Re: scales and sheaths
This is with Halpern slim (number 5) scales. As said it is stiff and new, but even with those thin scales it has solid retention.Revival wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 10:04 pmAppreciate the info. If you are able to post pics, I wouldn’t mind a pic of the back side of the sheath and also the mule in the sheath. If not, no worries.Crox wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 9:42 pmI just got the leather sheath. Haven’t put it to much use yet. Seems okay. Says made in Japan. Is a bit stiff but the sewing, riveting, and edge finish are all quality. I’m not into the belt loop but it is going to ride in a pack anyways.
Is there something specific you would like to know or see?
No way you are pulling it out one handed at this stage. Looking closer I do think the construction is very robust and well done.
Attachments limited so trying web link.... if broken I'll keep trying
Edit: That was a failure. Attaching lower res......
Re: scales and sheaths
Awesome pics. Appreciate it!

Re: scales and sheaths
Halpern option 4 size scales w/ Spyderco leather sheath
current fav’s: K390 SS Stretch, PM2 CruWear Mircata, P.I.T.S., Subway Bowie
Re: scales and sheaths
Awesome pics, thanks. I think this is the best option for me right now but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Shipping is basically half the price of the sheath but I guess I just need to suck it up and order it.
Re: scales and sheaths
Has anyone "Wet formed" the Spyderco leather sheath with Halpern scales, either #4 or #5?
Re: scales and sheaths
Finally was going to pull the trigger on the leather sheath and it’s now out of stock…lol. That’s what I deserve for waiting.

Re: scales and sheaths
I've been enjoying the Boltaron sheath in a scout carry on the back of my belt. Out of the way and still very fast to draw when needed. It can be a bit tricky to put back depending on the clothing I am wearing but overall I am liking it there. And surprisingly, it is pretty comfortable when driving my truck or sitting in my office chair. Much less digging into my side than vertical carry on my hip.
Re: scales and sheaths
Just got my Damascus g-10 in the mail. Now I am on the search for a friend with a drill press.
Was never a space cadet, but with LC200N I might be more in space than a cadet.

Re: scales and sheaths
thanks for the pictures, everyone! while i'm waiting on everything to restock, i decided to throw some paracord on and make a "sheath" out of thin cardboard and gorilla tape. it's good enough to ride in my pack for now.

Re: scales and sheaths
Since I’m a lefty I have been looking around for a leather sheath . I contacted JRE they suggested the E model. Has anyone tried it on a Mule ? DLT has them available .

Re: scales and sheaths
I checked some containers and found this sheath for a CRKT Ken Onion limited edition. Fits very well, I can use it until I figure out something else .

that looks great! i've been thinking about trying to find that kind of sheath for the mule instead of a standard belt sheath.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 24, 2021 12:00 pmI checked some containers and found this sheath for a CRKT Ken Onion limited edition.

Re: scales and sheaths
The knife made for it is actually a very well built knife , very ergonomic, and K110 steel (D2). I plan to use it in year Deer hunting to test . Onion gave prototypes to Alaskan guides to test before it went into production. I will post in other sometime .

Re: scales and sheaths
I 3d printed them from JoshCrutchleys design. I have recently started blending my own colors and just put this "grape Jelly" set on my Magnacut Mule. It looks like I'll be able to make pretty much any color in a wide variety of shades and saturation. I have a bunch of SS hardware on the way right now so I can start offering them to forum members for their blades. Shoot me a PM if you want a set.DansGearAddiction wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 7:53 pm

Re: scales and sheaths
Leather sheath is back in stock but it’s now $40 (instead of $30) + $13 shipping. All the awesome pictures in this thread made them raise the price…lol. Should have just purchased one from the beginning. Oh well.
