Sorry guys, I will keep you boring with my mule-projects. Sunday I showed you the white ash kitchen BD1, the very same day I made a rosewood aogami. Made up my mind on this Just finished it handfilling and sanding it.
It is the first rosewood I use and it...

I'm a big fan of the mule project and thank Spyderco for bothering to do it.

I recently found a 52100 mule, leaving only the CPM M4 on my grail list. I was expecting to like the steel as I'm not fussy about patination/carbon steels and I like steels...

The Big Brown Truck has just dropped off a little white box from Spyderco with my very first Mule Team in it.. :eek:
The first thing i noticed about it is it seems very light, (a good thing). This is my first mule team and it definitely wont be my last. I...

Hey guys. I just recently looked into the Mule Team. I really like the idea of designing my own knife. I really would have liked to start off with the M4 and S90V models but from my understanding the are discontinued. If you know how to get one for not to...

I received my Cobalt Mule last week, saddled it up with some brown Halpern Type 4 scales and started using it a bit for household chores. Initial thoughts:

- I've handled some sharp knives in my day, but this takes the cake. The edge on this blade is...

No worries in having to force a patina on this steel. sliced a sirloin steak
last night that had soaked up some worcesteshire, and the effect was almost instantaneous. When I use it to cut up my first BBQ butt this year, It will go all the way.
It takes...

I have an opportunity to buy a 52100 mule factory second, is there anything I should look out for? From what the seller has said and by pics he sent me I believe the only problem with the blade is stain lines. Im told that some of the stain lines on the...

I just purchased my Cobalt Mule (MT09P) from the web site. Really looking forward to bolting on some Halpern Option 4 scales and putting this one to good use.

I had some scales made by Zach last month and finally have to time to show them off a little :D

The scales that I selected from his stock were Big Leaf Maple burl professionally acrylic stabilized.

He transformed this:

To this:
Please excuse the...

Hi there,

last week I presented my most recent mule, the superblue with snakewood-scales. As I told I am a leather-man. Leather has great character and tells something about the maker/owner, more than, IHMO, a kydex sheath. I am still working on my...

I wanted to thank Josh again for the Mule and sheath that I won from his 500th post contest... thanks Josh! For now, I have wrapped the handle with some paracord I had laying around. It will do until I figure out exactly what kind of handle scales I want...

Hi everyone, Ive been swept back into my knife hobby and after stealing a used but in great shape but missing its clip Delica Clipit ATS-55 for a skant $10 at a local knife store ive come to meet you fine folks.
Ill admit a few things, First i find myself...

I am in the market in the near future for a Spyderco fixed blade. I first had my heart set on the temperance 2, but then I saw the mule team. I love the idea of basically making my own knife but don't have the time aor talent to make my own handle scales...

Hello there,

this afternoon I finished my second Mule, the aogami. The blade took some time to get here and it arrived yesterday. Yesterday-afternoon I started and here is the result.
I used snakewood and took a nice striped piece. Not all snakewood has...

I don't know about the rest of you knifenutz but I just LOVE my Mules. Does anyone know (Hello, SAL???) when the next one is due or what exotic stuff it might be made of?
I'm not asking just to be a PITA...I'm running out of blades to apply handle ideas...

I hate soliciting but I'm running short on time.

I have a good buddy who likes to gift knives to his friends that are being deployed.
He typically has me make a custom Mule with a Kydex sheath. I only charge him for the materials and donate my time.
I've...

How does your knife feel in a reverse grip?

Hi,
I have a few questions about the Mule Team. I saw them at Woodcraft, but it's made with s30v steel. It is an actual legit Mule? Second, how big are the holes for the pins?

Thx

well i got both of these and the g-10 for handles today. laying on top of what i hope will turn out to be good sheaths as i havnt made kydex sheaths before. ill try to update that as it progresses. anyway this is square one, blanks ready to go all...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was looking at the Spyderco site and saw you can still get the Blue mule. Is that correct? If so, I'm thinking of buying one for an all purpose hunting/camping knife.

So how many of you use there Mule for hunting....

I am curious if there would be any interest in a low cost Mule type blade. Same configuration as the current mule team knives, but a regular production version made at a lower cost. Possibly made in China of 8Cr13MoV, or maybe in Golden of a relatively...

Yea a Spyderco mule team knife, s30v for $69. was too hard to resist. :D

not one of the ffg versions, its got the saber ground edge. which imo makes for a nicer look and is a stronger blade shape.

now i have to start trying to figure out what im going...

Ok I am about to take sandpaper to my Mule in an attempt to put a different finish on it but before I do, does anyone know how durable the logo and all of the writing is on the blade? I don't want to sand off all of that good stuff! Is it in there deep...

Hey guys, I just received this knife from Spyderco's website and much to my surprise the blade tip was slightly bent. I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem or if you think Spyderco will exchange it for a non-defective model.

Does it require a kit? I am e newb in knife making.

I just wanted to speak about the mule in this fairly rare, high performance steel now I've had it for a few days.

First of all, comparing it to white steel: White steel has a tendency to need to be steeled, or freshened after a day or two of just sitting...

Got an email from Amazon today with a link to a CPM S30V mule for sale.

Didn't know if posting the link was kosher.

But, I thought this was unusual. Is it?

So, I did a thread showing off the Option 4 grips...

But, they added some new colors....

Pink and Natural Green...

Stacked together, might help to see the colors, side by side....

All the colors, one way...

All the colors, another...

I had to make my other MT-07 look good. The modified mule I've posted before is a worker and is next on deck to be sharpened (took the edge down a little too low). This Mule will be displayed for a while and let the the others do the work for a while.
It...

First off I want to say hello, just joined. I'm not a collector or anything, just a user, I've carried spydies for the last 12 years or so, have a couple, picture to follow (why not?). I recently became aware of the mule knives and decided to pick one up,...

Just received my mule in the mail today. I haven't opened it as I want to take some pics of the way it's wrapped and everything but I heard some people on here talking about the 2011 catalog....well I got one with my Mule so to those that didn't get a...

I want to start by thanking Sal and crew for starting such an amazing project. The mule team series really is a cool idea. Here are the recent pics from my finished mule, it is going to be hard to start using this one!

I also really have to thank...

Does anyone have any experience w/ the particular steel? I can read the composition, but I'm wandering how cool this stuff is. I'm very excited about the M390 Sal commented on last week, and I know I'll have to get one of those. I just don't know how many...

What tips and tricks (if any exist) are there for making carbon fiber mule scales. What safety measures should be taken, how well does it work. Any drawbacks as a material. A good place to get some CF. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks

Hey all, any word on when the next Mule Team will be released? I tried a search but didn't see anything.

So I just got paid, and after fulfilling all of my obligations for this month, there's quite a bit of spending money left over. I've kind of been looking at the BD1 Mule, since I don't have any fixed blades yet and it seems like it'd be a fun project, but...

I've had two Mules and feel that the handle size to blade length is somewhat awkward. Also, just the blade length alone is awkward, it doesn't seem long enough to be a good user.

Seeing pictures of the Temp 2 makes me think if the Mule had a 5 blade, it...

I got this Mule from a fellow forum member about a year ago and I had big plans for it but kind of set it aside after wrapping it with para cord.

Special thanks to member dsmegst for providing this Mule to me at cost. I really appreciate that bud! :)...
