So, you bought a Mule Team? Congrats! Are you looking for a little inspiration to personalize it? Are you interested in testing the steel and comparing it against another? Or have you already personalized and tested multiple Mules, and you want to share...
Hi folks. I purchased a MT off the secondary market that already has Halpern Micarta 3D scales installed but no sheath. Has anyone tried using any of the sheaths off of the Spyderco site for these scales and are they compatible? Does anyone know of a good...
I was wondering if anyone had interest in a titanium alloy mule. As a backpacker, gear weight is a big consideration; that is why cookware and utensils are made out of titanium. Titanium is corrosion resistant and not affected by saltwater. It has been...
I know much of the Mule Team program was designed towards knife steel discovery and testing. Along with the great discussions we have here about steel qualities, sharpening, and handle/sheath making, I thought a thread with a user-oriented tone could...
This one looks interesting, similar to other super tool steels, but the composition is a bit different, with higher W and Co, which is interesting. I have never seen a knife made from it, and there isn't much out there except Bohler spec sheets and a few...
I plan to cut out the metal between the large holes of a mule, creating one or more ovals and lightening the knife. I've done this before by first rough-cutting the area between holes with a Dremel-style cutoff disc, then smoothing the edges with a small...
With the disappointing news of not being able to get a Rex121 mule, it got me thinking of what we could expect next. I'm hoping for the Vanadis 8 or even 4E (love 4V steel), ASP60 or even another laminated steel or better yet Damascus.
For anyone who's used one, how do you like the mule team leather sheath? As the upcoming HIC mule will not fit the standard Boltaron sheath, I was considering purchasing one of the leather ones rather than the HIC mule-specific Boltaron model, my thought...
I just purchased a SPY27 mule and am hoping to try it out this year skinning a whitetail. The blade shape isn't that of a typical skinning knife so I'm wonder if anyone has used the mule for skinning and how did you like it.
I touched up the edge to hair shaving sharp and then used my AEB-L Mule to cut up circa 2Kg of top round steaks into jerky meat. At the end, the edge was still shaving sharp and there was no discoloration on the blade. This one will probably go with me on...
First proto for a SPY27 mule, one of many I'm sure. Long way to go till its useful.
Used the slicer to split down the center of the blade cutout & flip one side over.
Otherwise the blade cutout volume would have been a hot mess.
Took about 95 mins to...
Would love if Spyderco would produce a base comparative test set of mules. This way we could all have a base test set to compare new knife steels with. Not sure what steels would be in the base mule set. But maybe the Spy 27, one of the salt series...
Since I picked up my Mule I realized that there was going to be a problem attaching scales to the blade. The holes drilled in the are all strange sizes and not standard at all. So I have been trying to come up with a solution. Here is what I came up with....
Whilst we're fresh from Reveal 15's introduction of Takefu's VG XEOS, I've learned of another new addition to their line-up that they're calling SPG STRIX. STRIX stems from the words ST RONG MAT RIX .
Ok. Long title. But, I do not wish to feel alone in this. I would like to think there are others out there like me who stumbled upon the Mule Team, caught the fever, bought the Mules and then started talking crap.
Hey friends, I’ve finally decided to buy my first mule and need some help choosing steel. It will be for general house/yard work type edc and maybe car camping. I’m trying to decide between AEB-L, SPY27, and the VG XEOS when it drops.
First, for everyone saying both, nice thought but not an option right now.
The descriptions read on Spyderco's web pages don't really help me differentiate between them. Rex T15 seems to be an older steel and K294 appears to be a brand formulation.
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 it to...
I wanted to share a recent project that I’ve been working on with my most recent Mule purchase. This is the second Mule for me, and I realized that even though I love the concept behind the Mule Team I don’t ever carry fixed blade knives. Since I carry a...
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...
