On an unfortunate note, I had to return the knife. The knife would click as if it opened properly but you could push the blade closed with minimal pressure. Just one of those things that slipped through QC. Oh well.
Which spyderco is in the mail?

We need a thread where me and Julia post in hand photos of the same models
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Getting anxious as I have a Chief in XHP and a Watu coming. Also my Z-wear mule should be here tomorrow.
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I think you’ll be very happy with the Chief. The handle is extremely comfortable (for my hands anyway) and I’ve been very happy with the XHP. The performance I’m seeing as far as toughness and edge retention is better than I expected and it’s one of my favorite steels to sharpen.

Practically speaking I have no need at all for a DFly since I have my Chap FRN and am not really into small folders anyway.
But as one who loves Spydercos I can see how very cool this model generally is... I am "afraid" one day I'll have to have one...
I also thought I don't need one, I have a Chaparral... But when I wanted something small with serrations, I bought a Salt DF2SE.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Totally agree I have two other chiefs already (nice maybe a pow wow) and a chaparral in the XHP and like it a lot. So many good steels and so few hands and little time.Nuh Nups wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 10:50 amI think you’ll be very happy with the Chief.

Got a notification for a UKPK Salt in stock so one is on its way.

Nice Larry! It's such a cool and unique knife. You'll find it not totally practical for edc, but it works for quite a few things as well. Be careful of that tip brotherlegOFwhat? wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 6:10 amReally been wanting to try a reverse S so ....Matriarch 2 Black Blade is on it's way.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I did not. It's become a dedicated landscaping knife, though I do take care of it and still carry it from time to time. I figured for what it's used for, it's ok as is.legOFwhat? wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 7:09 amThank you sir!

How's the pma11 mule doing for you? I just received the Z-Wear mule yesterday and I hope to put some miles on it soon, but getting to carry a fb is getting harder and harder.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
The mule has held up very well! I've used it for about 3 total weeks at work, as well as on a 4 day camping trip earlier this summer. What a great steel! I've got it sharpened down to around 13dps I'm guessing, free hand right off my DMT coarse stone. No issues with chipping or anything, even after using it to baton some kindling and just messing around with feather sticks and what not sitting around the fire.legOFwhat? wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 8:18 amYeah my plans for it are in the yard as well, the black should go really well with the orange of the Spyderhawk

That knife really opened my eyes to the fixed blade world and I've now got a couple Bradford Guardian's. One of which has actually turned into my favorite user that I own, so I definitely thank you for this Mule in more ways than one!
