing a sheath? Something similar to the Bolteron one using tension to hold it in and maybe a sliding tensioner? Perhaps one that will fit the regular scales and no scales? Two piece with screws or one piece?
:usflag...

Hi Mule Team fellows!
Just a little poll on what new steels that Spyderco hasn't presented in it's knife line yet you would like to see and test on one of the upcoming Mule Team releases? If you could choose one steel only.
Vote and/or specify your...

Hello all!

I was blessed in getting one of these coveted pieces from the SFO, and today I completed it with some G10 scales and a sheath. I have been wowed recently with everything K390 and I think this steel looks to keep up with it.

I have a tree...

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 am looking for some thoughts on stabilizing custom cherry wood scales I made for my mules.

At first I was just going to go with clear resin to show off the wood but after looking at so images on K&G it...

Here’s a mule modified for lightweight backpacking. The index finger radius was reduced for comfort, the handle slimmed, the end bobbed & a middle oval ground. All edges heavily chamfered, then the handle was stonewashed (you can just see the two-tone...

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...

Hi y'all!
I've got a question. Spyderco Mule Team knives are sample knives used for different steel performance testing in the same blade geometry, and as we all know that even the same steels at different hardness show a bit different properties in...

I am creating this poll at Sal’s request to help gauge interest in Larrin’s new CPM MagnaCut. Please select if you would like 1 or 2 and if you are in the United States or not. Also, please do not vote if you are not interested in this upcoming mule....

I would like to practice my mod skills on some other knife blanks, other than valuable Spyderco mules.

Problem is, I haven't been able to find any made of what I (and most of my Spy bros) would consider worthy steel. If I'm going to put in the time, I...

Since the mules are a symbiotic relationship, We get great priced knives for testing, What is the feedback? Please post your stories here so we can all learn. I know only a few have them so far but that will change quick.
What is the edge like?
How does...

I have a new cat in the house who isn’t socialized with my older cat yet. So, she has to stay in the bathroom while I’m away at work. The problem with this is she reaches under the door and scratches the carpet.

I thought about getting a sheet of thick...

Ordered some stabilised timber for some Mule handles last night and the website had a glitch.

The shipping came to $2569.70 :eek:

A quick email with this reply

Oh boy, if the freight would cost that much I wouldn't sell anything so yes, you are...

Does anyone know what the RC hardness is on the Z-Max Mules? Maybe Sal has a number he can give us... ;)

I am not sure how many were made but I lucked out and got a Z-Max. Maybe that one per household helped. The website was running a bit slow at the time but not even close to as bad as when the 2nds sale was on. Thank you Spyderco team for working on making...

I'm a poor drafter, but after clumsily poking around Fusion 360 for a few nights a managed to complete my first pass at mule scales:

Everything is held together by button head hex cap screws (M4x12) and embedded nuts. I think I'm going to...

It's not the latest mule but it's new to me, it's a MT19. Just picked it up off the bay. Never been used so we will see what I get :D

I have had a really good time making handles for Mules as gifts to those I know who hunt. They have excelled as a versatile blade shape, and between all that I have made and sent out in various steels, they are probably well into the triple digits on...

Hi guys, I've taken the audacity to add a small line to O. Henry's famous line to create a Mule Team slogan.
So, it becomes:

Bolivar cannot carry double. Mule can.
:cool:

Sounds like a good slogan for a Mule Team?
What do you think? Please,...

Removable onlay scales are not as popular as full-height scales, but they are sometimes seen on lightweight outdoor knives where the user may want to remove them and go with a “naked” skeletonized knife. The slim G-10 Halpern scales are undersized onlay...

Just thought it would be good to see what the potential demand for the possible elastic ceramic mule would be.

Nothing too flash yet. Sanded a rough shape and drilled for a few Mosaic pins.

Most of the work was done on a disk sander and a drill. Made the scales a bit thinner after the below shots.

Finally figuring out resizing.

I had picked up a bunch of birch wood that a road crew was clearing to widen a road. I took the wood and whittled it down to walking sticks. Recently, I took one of the sticks and split it in...

As the title says

Be good to see numbers of who’s in for the long haul or in for a few.

I have some scratches on my blade- my fault for making the sheath a bit too tight. The scratch is horizontal but the grind on the blades are vertical. This is purely a cosmetic issue but wondering if there any suggestions to remove the scratches.

Hey, everyone!
We're happy to announce the MT31P CPM S45VN Mule Team will be released on Thursday, 22-Apr-2021 at 09:00 am MDT .

You'll find it and more details here .

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

So I was looking at my new Z-Max mule, on which I currently wrapped the blade part with thick black tape so I can paracord-wrap the tang risk-free. The first layer of PC is bright neon orange. I must say this looks quite nice, the black and bright...

POST #1 - 3 PIECE LINERS (DAY 1)

Hello Mule heads!

I decided that it's been too long since my last Mule handle and it is time to make a new one. This time however, I am going to take pictures of every step of the process so you can follow along and...

I figured I would try out an ongoing thread to post up my Mule scales as I make them. Partly to just keep track of my projects in one place as well as discuss with and motivate others.

I don't have many fancy tools and I am in the middle of a move...
