Mule Suggestion: Apex Ultra

#1

Post by TomAiello »

Any chance that Spyderco could do a mule in Apex Ultra?

It looks pretty good to me. Basically a high hardness _and_ high toughness steel that left out stainless as a criteria to achieve good results in both hardness and toughness.

Seems a perfect fit for the Mule program, doesn’t it?

I think it definitely is intriguing, but it was designed for forging and may not be as interesting as a commercial production knife. But then again....

We know what #34 is - CPM Rex T15 (coming soon)
#35 was Magnacut
#36 ?
#37 ?
#38 was the recent M398

So there is two that were in the pipeline for a while unknown yet.

One could be elastic ceramic or that could even be #39


I say the next reveal may tell us what #36 and #37 are.
