I would choose Damascus.

Would love to see k390 and 52100

I'd love to see a bunch of Mule repeats, particularly of older and less common steels (they seem incredibly hard to pick up on the secondary). From the perspective of the Mule project, there doesn't seem to be a point. For example, I want an LC200N mule for sure. Probably multiples to test and some to give away. What's the point when Spyderco already has multiple models in LC200N, which is thousands more data points already out there? There's no collective additive learning by distributing more Mules of that now (unless it's really different than the last time). Same with Magnacut and a bunch of other things.

I think doing a second run of certain steel makes sense if they're using an improved heat treatment. Out of the steels on your list I would go with Cruwear, K390, and Maxamet. Out of all the past Mules I would like to see PSF27, ZDP-189, and 52100 redone.

Would be grateful for any steel that sold out in the first day. Especially Magnacut.

Temporarily put my mule away cause I got tired of my wife saying do you really need 5 knives on you. MULE - AEB-L (keep returning to this mule cause it’s awesome)

My thinking on this continues to evolve, but at this point I think Damascus is the one I really would like to play with. I've always seen Damascus blades as 'pretty not functional' and I'd be very interested in doing abusive testing on one to see how well it held up.
Re: Which Past Mule Teams Would You Like to See Repeated?
I like. But I think the Damascus they made earlier has a VG 10 core. But yeah I’d love to see that one ran again since I didn’t know about the mule team back then.TomAiello wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 8:07 amMy thinking on this continues to evolve, but at this point I think Damascus is the one I really would like to play with.
