Show your Mule
Ted and Jabba, I don't anticipate doing anything like this in the foreseeable future, but I just want to let you know that I really appreciate it when you give all the details like this, of how you do your work. I'm sure it's a great help to a lot of beginners, because the basics are frequently left unmentioned when people show their work, and there are so many ways to attempt this sort of thing, a little elementary information is always appreciated..

My first mule, k390. The handle is some spalted maple my father-in-law gave me. I stabilized the handle using the tutorial from northcoastknives. The pins are brass and the lanyard tube is a 3/8 bronze sleeve bearing. :)

These things are such a pain to acquire. I can't find them anywhere.

Thanks! There are a few things I wish I had done a little differently, but overall I'm happy with it.Officer Gigglez wrote:One of the coolest knives I have ever seen. Great work!
Nice job. It looks like it has a lightning bolt running down the center.dski wrote:

Really beautiful work there Stew! Just breathtaking! They look almost like some sort of petrified wood.Stew wrote:I'm calling this finished....

I think it's very intriguing -- can you, or would you care to, tell us anything about the treatment or finish of the blade or handle?Stew wrote:Cheers. :) I wasn't sure about it but it's what the client wanted - I like it now it's in place! :D

The custom mule handles are great but Halpern is fully stocked for those who don't have the time or inclination to make their own. We have been working for weeks to get our web site totally friendly to all Mule team followers. The last step as been to get a secure set for a complete transaction on our site with all major credit cards.
Everything listed( includes carbon, Micarta, rosewood and G10 of. Course). They all come oiled and ready to attach.
There are 25 possible purchases!
We've added 4 Swick handles today.
The site should be LIVE Monday afternoon.
I'm expecting a huge response, so please hang on for a week if you haven't gotten a tracking number from me. You'll get a message that we it your order. When you get the USPS tracing, they are on the way.
I've worked through glitches I've spotte- please let me know if something is not working.
It's been fun getting this launched. It's our first shopping cart. It seemed like we had to go that route or you.
Time for the Super Bowl. Spyderco fans going for Denver??

Yes, you can epoxy G10 to the mule blade. If you have trouble buying G10, we can help out getting you a square foot of G10.
No matter what you decide, we can send pivots and screws that we use for Option 4 (scales are about.250" thick" or Option 5 (scales are .140" thick). Let me know and I'll do what we can to help you make your own scales.
