We would like to get a count on how many of our Steel Junkies would like to participate in the Mule Team. For those of you, who are not aware of this project, please see this thread… http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showt ... p?t=445613
Quantity: We will produce 3-4 variations per year, each of course being different steel.
Pricing: Pricing will be a Net Price only; there will be no additional discounts for Dealers/Distributors. This program is to introduce different steels to our ELUs at an affordable price.
Each variation will be priced accordingly with the only variable effecting price being the steel. The price will be announced prior to the release of the upcoming model.
Commitment: We would like to know the depth of your interest. Would you like to sign up for the whole series or sign up for each model as they are announced? Keep in mind that signing up for models individually would create the possibility that a steel could be dropped if there was not enough participation.
Purchasing: All purchases will be handled through Spyderco Factory Outlet (SFO). This will insure that we are able to offer the lowest price possible for each model.
Shipping Fees:
Domesticorders will ship free of charge(as per our standard shipping from SFO)
Internationalorders will be charged $25.00 for shipping.
Collectors: Collectors will have an opportunity to enroll under the same provisions (e.g. Net Price, Purchased from SFO, Appropriate Shipping fees, etc.).
Sign-up: We will announce the method for signing up soon. Our goal is to allow you to sign up and provide your payment information through our site in a secure format.
Now: What we need now is to find out how many of you are actually interested in signing up. If you are interested, please email the following to MuleTeam@spyderco.com.

Commitment (Series sign-up or Individual)
Do not include any payment information; we will let you know when to submit that and how.
There is nothing more important than this one day.
I'm interested, probably for individual sign-up instead of the series. Can you give some guidance on likely pricing? Are we talking $25-$50 each? Less? More?
I'm just as interested now as I was when I read the BF thread. I'd love to commit to the series, but I can't say that I'll always have the money, so individual it is.

Ditto for me. If it were somehow possible to put together some sort of very inexpensive folder design (doesn't even need to lock), I'd be much more enthusiastic about the project. I just personally wouldn't be able to put a bunch of fixed blades to good use. However, depending upon the average pricing, I'd probably be in for some individual models. Any chance these could be pre-drilled for cord wrapping or easier mounting of scales?
I don't want to put myself down for something I won't be able to afford, but if it should be about $80 (or less!) per knife I would be interested... I'd probably want to sign up per model as I am a student and may not be able to buy them *all,* but I'd try to. Can we see a concept of what the mules might look like?
This is a Golden (HA!) opportunity to try out new steels. Since I finally have steady employment again, you may count me in. :cool:

I would be be very interested if they were available as folder (or folder blades for us to complete) - but my use of / interest in fixed blades is quite limited.
