MT33P - CPM REX 76 Mule Team Release!

[burlyspyder]

Been looking forward to this one, it's kind of on the edge across multiple parameters, very interesting to see how it performs against Z-max and Maxamet. Very high hardness, but less wear resistance, so maybe more sharpening-friendly when it does wear. Looks like maybe a tad tougher - but not sure the difference there will be noticeable.

Also, time to fire up the shop for making some new handles!

Exciting stuff!

Same here! We didn't get a Rex45 MuleTeam so, this should be quite satisfying aaand it is getting closer to Rextober! Fall color motif is in order!

[Snacktime]

Shame we can't get some burnt orange scales for this mule.

[Buddafucco]

What are we thinking... Rex76 is to Rex45 like Rex45 is to Hap40? Mostly the same with a little extra hardness.

[legOFwhat?]

Just a comparison.

Well I feel like an idiot as I kept refreshing my screen wondering why it would not let me buy a Mule . . . Ok so it is Tuesday the 20th and this is only the 13th . . . might be a little early

Never too early to start for a Mule.

Welcome to our forum.

Thank you for the Welcome Sal. Thank you, as well, for making the Mule Team possible and setting the standard for proper use of steel in the knife world. I'll hang up and listen.

[Baconswagfl]

Very excited for this release. Hopefully scoring my first Mule on 9/20!!!

YOU provide the chemistry!

I am already hitting my MTREX76 bookmark on chrome at least twice a day when I know there's still 5 days to wait !
I'm jumping everywhere, more for the chance to make a new handle than anything, even the steel

Thank you for the reminder, RamZar!

I was a bit surprised, when seeing the 'Taiwan' portion on the Spec sheet tonight, for some odd reason. I suppose mostly because that steel had to be shipped over there. I must just have 'Golden' on the brain!
A stack of HAP 72 would have been closer for them, geographically. (hint hint)

Taiwan does do great work.

Do you remember RamZar, what we should expect for the total number on this batch? I know Sal said the Mule count was going to get bumped-up, but some of these Mules were in the pipeline before that decision was made. I just don't remember now which ones those were, or could have been. I know the MagnaCut is marked down as being a 2000 piece run.

[RamZar]

The last Mule Team SRS13/SUS405 MT32 (Japan) in FEB 2022 was a Run of 700.

[Ramonade]

Yeah but they limited to one by house because the number was decided before the big attraction of Magnacut.

Maybe this time its a bit more since we can buy 2 for this Mule?

Im all set, just leaving work exactly at the time of the release so I hope it wont go in 5mins!!

[thesurefire]

I'm looking forward to this later today. I was fortunate enough to get a SRS13 earlier this year that I've really enjoyed.
