Those that only had their one time appearance as a MT, never were used in a sprint / exclusive / regular production Spyderco knife. Correct me if I'm wrong, but those were MT09 Cobalt Special / MT15 B75P / MT20 B70P / MT26 PM11 and MT27 PD#1.

Yes, I know, MT29 Z-Max too. But I got one of those... ;)

Which steel was MT14 again? The one that never dropped?

K390
4V
Maxamet
Z-Max
Z-Wear
PD#1

Lower points of entry versus buying a production folder in the same steel, not as available as other steels on the list, and those are steels I really want to put through their paces in a platform conducive to such treatment.

Not really interested in Magnacut since it's pretty obvious at this point there will be a bunch of knives coming out in the near future with that steel.

As a M4 fanboy

But I am happy with looking forward to all the new steels instead of re-issuing

It was supposed to be CTS 204P, but it started appearing in production knives before the Mule was released, so Sal moved on.

The SpydieWiki link below gives additional information on the problem Mule Teams MT12 (CruWear) and MT14 (CTS 204P).

M4, but mainly some in Spyderedge. Lots of knowledge to be gained if the same amount of testing were done on SE as on PE.

I was late to the Mule Team party. But I have many times wished I could get a 52100 mule.
I just like 52100 (and have it in a couple of folders). Just think it would make an excellent
small fixed blade. I have even prowled around a bit looking for such as customs and such.
The right thing has never quite turned up.

Being MT01, 52100 may have a special charm for collectors. and demand a premium price on
the secondary market. I have checked once or twice, never gotten lucky. It is not the sort of thing
where I am going to haunt Ebay looking for it.

Not that I really expect Spyderco to do repeat Mule runs. It would be nice for people like myself
who missed the first 20+ mules, just because they didn't know about it. Maybe when Sal runs out
of ideas for new steels to investigate he will consider a few reruns. Who can say?

I only have 1 mule so any of them really. Like most I'd like a Magnacut. Also Maxamet and Cruwear would be high on my list.

Hello, I would certainly repeat, both the MT01 in 54100 and the CTS-204P. I would then do another series of the CPM S45 VM. Also the ZAPP Z-Max PM and the Z-Wear PM which had a short series. It is obviously a personal interest. :bug-red

None!!!

I was pushing for reruns when I first started purchasing mules, but after being around them for a while I like the one and done approach.

It is likely I have most the old mule steels on a production folder or production fixed blade now, so no need for a rebirthed mule.

Keep the focus, and the resources, on the future and not the past.
So many knives - so little funds!!!

K390 is probably my favorite (and most carried) mule.
