Appreciate your insights on this aspect of production and company management, Sal.

Hi Vandyman,

Funny you would say that. I told the staff, that when the pieces comes in, we should make a Mule Team as the test piece.

Just reading this made me smile. Been a rough month that started with a car on the freeway rear ending my car and totaling it. So grateful for something to smile about. Thank you.

Bumping this back up

[Superfool]

Any news yet Sal?

Any kind of idea of a timeframe?

[sal]

Hi Superfool,

I've been pushing the factory. We keep upping production capacity every month. I'm pushing for early '26.

Your persistence is admirable.

sal

[Superfool]

This is awesome news.

My persistence is as admirable as your patience and diplomacy, Sal.

Thank you.

[Superfool]

Any more news here Sal?

This thread (I presume) has spawned an idea that has lead to 2 knives being made in a similar vein; the Urban and the Chapparal.

Did they go to plan, and sell as well as they should have?

[sal]

Hi Superfool,

Thanx for the "push". I'll begin pushing again. There are always many things going on at Spyderco which re not obvious. But I think your request is valid and I'd personally like one myself.

Hi @sal

Is there still the possibility of a mule? You had mentioned that possibility earlier in this thread.

Thank you for all you do.

[sal]

Hi Vandyman,

There is always a possibility. We've got a few Mules already in motion, more for steel that "look". The road from concept to Mule is longer than you might think.

Well, the compliment doesn't get better than that.

I'll begin pushing again.

Awesome. Thank you Sal.
I will harass you again in 4 months!

David.

Hi Sal, Superfool and other faithful followers of this thread, would choosing another Damascus steel help move this project along? Not that I’m not a huge fan of Damasteel and the very special Spyderco knives that have been offered in their variants, I’ve been hearing good things about DamaX, which is supposedly a cheaper, higher volume product. Maybe worth looking into for this project? Cheers, Radioactive

Thanx RS,for the link.

We''d have to test it before we'd use it in a product.

Hey David, As I remember, We're talking a Damasteel stainless blade, and I'm pushing for an ivory G-10 scales. Are we on the same page?

sal

[Superfool]

Hi Sal.

Bjorkman's twist Damasteel.
Leaf shape blade.
Full length back spacer.
Ivory G10..

These were the results of the seemingly never-ending polls that we did five years ago.

Hi David,

Just herd back from management. The piece is already in the queue. Different Damasteel though, a new one not used before.

sal

[Red Leader]

Wow, very cool!

Sounds great to me. Thanks Sal.
Which Damasteel and when is it likely to be here?

[sal]

Can't say and can't say.
