About CPM®-S90V:
CPM-S90V is not a new steel, but it is one not commonly used in the knife industry. It is a high carbon stainless steel formerly known as CPM-420V. With 2.3% carbon it offers wicked edge retention and higher tensile strength. It has more than twice the Vanadium than CPM-S30V, providing greater wear resistance. CPM-S90V may be uncommon in our industry due to it's strength, hardness and toughness; all things that can prove to be difficult in a production atmosphere. Given the extreme wear resistance, it proved to be difficult to grind, the steel didn't want to "give" or "let go" of molecules. Although frustrating in production, this characteristic speaks to what can be expected in edge retention.

Can you list the upcoming steels so we can decide which one to get? Thanks.

I think this will be my first Mule and look forward to designing my own handles. Also, can't beat the price for S90V!

On another note, I see that the order limit is three. Weren't the previous ones limited to two? Is there a reason for this change (maybe they weren't selling fast enough)?

Last question. It says only available at the online store, does this mean I can't do a phone order? I only ask because I want to get an extra Caly3 wire clip with this order and I don't see them in the online store.

Just ordered the Iron Wood Scales for the handle. Hope to have the scales in before the 1st. Then when I get the the new mule team I will be set.

I'm very excited about this release. Thank you for the advanced notice.

Sincerely,

Doug

Will it be possible to buy one with a MO? My cards are all maxed out.

Thanks!

I think I can get this one. If I do I'll have to order some wood blanks and try to make handles.

Thanks for the heads up Kristi and thanks to everyone at Spyderco!

[DMgangl]

Any word if there will be a BG42 Mule?
(No rush though) That makes 6 knifes in the mail...... Ouch!

:)

[yablanowitz]

The last post I saw Sal mention BG-42 in, he said there was an 18 month wait for that steel, so even if he plans one it may be a while. Like maybe a couple of years.

I'm getting one of those
thx, Taz

[whkento]

:D SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! :D

Thanks for the heads-up, Kristi!

[Sequimite]

Gimme two.

I wonder if the limit is three this time because they had fewer problems / factory seconds.

[MountainManJim]

Hey all!

I got the call (I'm sure others have as well) ... Mule #3 is available to those on the list :)
