Re: Mule Team XL?
I’m curious to try a candied orange peel and orange infused chocolate chip

Re: Mule Team XL?
YES!
Yes! That’s so well stated it made me a little emotional to read it. Granted, in America we have a serious weight problem, but you can still eat cookies. The trick is to buy a BIG cookie, one of the plate-sized ones. Then you cut it in half before eating it. My wife says I’m getting the same amount of calories when I eat both halves in succession, but she’s wrong, because she’s not factoring in that each half is much smaller than the whole cookie. I can still fit through most doorways, so this trick is working for me.
Anyway, the point is that you need a big XL knife to cut an American-sized cookie.

Many people don’t realise that in the UK cookies have to be under 3” and non-locking.

A reply both hilarious and disturbingly true! An ex girlfriend’s dad who was a police sergeant gave me some sound advice about carrying knives in the UK, which paraphrased went a little something like “coppers generally aren’t D*cks, so as long as you’re not being a d*ck with it we won’t be a d*ck about you having it”. Wise words.

Re: Mule Team XL?
Ah, those halcyon days! MASK, Thundercats, Brave Star, Transformers, TMNT, the list is long.

Re: Mule Team XL?
A spyderco set of cookie cutters is a must thing now. Have a small circle to cut out the Spydie hole. Have the Millie, PM2, Police, Endura etcetera

Re: Mule Team XL?
it happens.
So what steel do you guys think would best suit a 6inch turbo mule/cookie cutter? I’m inclined (at risk of sounding boring) to lean towards either Magnacut (I live in the tropics where even rust gets rust on it) or something as tough as old boots like AEB-L?
Thoughts?

Re: Mule Team XL?
I’m sorry, but double stuf Oreos are the true abomination. If any “cookie” was abominable, it’d be those. Have some cookie with your cream.
I don’t think I could resist using an XL Mule Team to scrape the extra cream off of every single double stuf Oreo I come across. That’s reason enough for it exist. The longer edge would maximize the amount of Oreos I could exorcise at once without having to wipe off the blade.

I realize it's gauche to talk about knife steels in the middle of a cookie thread, but yeah, I think the tough steels would be ideal in a larger mule: Magna, AEB-L, 3V, 4V, CD1, 14C28N...those would get my votes.
