Hi KKknives,
Welcome to our Mule Team forum and thanx much for chiming in. You will find this group is a "hands on" knife aficianado's always searching for the "ghost".
We were discussing plans in our R&D meeting yesterday. I'm using the smaller version at my home and the larger version is being tested by the R&D team. Alex will be contacting you regarding the possibility of a Mule Team. I think that it would be a good thing for you, to get exposure, and for our End Line Users (ELU).
I'm sharpening the piece I have with a fine grit CBN bench stone, to which it seems to be responding well. I'm reducing the edge angle by a few degrees.
We did make a knife in Switzerland back in the 90's. Michael Walker design, blades made in Colorado, Carbon Fiber from the Sauber F1 racing team. Titan liners made in Switzerland.
Are you seeking a US distributor? Alex is working with me and he can be contacted at
asmith@spyderco.com
Stay in touch.

Hi Sal
First, let me say that it is a huge honor for me to talk to "the legend" himself. The imagination of you sitting with one of our knives at home is just unreal to me... A Spyderco PM2 was the first "proper" knife I bought about a decade ago with the first money I earned. And now here I am, discussing doing business with you. I need to digest this first, it feels like a dream. But I digress.
I am looking forward to hear from Alex via mail directly; I wrote an e-mail to Ms. Powell this morning, so you have my e-mail adress. US-distribution as I hinted also indeed is interesting for us, since shipping from Europe to the US is expensive. The person to talk to in that regard is Natacha, I also included her e-mail in my afformentioned mail and will forward the contact of Alex to her. (I am your contact for anything technical and production related.)
You finding the elastic ceramic to work well on a CBN stone is interesting; I never really had good results with the elastic HIC ceramic on various stones besides mild success on vitrified diamond stones. Very interesting, really. Was it vitrified CBN?
Will stay in touch and looking forward to hear from Alex!
