MT46P/MT46S - Mule Team™ MagnaMax™ Release Info!

[sovereign]

Where is the MagnaMax for the Mules sourced from?

Judging by the price I would say Carpenter. But I could be wrong though.

From the discussion with Larrin and Bob Shabala:

"Yeah. So that’s a grade that, thanks to you, we had a prototype heat or an initial two heats made at Crucible, and the feedback’s been great. So, we patented it with you. We also trademarked it. So that gives us the ability to buy from both mills. And they both are getting ready to make it. So by, I think, the fourth quarter this year, we should have heats from both mills ready to go."

"Both mills" is referring to Erasteel and Carpenter, which are stated to be ready fourth quarter this year, so perhaps the Mules are from the "initial two heats made at Crucible"?

I hope this issue with their card payment processor is resolved before the drop.

So this may hurt the sale imo. But everyone with PayPal is good to go I guess. Any idea if this will be fixed??

[msum]

I have mixed feelings about this payment issue. Might be in my favour - including potentially spreading out the traffic that hits the site and reducing risks of crashes. But hard for those who don’t have PP or Sezzle. Good publicity for those two companies. Had never heard of Sezzle before.

When using Spyderco PayPal checkout can I use a credit card as paypal guest?

Yes, that's correct. You do not have to have a PayPal account.

@mikey177, @Mrj, @Infinite Zero please see viewtopic.php?t=98613.

You do NOT need to have a PayPal account to pay with your credit card. We're just using them as a payment processor.

Noted, Kristi. Thank you for the clarification.

All the best for the Mule Team drop later.

Forgive me if this was mentioned already but any word on production numbers for each edge type?

I would love to know too. I think around 500 or so is normal?

[Jeb]

I was so glad to read we don't have to have a PayPal account to use them. Just hope the extra steps in the purchase of these online doesn't throw the heavy online traffic these two blades in a tailspin and those of us that don't have an account can't get them..

[Infinite Zero]

Hopefully the upgraded site can handle the extra traffic. Despite being on the forum for a decade, this is my first mule. The closest I've ever had before now was one of the old Swicks without scales.

Order in at 11:01

[Gtscotty]

Maybe I just haven't gotten a mule lately, but that was surprisingly pain and glitch free compared to the releases a few years ago!

[WilliamMunny]

Ordered a PE and leather sheath no issues. Was super tempted to also get a SE, I am sure I will regret not getting it later, but I rather put thank money towards the first MangaMax production knife.

Great job Spyderco team on this drop.

Order confirmed, 8:02 a.m. PDT: One plain edge, one serrated.

Really, this is boring AF, like shooting fish in a barrel. I love the hunt. I miss the old days when we needed multiple devices running multiple browsers, and it was still iffy whether we'd be able to complete the order before the server ground to a halt.

[Guts]

Smooth sailing this time. Got a PE and SE.

[Infinite Zero]

Order in at 11:01

Me too. Completely painless. Added the scales and sheath before 11.

I remember it took me an hour to place an order for the MagnaCut mule.

[Ramonade]

Ordered :) Very crazy fast payment !

I too am well versed into the quick refresh multi browser heavy sweat arts. But I feel like these skills are now from a forgotten time, and need to be put to rest until the upcoming Server Wars ...
