They will announce a drop date at some point but I'm really hoping before Christmas.

BTW welcome to the forum!

Would really love to get this one but not sure I stand a chance. I’ve seen what happens during online high demand events. I don’t know just don’t want to get my hopes up. I have to budget for everything I get so maybe I’ll just get something else then I don’t have to stress about it. FOMO it’s a real thing.

This should be fun to play with.
I'll get one to replace the Z-Wear Mule in the kitchen.

The mule blade width dimensions are 3mm, that’s probably the thickest this material has ever been produced for commercial blades. I wonder if that adds, adds to or negates its flexibility?

This material is awesome so far with kitchen use.

I am really excited for this one, probably moreso than I was for the Magnacut drop.

The mule format should let me abuse it more and really push it compared to my thin kitchen version. However that means I will need two in case the first one fails... :winking-tongue

Anyone have plans to sharpen these? Brave enough to reprofile and thin out?

🥹😍🤪🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩Thank you Sal and everyone for making this happen! I am so proud of this community. I was tickled pink to see this. This is a game changer. I will need a few of these because I intend to make the lightest impervious EDC fixed blade with it and an ergonomic backpacking knife. I am curious to see someone make a folder out of it.

credit to where credit is due, if not for Fireman, probably this Mule wouldn't have happened. Cheers!

Diamond cutting wheel or a course diamond stone is what I would use. Luckily I have both. Good thing is no heat treat to worry about

And it looks so cool--it's dark grey!
And it's made in Switzerland!!
And it costs $150!!
No Spyder!
Ovalized Holes!
AAAAaaaagh! I can't even!!

The sharpened bevel looks really thin...is it thin BTE or is the edge angle particularly obtuse?

In keeping with the Mule tradition it should be the same edge angle as the rest of the mules
