MuleTeam Giveaway! WINNER ANOUNCED!!!

[mikey177]

Congratulations, Rick. I like the Mule with the red scales too.

Thank you, Mr. legOFwhat, for having this fun giveaway.

Congratulations, Rick.
Thanks again for your generosity Mr & Mrs Legof...

[PStone]

Congrats Rick! We know it’ll get run through it’s paces for sure. Looking forward to your pics!

And big thanks to Mr and Mrs Leg for putting this on!

What an honor ....

Rick, are you plan on using the Mule at your work like your folders? So we can read about your real-life-feedbacks?
And CAN you even do this? I recall you saying that actually "officially" you weren´t even aloud to use your Spydies at work, right?
So a fixed blade (more obvious in carry and perhaps more "scary" in use for non-knife-people) might not even be an option?

Or will you rather try to keep it more pristine than you could in your work anyway?

I love that this knife will come with a sheath, so I'll be able to safely "carry" it. Depending how large it is, and the size of my jacket/hoodie this time of year, I may be able to conceal it. Otherwise I plan on bringing it in my bag.

I'm definitely going to use it at work the first week I get it, we're running on more of a skeleton crew at the mill these days with a lot of big shots working from home, so it feels a little safer to play more dangerously

I'm ecstatic about it though! I've never had a fixed blade, nor have I used this steel. I'm mostly concerned with being careful with these jaw dropping scales! My wife who normally rolls her eyes over a lot of knife stuff can't wait to see this one too :)

Sounds great! :)
Can´t wait to hear your thoughts on the steel and design (and pros, cons and feel of a fixed blade for you generally)

Now on the scales... you probably know that I normally really don´t care about keeping my knives pristine or even like them to look used.
But in THIS case, well, it would be different for me and I would be absolutely concerned about not doing anything even slightly bad to the scales too... perhaps you could wrap some tape around them in harder use? Or even order the Spyderco scales and exchange the stunning red ones with those when your planning on using the Mule hard?
Seems like the scales of the red Mule you chose are screwed, right? (While on the blue one they look pinned, not sure on both though).

[legOFwhat?]

Yep, the Kirinite scales are removable, and I have a feeling Rick will be able to use this mule just fine

With everything going on here I somehow completely missed this. Congrats Rick!!!! Cool knife to win. Also a big shout out to JR for passing on the win to someone else

Thanks again to legOFwhat for so generously sharing one of your creations

Congrats, Rick!

Those are really beautiful scales! I only have one Mule right now but would dig something like that on a future model if you sell them.
