My box just arrived.

I have to admit this one looks a bit more "finished" than my previous mules. The outside edges are more rounded and the blade looks somewhat polished -- more like a finished item. Pride of workmanship was my thought. Not that I am complaining or criticizing previous mules, but I did notice the difference. The people at Seki don't let anything out the door that isn't up to certain standards was my thought. Above and beyond what a person might expect for a "mule".
I noticed this as well on mine. Even the edge is highly polished with a nice microbevel it appears under the loupe. It feels different than my others. It lacks that bite into my skin when I try it across my finger. I'm debating on putting that biting edge onto it or not.

Nope. Was buried at work and missed that another Mule was coming this soon. Will have to pay post-release prices to get one. Entirely my own fault.

Got one and it will be a kitchen knife for my wife who likes shorter blades for some reason.

Hi Spock,

Welcome to our forum.

Sorry you missed out. One day we'll figure out the best way for everyone that wants one to be able to get one.

Well maybe I spoke too soon. The finish is nice, but there is a glitch with the fit. Easy to fix and nothing to complain about.

Now I have my SRS13 mule on duty in the kitchen, replacing the LC200N I have used there for several years. It will be interesting to see how that goes since I am very much used to using the LC200N regularly. The SRS13 is a lot sharper, and I'll bet can be made as sharp as I like. I always struggled to sharpen the LC200N and made do with a "good enough" blade.

Is there anyone still waiting for shipping confirmation ?
I kinda influenced one of my friends to join the Mule Team, and it is he's first order on Spyderco's store.
He did receive the order confirmation but is worried about the fact he hasn't received any shipping notice.

I did (on the 18th). But I only bought a Mule and a mug, he did pick the G-10 scales and a leather sheath, maybe one of these items wasn't available and it's making it wait till restock ?

He's kinda anxious, I told him everything is gonna be okay but eh, doesn't seem to have much effect ^^.

Thanks in advance,
Robin.

I scored one and just bolted on scales this morning. Goal is to use in the kitchen to start although I have multiple mid-range gyutos that see most of dinner prep but it will good to see how it performs as a general utility knife. From there I plan to use it outside with general landscaping and box cutting similar to my MagnaCut testing.

Aghhh!

Just got a notice from UPS that there is a sorting delay and it'll be awhile yet before mine arrives. I guess I'll have to live vicariously through you guys for a while longer, lol. :)

On the plus side, the Mule Teams are ALWAYS worth the wait. :D

Got one, now I’m just fighting with the spacers for the handle scales I ordered trying to get this thing properly assembled for use

I got one, I am noticing some pretty wiggly grinds as far as the bevel/edge goes, and then it is pretty rough along the spine where the flat grind begins. Is this normal of the Mules, being kit knives, or is this a fluke/flaw?

I take it that everyone except my friend had a shipping notice already. I'll tell him to contact customer service.

Has anyone else had issues with the pins (Halpern/factory threaded barrels) not fitting the holes in the tang?

I can’t get the pin to go through the middle or back hole and it’s got a bad drag on the front hole. I tried several pins and nothing would fit. Mine also has the rounded/broken edges and the lips around the holes look odd too. At an angle the holes look out of round but when I look straight on at them they look true. I’m afraid if I try to enlarge the holes or clean them out that I’ll screw up and my scales will be shifty. There is no obvious burr but I think something is out of spec.

Thanks! I just came back to say I took a second look and found the burr…burrs. Time to knock them down.

Mine is very well finished with nice grinds.
