Thanks! That was given as part of the instructions on the epoxy I used, so I did just that, wiping down both the wood surfaces and the steel with acetone. (After roughing them up with sandpaper.)

Re: Show your Mule
That's how I'd like to carry mine, but the blade clicks in so firmly to the sheath that when I go to pull the knife out, the sheath comes with it, unless of course I just push down on the sheath with my thumb while pulling the knife out. Which I guess really shouldn't be an issue.

Re: Show your Mule
Good question! That's exactly what you should do. You can also use mineral spirits, denatured alcohol, or naphtha as well. In fact, most of the wood species that are best suited for knife handles (without stabilizing) are going to have a high oil content. Here's a link to some tips about getting consistent results when gluing oily wood. Also, the list of "oily" wood species on the link is a good (albeit incomplete) list of potential knife handle wood options. Any of them that are both "high oil content" and "high density" are worthy considerations.

That's a nice looking Mule. I like the thunderstorm kevlar. Thank you for sharing your work. :)

Wow, amazing skills! That Beach Micarta is a beauty. Very tasteful combinations.
Re: Show your Mule
If you check the GL Hansen (G-Carta) website periodically, they have lots of 'sprint run' micarta in interesting patterns.

Thanks for the compliments guys, this one with Forrest green g10 turned out nice too!
Re: Show your Mule
Screech, are those basically lanyard tubes? Did you do them for a functional reason, or just to look cool (which they do, so nice work)?

Re: Show your Mule
It's just a cool way to attach scales to the Mule with its strange hole pattern in the handle. It makes them stand out too me thinks. I also think this handle style goes along well with Spydercos "hole motif".
