About the Damascus/VG-10:
Spyderco’s Damascus Mule Team is a laminated fifteen-layer steel with a Suminagashi pattern. The Damascus Mule’s steel is composed of layers of erosive and non-erosive material over a VG-10 core center. The erosive layers are hard martensite stainless steel and the non-erosive layers are anti-corrosion nonferrous metal. These layers block carbon particles in the core from spreading to the outer layers. After layering the blade is forged to intentionally distort the layer-lines making a complicated, artistically beautiful pattern called Suminagashi. Suminagashi is the traditional Japanese art form of creating ripples of Chinese ink on the surface of water. This steel mimics the art form with interesting results on a knife blade. Once the layers are distorted, the blade is bathed in acid etching the pattern to vivid relief.
What is the Mule Team:
For those of you unfamiliar with our Mule Team Project, it is unique to Spyderco. In-house we call knife samples designed and built for testing and evaluation Mules. We know a healthy percentage of knife users are interested in different blade steels and their performance abilities. Running with that, we released an ongoing Mule Team Project. Several times per year we unveil the same single-piece fixed blade patterned knife in a different and exotic blade steel. This lets steel-obsessed knife knuts test, try and use something normally not offered to the industry. Product runs are limited to 600 – 1000 pieces of each steel type depending on foundry requirements.
Mule Blades are leaf-shaped with a sharpened and finished PlainEdge blade but with an unfinished handle providing a do-it-yourself opportunity. The unfinished handle has a series of holes for attaching custom handle scales or for wrapping with para-cord. Each piece is sold without handle scales or a carry sheath focusing the project on the blade steel. This opens endless creative possibilities for the owner to design their own handle scale and carry options.

There is nothing more important than this one day.
Wow - love the look of that but I wish it was a SLIPIT ... I can't justify a fixed-blade right now.
My spydies: Squeak, Tenacious, Terzuola, D'Allara, UKPK CF peel-ply pre-production, UKPK CF smooth pre-production, UKPK G10 orange leaf-blade, UKPK FRN grey drop-point, UKPK FRN maroon leaf-blade, Bug ... all PE blades :)
I'll be on an all day bicycle trip that day, but with the limit hope to pick up two that evening.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

WOW! That blade is screaming for Damascus-like scales. Does anyone have any suggestions for materials?
Thanks,

:confused: Legal to own anywhere in the state. Should be legal to carry as well, even in NYC, as long as it's carried discreetly since the blade is under 4" and there's no way even Mr. Vance's twisted logic could call it a gravity knife.mattman wrote:too bad. Not allowed in NY...Love it!!

SFO won't ship anything but SlipIts and sharpeners to NY (the WHOLE state) while this debacle is proceeding...The Deacon wrote: :confused: Legal to own anywhere in the state.

Gonna have to jump through some hoops to get one of these...(will be my first Mule, so a lil adventure story to go with it right from the start might not be a bad thing...)
Edited to add: Thanks guys...should have worded that first post a little better!!

However, this does seem contrary to what the site says.
