Re: The Upcoming Straight Spine Mule
But Sal said "a bit more straight," not straight, so maybe:

This drops the point a little, but starts to look original:

Re: The Upcoming Straight Spine Mule
You know ... I really do like this as a Wharncliffe ... could it be done to fit the existing sheaths!!!
So many knives - so little funds!!!
Re: The Upcoming Straight Spine Mule
Well, sort of! The new straight spine has an interesting look, reminds me of a person who's thin on top but big below the beltline. I'm saying the handle:blade ratio favors the handle.
If you sharpened the spine instead of the edge, you'd have a Mule P'Kal!
It's GREAT that SPY27 goodness is on tap in this size knife, and with a do it yourself approach. Good work Spyderco!

Re: The Upcoming Straight Spine Mule
While we're on the topic, what ARE the advantages of a straight spine over the leaf shape? Is it just piercing ability?

Re: The Upcoming Straight Spine Mule
I find they stay in whatever material you are cutting unsupported a little better than a leaf blade of an equivalent length. Just my experience. That tip just maintains contact better for me. I’ve come to prefer it in longer blades over the leaf blade.
Re: The Upcoming Straight Spine Mule
I'm glad someone pointed out the SS. I thought it was a typo, lol. Gonna try to pick one up to compare how differently the blades cut. Love my Spy27 MT28.

I've just been jumping everywhere since I've read that.
That + starting to finally start to make knives (not just handles), I'm in heaven (and soon in over my head).

Re: The Upcoming Straight Spine Mule
Be careful. Every time I think I've got one part of knife making under control, another one comes up. Then I go back to one I thought I had already learned, and learn a whole bunch of new stuff about it. If you're like me, this journey is likely to occupy the rest of your life.

Re: The Upcoming Straight Spine Mule
Love the profile on this production mule.
I tend to not be too picky and enjoy lots of blade shapes (though I do like to compare the tiniest pros and cons anyway), but I’m fond of this straight spine and pointy tip the same way I like the upswept clip point Moran.
I also had this vision of a handle pop into my head that I’d kill to have made one day or eventually make it myself. The latter would be a little ways and a lot of practice off, though!

The practice would make it even more worth it !

This is going to become a go-to gift buy, I think.
