watch out! there's a new sheath maker in town.

this knife is surprisingly comfortable to hold even without scales...the palm swells are awesome.

Here is my 1st and 2nd mule team. I did mine in black /green 3/8 canvas with orange g-10 liner. My dads bday gift is red liner with cocobolo 1/8. Neat project. Not happy with results though. I couldn't finish them as nicely as I wanted. My dads was close...

I searched a little and didn't see exactly what I was looking for. Trying to get a leather horizontal and vertical carry leather sheath for my new Mule Team build.

Any makers recommended by the group here?

Hi there,

I just found this in my drawer and wondering what the sale value of this thing might be (I forgot I had it!) It's NIB. I figured this is the best place to ask...

Thanks!

Ok I made the mistake of finding a thread else where about the Mule Team. Awesome idea. I have wanted to start making knife handles, and this is a perfect thing. I got a few Mule 16 to do. I plan to make one for my molle vest at work, and the rest will be...

How do I find out when the next release is out?

Thanks in advance

Anyone get a chance to try out the latest mule yet? I miss all the rope cutting vids. I will be glad to do some cutting as soon as I can find some scales I like for my Mule. Although I admit I am no sharpening expert yet.
Is there a spot or sticky for...

Any interest for a Mule featuring this alloy ? Regards MG2

I've been looking at getting one or two but haven't gotten the slightest clue what to use them for. They look a bit too small and i'm not sure about them. Are they great beaters or kitchen knives? Any ideas?

Just ordered my first mule team knives (2 of CTS XHP). I know that there are numerous threads on this but does anybody know of sheath makers who I do not have to send the knife too (preferably leather and kydex, one of each). Also Halpern's site is down...

While looking at the new 2013 catalog I spotted some must buys for 2013, one of those being the new Enuff fixed blade with FRN scales. Looks like a great design. This got me thinking about the Mule line and the up coming release of the next model. Sal is...

What mule team variation is the best? I was thinking the MT11 but there are so many. What do you recommend?

I have been a spyderco folder nut now for about 3 years. I have seen the mule series of knives but just don’t fully understand the concept. I know they are made out of different steels Im guessing to show case what steels spyderco offers. But I have a few...

I haven't heard much about these mules so I thought I'd begin a thread.

I'll begin by comparing it to BG42. At the reported hardness of over rc 62 I'll have to say it's much easier to sharpen on SIC, and diamond type DMT's. All steels fall to these but...

I see that on Spyderco the CTS-B75P is out of stock, and all ather
are discontinued.

Is that saying a new one is comming soon?
Is the 204 CP the next or maybe K390?
Thanks

I have one of these puppies in the mail, and I plan on making wood handles for it. However I want to buy a custom leather sheath, so I was hoping I could see some Mule sheaths you guys have acquired :) . Thanks in advance!!!

To all Mule Team members: I would like to put forth an idea regarding the development of a control or standardized model to be used in testing past, current and future Mule Team blade steels. I am seeking interest and opinions to encourage Spyderco to...

I searched for this and didnt find anything on this topic, but when i received my latest Mules i noticed that one of them has a little rock or stone of some sort stuck inside one the holes in the handle. any idea what this is?

Thank you,

I see that there is now a Mule #15 listed in the online catalog:

Is the Mule #14 on hold?

Semi off-topic: Is there a way to get the online catalog to list in alphabetical order again? It was a lot easier to use that way IMO.

I just ordered a Cruwear mule and I already have plans to make some maroon linen micarta scales for it with black micarta pins. I also plan to force a patina on the blade because I think it looks cool and will differentiate it from my two other mules. I...

I've been working to get a cabinet to showcase some of my Mules for the past year. I originally started out to build a cabinet myself - but my skills just aren't up to the task. So I searched around looking for just the right cabinet - and found it from...

Hi Sal, Eric and all Spydies,

My name is Jay and pretty new here.
Recently caught on the Mule fever and started looking out for exotic steels in it.

In the Cruwear post i've heard that Elmax might be the next Mule.

From the other post i've read that...

Thanx for the support. Now maybe youse guys can help us pick some new Mule Teams?

The Cruware Mule is getting ready to be released again. CATRA tests were quite acceptable, especially for an ingot steel. The Elmax Mule teams are on the shelf for the...

Hi Sal, Spyderco, and :spyder: members,is anybody knowing
the release day of the Mule MT 14? ;)

If i remember right it is the CTS204P steel,or is it the K390?
Thanks for answer.

Cheers

I recently purchased a Spyderco Mule Super Blue due to loving the steel so much. The issue is there are many scratches and a few black lines on the blade handle and the spydie hole cut is not clean and seems to be poorly finished (top of the hole has a...

There has been a lot of discussion and questions about the recently announced recall of the MT12P Mule Team with Cru-Wear. I'm hoping to answer at least a majority of your questions here.

Once your MT12P is returned to SFO you will be issued a refund...

Please keep Spyderco in mind before you ask for something that will

2) wear out their equipment and cause revolts on the shop floor
3) Be impossible to get, dangerous to work, or belongs to...

I haven't heard anything about MT-14 in a couple of months. There were a couple of different steels mentioned, but I don't remember any definitive confirmation from the folks in Golden.

Mules seem to be released every 6 months or so - in that case we...

Found those on BF, looks like a knifemaker.... *Edited*

hi,
this is my first post here so please cut me some slack
if this is in the wrong area.
i just bought a Spyderco Mule that is the 52100 ball-bearing steel
that is very sharp and strong and rusts if you look at it too long,
as someone put it. I keep it...

...until after the BLADE Show!

I'm sure Sal and the gang are up to their ears getting ready for the show. I'm assuming we probably won't see the new Mule release until after they get back.

The waiting is the hardest part... :cool:

TedP

could you get the elmax re heat treated to say 61 HRc instead of 58.2 HRc it is said to be LOVE THE KNIFE.just expected at least 60-61HRc

I'm constantly blown away by the level of craftsmanship some of you bring to scale construction, so I figured I'd ask the best.

How do you contour scales? What shape do you go for, and how to you arrive there? Is it all mental, an eyeballed guess?

I bought the Woodcrafter Mule about a year ago and just today finished this bad boy. It's my first time attempting to put scales on a knife so I think it went pretty well. I definitely learned a lot so hopefully when I get to putting carbon fiber on my...

I have been using an M390 mule with Halpern scales ever since it was first released. I've also been enjoying the M390 PM2 and more recently the Military in the same steel.

I see a Mule CPM S30V being sold by Woodcrafters. Does anyone have any info about these? has anyone built one? Is it the same as all the other Mules but with CPM S30V? This will be my first try at building from a blank. So i dont want to start off with...
