In the name of mule science
Having the last 3 mules since the reboot awaiting handles I thought I would run a little science experiment
Secret ingredient added…..
Chose to use the handle so it doesn’t upset the blade.

Z-Max took a bit of colour
SPY27 looks like it cleaned it more than marked it (Z-Max on top)
To be continued….. New secret ingredient added….

Re: In the name of mule science
Yes, cleaned before secret ingredient added.
Also a full 24 hr test not one of those rushed YouTube ones.

Re: In the name of mule science
Tomato sauces are pretty acidic
It will clean pots and pans or take the season off a cast iron pan.
Not scientific and definitely gross but a more real world situation, but I wonder how a blade would react to being wrapped in a sweat soaked shirt for a day. Maybe rub a few blades with the sweat filled shirt and then wrap it up in a ziplock bag and compare?

Unless that's Grey Poupon, I don't think it really counts as mustard.

Re: In the name of mule science
Great idea! I dunked a PD#1 mule in a pickle jar of secret liquid for a couple days, but it didn't darken it up as much as I was wanting...I'll see if I can come up with a comparison pic.

Re: In the name of mule science
I thought for sure Z-Max was going to look way worse. Very interesting can't wait for more results. I wonder how much difference there is from the surface finish because I don't think the holes are finished to the same degree as the flats.

Re: In the name of mule science
I think the sweaty shirt ziplock bag test is probably the most real world rest for my uses. I may have to try that.

Re: In the name of mule science
What about…
Salt water - would be good to see how knives used around the ocean or even bays like the Chesapeake.
Lemon juice - just something to simulate food prep.
Raw meat - to simulate food prep and field work.
I am not sure if you got the z-wear but I would love to see the same tests with it.
Great posts.
