hi Billy, I'm glad you prefer the G-10 handled one because i'm hoping that lignum handled one is mine :rolleyes:

Sorry, bubba....... Yours is out in the shop curing..... :cool:

[Michael Cook]

Here are the ones I have done up to date!!

:spyder: Nice work! Are those all yours or are you doing them for friends? :spyder:

*must repeat to self* patience is a virtue :)
So we are witnessing the birth of a "cottage industry" w/knifemakers 'slingin cool aftermarket handles for the Mule Team project :cool:

I wish they were all mine, but unfortunately they are not! In fact none of them are; I've got an awesome design for mine when the next one comes out but for now I need mine as a blank to do the interchangeable handles. They are all for others on the forums!

Now you guys gotta beat on them

Well i guess that this will make a good first post. Here's my Mule, its my first time trying any thing like handles or sheaths so here you are.

CajunMike - I like the way you oriented the grain to the blade, cool :)

Thanks mrappraisit. I did take my time in orienting the grain to the knife. Glad you like it!


Mr Sparkitle--Mighty impressive 1st post. I too am doing a leather sheath for the mule. Nice looking knife there!

Cheers,
Mike

Here's a couple sheaths for these mules as well!

raythebigfoot,
You do some fantastic work! Your scales are gorgeous and your leather work is beautiful as well.
I hope my sheath comes out half as good. :o

Thanks a bunch!! I really like that pink ivory handle you did; I'm actually getting some curly pink ivory stabilized right now to possibly use on one. Good job on keeping the contours even on both sides.

I actually think I just got lucky with my sheathwork; it just so happens that there's a tandy leather store 10 minutes away and there's a guy there that's been doing leatherwork for about 45 years. When I go to the store it's almost like taking private leatherworking classes. He will literally spend an hour or two with me each time I'm in there showing me the ropes. It's awesome!
