My Folding Mule Project
Re: My Folding Mule Project
Righteous. A lovely custom knife. Love it. Looks fantastic. I like the longer-than-normal tab for unlocking.

Re: My Folding Mule Project
They all look amazing, though this one tops it I think!
Would love it if this was an actual product. Imagine there being a folding mule team project, where You would get just the blades and there would be a standard handle available. Not sure what lock would enable doing this (as in it didn't need tuning) but would be awesome

Re: My Folding Mule Project
HOLY COW
How many people (show of hands) prefer the Mule blade profile to most of the other Spyderco blades? I think it's awesome and the only thing that could make it better is to add Ti scales/liners, and the only thing better than that is a compression lock.
Zip.. Whang.. POW !! Outta the park!
Nice work. Instructables, templates, kits.. so many people would love these. Awesome...

Contouring the scales really made it feel good in my hand and gave so much better access to the Spydiehole for flicking. The Ti clip weighs almost nothing and the final weight is just under 80 grams, which is right about where it was when it came out of the box. I carried it today and love how light it is.
I figured I’d throw in a family photo as well :)
