I've really been impressed with MBS-26 thus far in the 6" kitchen utility knives...we have a black handled plain edge and a blue handled serrated edge. From the day I bought them (Roughly a month after they were released) they've been our most used knives in the kitchen, and I haven't had to sharpen them yet either. I'll definitely be trying it out in a Mule to see how I like it in thicker stock (And at least one in 4V and Maxamet too :D ).sal wrote:We have 3 in-the-works at this time. CPM-4V is one of them, but I don't think it's the next one.
I'm also considering MBS-26. We had a meeting with the maker (Masahiro) and he'll let us use his proprietary steel for our knives.

I was out of town when the S110V Mule came out so I had to make sure that I had access to WiFi that morning. I think I pretended that I was answering an email on my phone.Able Dog wrote:I am always excited about the next Mule Team, but it has yet to work out with both money and opportunity lining up. Fingers crossed.
With the forum revamp coming up I think that the next Mule might be delayed. Besides if Sal says that the next one won't be CPM 4V and the 204P was dropped, and the other steel options (Maxamet and MBS-26) seemed to still be in the talking phase last month, then I'm puzzled as to what it might be.
Regardless, I've got scales and it has been four months since the last one and I'm ready!
Just looked up the specs on Maxamet, and wow. I might just wait for that one regardless of what the next Mule is.Fancier wrote:...and the other steel options (Maxamet and MBS-26) seemed to still be in the talking phase last month, then I'm puzzled as what it might be.

Especially when you can get Tom Krein to make the handle and sheath - talk about craftsmanship...DeathBySnooSnoo wrote:Getting the older ones is very hard on the wallet! There have been a few times I've seen one and though I MUST BUY IT, but then at the last second decided against it because of the cost.
There are only 2 of the older ones I really want...but they are popular of course. I very much like M4, and so want that Mule. And I've seen a few knives makers that like 52100...so I'd like that as well to test the steel out. Though its probably cheaper to get a custom than the Mule these days! :rolleyes:

The 52100 MT-1 is IMHO one of the prizes of this series, well worth the hunt.DeathBySnooSnoo wrote:Getting the older ones is very hard on the wallet! There have been a few times I've seen one and though I MUST BUY IT, but then at the last second decided against it because of the cost.
