By the way Sal in your lab testing did the "mastiff-ware" have more or less wear resistance than I have abrasiveness? How about hardness? As hard as my head? Not quite? I'm just wanting to get an idea where it fits into the whole "steel-iverse". :)
*note: I'm not ashamed to make up my own words when necessary. :o You've got to do what you've got to do sometimes.
Lastly, are the knifemakers there that had to grind the mules out for my blood? I'm trying to figure out if I can skip my insurance bill for a month and buy more knives.
Thanks,
With respect.

I currently own 19 Spyderco knives and have 2 of these new Mules on the way. These are my first Mules and I really would like a couple of Cuscadi scales but no one seems to be responding there. Not really a fan of the Halpern scales. Anyone hear anything from Cuscadi lately?
Very VERY excited about my expected Mule delivery on Thursday.

I emailed cuscadi last month when I bought my first mule. I didn't get a response either. So in my haste I bought some ironwood and made my own scales. I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. My advice, don't be shy about trying it yourself. I didn't have any experience or tools really and it came out great. Good enough to make me get 2 of the new mules. 1 for me and 1 for my old man. Whatever you decide, it's a mule so you will love it. Cheers.

3/8 seems a bit thick to me, but YMMV. 5" length would be cutting it a bit fine if you want to cover the tang, but should work and will definitely be enough if you're leaving the guard area exposed. 1 3/8" is a bit narrow, IMHO, you be better off with something at least 1/2" wider, especially if you're covering the guard, or if there's a grain or other pattern that you want aligned with the long axis of the knife.

That finish looks good on these mules. It looks well made and like a great user. I can't wait to get my hands on one!.

Mr. Moe, to a lot, or most people they look the same. They look different to me. I really get to know them when I first sharpen them, change bevels, cut, finish and do all the other things I do to personalize them.
Every steel has a different personality of sorts.

Hi Joe,
It tested ok. Don't want to say too much until you guys are using them. That's what it's all out, right?
Grinding did surprize us and we did have to adjust plans. Once hardened, grinding is quite difficult.
Dan should have contacted you?
I'm thinking about making a model with the stuff. Pete Gerber did that now and then. Smart man Pete Gerber.
Mr_Moe,
Many things look the same until you become familiar with them. Then you learn differences. Trees as an example, snakes, etc. Steels hides it all. The only way to really "be one" with the essence of a steel is to use it. We make all of the Mule Teams the same so comparisons are not jaded by shape or geometry.

Nice news - thank you, Sal. Based on the S110V knives I've used, that would be something special, especially with the care you guys give to heat treat and blade grind. :spyder:sal wrote:Hi Jim,
Our first two attempts at S110V didn't work out so well. Now we're waiting on Crucible to make enough for a production run.
