Poll What’s your Mule future
Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
I selected "Just the steels I want" and with the next 5 or 6 steel selections already set, I'm very interested in seeing what they all are, I suspect I'll want a few. Of the mules announced, I definitely want the Z-Max the most, as kind of a Maxamet light. I also picked up the SPY27 version to have a stainless blade to play with, I don't feel a huge draw to S45VN, but may pick one up just because it's a nice steel in a very useful format for $50. With the MT28 in hand, paired with the scales and kydex sheath from Spyderco's site, I have to say it seems like near-ideal hunting blade for my preferences.

Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
Looks like it’s a larger “Just the steels I want” crew. With 50% vote so far.
Be interesting to see what the other 3 steels of the 6 that Sal said were already planned.
Hopefully there will be a few steels that aren’t as sought after that will give the people that miss out on the hot steels that sell out quick a chance in on the Mule team community.

Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
I'd like one of each, but given the aftermarket pricing and that I only had a couple earlier ones (both the 9Cr18MoV model before the recent MicroMelt one I got last year), I'd be pretty happy to just try cool steels though as long as I have a decent job, I'd be up for getting each one at time of release. So I put just the steels i want to try, but as I love having lots of different steels, I'd like to try them all. I have other models in a handful of the mule steels but it would be cool to have one of each.

A chef will prefer all of them. Different style of knives would be a great help in making designs when cutting the ingredients thus, increasing the creativity of the food. Besides, it would be also a great display in the kitchen.

Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
I went with (as many as I can get.) A better option for me personally, would be, (which ever mules I can get from SFO, until the money runs out.)
Spyderco: Tenacious G10, Waterway, Para 3 Spy27, Pacific Salt H1, Catcherman, In the Mule Team Stable(Z-Max, Z-Wear, S45VN, Magnacut, SRS13/SUS405, M398, Aeb-l, 15v)
Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
Definitely on board for a #29 when available!
Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
Whichever ones I can get. Spyderco doesn't seem to do that many in a year, and they are affordable. The Mules are an incredible bang for your buck. Most American-made (sometimes sharpened and ground, othertimes not) cutlery blanks are around $20 for basic ones, all the way up to close to $100 for others. A Mule, in the latest of steels, and a pretty practical pattern is usually around $50, sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the steel. It's a full-size knife, and factory-made sheaths and hardware are included; so if you're like me, and unsure if you can DIY the sheath and handles, it's there.
Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
Just the steels I want. Looking forward to a couple of the upcoming releases.

If I was living in USA, I would buy way more Mules but living abroad makes them quite expensive. In France we have to pay customs taxes and VAT over the total price (goods + shipping fees) + customs declaration fees.

Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
Seems like the last three steels are steels everyone wants with sell out times.

Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
I was thinking it might actually do the program good to have one that sits around for a while. It would help with some of the instant sell-out to flippers.

Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
I'd ultimately like to grab one of each run since I have yet to get one & have been a Spyderco fan for years. Unfortunately it will realistically boil down to funds available at the time of release and if im even able to get the website to load ... lol. I absolutely refuse to buy off scalpers. It's immoral in my opinion. :spyder:

Feather stick competition, Light bushcrafting camp (notching, carving, whittling), Kitchen patrol (slicing, chopping)-not in that order-then sharpening.
Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
Sal, Sir, would it be possible to drop the names of the steels that are so far in-the-works that it's safe to say they're gonne come? I mean, S45VN SPY27 and Z-Max mules were all announced at the same time, iirc. Now they're all there (and gone). Which ones are next??

Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
As of now I know a-wear has been announced and will come out sometime this year. The other steel that was put out there but not confirmed was MagnaCut. Should be in high demand as it is basicly a z-wear steel but stainless. I know I am going to try to get both, very good “bushcraft” type steels.archangel wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 2:00 amSal, Sir, would it be possible to drop the names of the steels that are so far in-the-works that it's safe to say they're gonne come?

Re: Poll What’s your Mule future
Be next year before we see Magnacut. Hopefully we see one or two before that after Z wear..WilliamMunny wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 8:16 amAs of now I know a-wear has been announced and will come out sometime this year.
