Keeping it cheap and ugly to match my style. I dream that I can leave it on a picnic table and no one would steal it, unless they knew what it was. Made from leftover leather, cord and too much time. For the record, cord wraps suck. I am saving for a...

I was lucky enough to be able to get a 15V Mule (first mule :party-face ).
I purchased the handles from Spyderco and after putting them on I see that the tang sticks out at the top above the handles.
Is that the way it supposed to be? Why would they...

I am building a retirement gift for my son. He has served in both the Police Department, and the FIre Department in his career. Building a thin blue/thin red line handle for a Mule he can use as a boat knife. The standard scale size of 5 inches by 1 1/2...

Is your Mule Sense tingling for the T15 mule? Have any of you experienced T15 in another blade? What do we know about T15...the good, bad & ugly? Spyderco says it's an end mill steel, so that means I need one. Maybe I can chuck it in my mill and use...

Was a few thousandths smaller than the other one. Used a jewelers plastic hammer (a hard rubber one would also work) on a rubber work mats to gently make it fit for the hard plastic bushing. Few seconds is all - but something to know about.

The new 15V...

As the title suggests, let's see those reshaped Mule handles... unfortunately the Mule team handle's shape doesn't fit well with my hands, thus I have been thinking about having someone reshape the handles into something more ergonomic for me. I know...

I will try to wrap my coming MT23 with some paracord I have at hand. Obviously there are different techniques how to do it, with different results. How did you do yours? Feel free to post pics, maybe even a link to a video showing how to do it in that...

So I went to put my Halpern scales on and the barrels wont fit through the holes. Yay. Checked for burrs like we have seen before, none. Tried to hammer them through, tried to pull then through with a screw on the other side and no joy. Tried some other...

Any interest in Bohler K294? 2.5% carbon, 9.5% vanadium. Over on BF, Ankerson says for edge retention, K390 is close to K294 but that nothing he's aware of, beats K294 or 10V yet (that was posted in 2012). K294 steel is the steel when one needs the...

I am considering having scales made with a water jet. I need drawings to supply info to expedite the finishing steps for scales. Are there any drawings available? I have not located any to date. My plan is to use thin slices of cool stone patterns for...

I was not happy with many of the 3D printed scale designs I found online as it seemed many did not use the available holes on the tang to index on, or at least did not use many of them. I designed these to be as hard use ready as I can.

The next...

Hi guys

Have a set of 3D printed scales made by our resident guru FullScaler to give away to an Australian. Won them in one of his giveaways so happy to send them on via a giveaway.

Post a please and I will pick who the lucky owner will be if I...

Since I had the mules corralled up and finished working on the Z-max, I thought I'd share a photo. :squinting-tongue

I'm to try to turn this thin-blue-line sheet of Kydex into a sheath but I'm not sure how to get the most effect out of it...

I managed to get 2 this morning. It was a struggle. I just checked the Mule Team Sales page and the 15V is no longer pictured. Did it actually sell out that fast?

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...

Wow! That was quick...

Now they need to make MULE TEAMS:

125V

10V

Again - on the website..

Ok Team. Here's the dream. I'm hoping for an Aeb-L Mule baton sample of more than one ;) . So, who is up for it? Aeb-L is a tough steel, machete steel, I dare say bushcraft steel. Hit it!

Or, add to the sensible list of why one should not use a knife...

May have been posted prior. I found this and other YOUTUBE interviews fascinating on the way
the 15V was to fit in between the K390 and the Maxamet blades... for Spyderco...

Enjoy especially if it interests YOU...

Hello All,

It is rare that I start a thread here and this will be a first of sorts for me. I purchased 4 (yes boys, four) AEB-L Mules to back up my sentiments in asking Spyderco to introduce finer grained and higher hardened low-end steels into their...

I received an Aebl Mule and have never been so much, on the fence about a blade before. By my eye it appeared to be ground a little deep, and the leftover burr is obvious. I did spend a fair week weighing pros and cons of sending it back to Spyderco....

Any chance of a Vanadis 8 Mule?

Dont get me wrong , I like my Mule ..

But !
A) The shape makes it hard to index the Mule in the hand for various tasks ( Curved grip )
B) The grip is a little cramped for my hand ( I had to stretch my Mule )
C) The Mule is not super comfortable for...

I just got my 3rd mule, and first since the 9Cr18 mule from years ago, bringing me to look for scales. Who's making good scales at a good price. I'm not looking for anything fancy as this is intended to be a user. Suggest away! Thanks.

I recently had time to finish wood scales for my two MagnaCut Mules. One is figured maple with black G10 and the other is Walnut with white G10. I plan to give them to my boys when they are a bit older. See below for some of the steps I took to make...

I'm not the only one to notice how the M398 Mule gracefully transitioned to, Out of Stock nearly the same time the Aebl Mule came, In Stock. No empty shelf, no FOMO, happy customers. Aebl Mule happily holds the title, In Stock until... well...

The Mule...

I've no idea what mule team #36 is/was/will be. Do you know?

I recently picked up about .75bf of Gaboon Ebony wood from my last trip to Ghana. It was locally sourced and only $35 (normally $100/bf). As you can see from the picture one block has a beautiful sap line that I thought would make a great Mule handle....

Hello fellow spider enthusiasts! I have been working on a sheath that is nearly entirely 3d printed. It does require 6 M3 bolts/nuts. It can be printed without supports, but I recommend them, only for the recesses for the nuts/bolts.

I printed in PLA,...

Wanted to inquire about sharpening angles before this BenchStone arrives. Most of the mules have stayed far too sharp for my beginner status but it's really looking like time for a proper sharpening on my Mules. Specifically I have a SRS13/SUS 405, CPM...

The thumb ramp on the Mule is abrupt, and prone to hurt the thumb when using sabre grip, if the blade stops short. Would the mule series be ruined if the thumb ramp were relaxed a few degrees in upcoming mules? More of a Manix-style thumb ramp, perhaps?...

How good was ordering a Mule today..

Credit where credit is due…site was crisp and easy today. Not one refresh :eight-ball

Great work team

Which MULE has its own Sheath & Scales?

SPY-27?
