Sal, since you are checking in on this thread, you see how loyal we all are to the program, right? So can we have the next one the week after this one sells out?
Thanks for the compliments Sal, from all of us I guess :rolleyes:

Now we are talking, that sounds like a great idea. More ´uncommon´ and new japanese steels in Spydies....
Everytime when I think ´this is it´ Spyderco suprises me with new ideas or models that draw my direct attention...
Sign me up for one, 3 or 3.5!

Hi Cckw,
If we release more than 4 per year, we get complaints that it's too many, too fast.

I won't complain if you release more, but I think 4 a year is just about right. It gives us time to buy it, get handles attached, put the steel through it's paces, and save up cash to buy the next. I'm cool with a new one every 3 months.

BTW, the maker o the Super Blue Mule Team was new to Mule Teams....a virgin and Super Blue is difficult to work with. Not too many makers using the steel in production, especially on folders. But he's the maker that would make the Caly3 in Super blue and I wanted to break him into the steel.

Mine arrived today. Very excited. It also has the faint lines from grinding but I find it attractive. Sort of sets it apart from the other Mules. Can't wait to put the handles on it.
Before it got to me, Canada Customs opened it up and ripped the box a bit.
Well some small scratches in the blade don't really make a difference at all and truthfully it will give me an excuse to polish the heck out of the blade! Good news Sal!

It was literally just 5 or 10 minutes slicing up two apples. That's all it took. This steel has virtually no corrosion resistance (just 0.5% chromium for hardenability) and a lot of carbon (1.5%). I could see and smell the patina forming as soon as I began to cut the apple.
