Fantastic job on this! Thanks much for taking the time. I'll check for receipts and will reply if I can find and purchase dates later than the ones you posted.CLOK wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 6:21 pmMT25 - Steel: LC200N | Released: Apr 2017 | Quantity: Approximately 800
Released 4/12/2017. Was still available 8/8/2017. Could not find a solid out of stock date.
MT26 - Steel: Micro-Melt A11 (PMA11) | Released: Aug 2017 | Quantity: Approximately 700
Released 8/7/17. Very little conversions about it. Spyderco put more on the website around 3/9/2019. Then a user was able to pick one up at SFO on 9/3/2021. This is probably the slowest seller and longest gap of sales if you don’t include the ZDP-189 seconds sold late 2022.
MT27 - Steel: Micro-Melt PD#1 | Released: Oct 2017 | Quantity: Approximately 800
Released 10/19/2017. More conversation than MT26 but still was slow. Spyderco put them on their website over a 2 year span randomly. Seems I am the last known purchaser at this time as I purchased one at SFO on 11/16/2020.
I am going to take a little break now but that gets us to the point before the hiatus of the mule program!
It's puzzling to me that A11 and PD#1 were available concurrently with people on Bladeforums and other sites constantly asking "how can I get a Spyderco Mule?" I pushed more than a few people toward those knives. I suspect that people were also looking for the more popular steels, which seems odd to me. fwiw, the the A11 and PD#1 are two of my favorite Mules, but to be honest I like all of them.
It's a gift to have all these steels available in the same blade. We very much appreciate these knives, Spyderco.
