Spyderco Mule Team Details
I just realised this, there'll probably be... say, x number of sales on average, and then a huge spike if/when a Damascus mule comes out. Sal, please say that those who have ordered other mules get first preference! Please!?!

Great idea. As much as I want exotic steels a few of the standard steels for comparison will be required. I am already thinking about how to comparison test the blades. First off will to keep some brushy bushes around and allow equal tree trimming tasks. The Temperances are excellent pruning tools. Considering the possible stress of testing I'll want two of the really cool ones like Damascus.
Not really all that slick 
I'm interested in the series, please count me in! Email sent.

Sad thing is that is exactly what will happen.Th232 wrote:I just realised this, there'll probably be... say, x number of sales on average, and then a huge spike if/when a Damascus mule comes out. Sal, please say that those who have ordered other mules get first preference! Please!?!
I'm just hoping that people go into this with the right mindset. Sal is doing us a favor by allowing us to test these high end steels. If I see these things on Ebay with the "RARE DAMASCUS BLADE, ONLY A FEW WERE PRODUCED" I'm going to be really irritated. Not that my irritation will amount to anything, but still.
These blades are meant to be used and abused, more so than normal knives. To let them sit on a shelf would be to undermine the entire principle of the program.
I'd even go so far as to say don't do a Damascus blade, but I would like to try one, if only to see if they perform up to par with the other steels, then I can join the Deacon on the Damasteel bandwagon.

Do we have a ballpark price yet? 50usd, 100usd? I'd love to put in for a few of em, but would love to have an idea what it'll run me.

Why do people worry more if you argue with your voices than if you just talk with them? What about if you lose those arguements?
Slowly going crazy at work... they found a way to make the voices work too.

How the heck did I miss out on this for so long???
3-4 a year sounds doable even on my budget, and the chance to use new and different steels... Like I'm gonna pass that up!

That's one of the steels That I'd like to see. It's a relative of ZDP and it's used in rockstead knives. The trouble is getting these imported to the US and doing it without having to buy a whole melt. I haven't heard one way or another about having any built in Japan. So far, this is a Golden project. Wether it stays that way is beyond me. There are lots of nice Japanese steels to try though :) Joecommon super steels, YXR7!!!!
