Now you're talking :') . I'm a big customer of US and UK media but I had never encountered Sofia Vergara before that ! (Imdb indicates I saw her in a couple of Statham movies but really have no remembrance of that :grin-sweat

Lately I’ve been strapped for time but really wanted to put my new 15v Mule to work. I decided to do a set of scales as fast as I could without compromising on quality. The result was this set of Purple Heart scales, done in 1 hour and 5 minutes. The tools used were a drill press, bandsaw, trim router, and belt sanders (2x72 and 4x48). This was actually my first time making a set of removable Mule scales but definitely not my first set of knife scales. Hope y’all like them!

Really like the reprofile. Have been wanting to reprofile a mule and this may just be the inspiration I needed. Appreciate you sharing man.

Totally. The thinner handle makes it not the best ergonomically for outdoor or hard use, but for SD and edc it’s just fine! It’s way more nimble

My first mule handles. Tried some different materials and all are imperfect but I'm totally fine with that. Got some good advice from another member of the forum. I plan to put them in a knife block and use them around the kitchen and when camping.

Those look great! I especially like how each one is a different configuration. May I ask where you got the shred cf on the bottom T15?

Great work Bram :fist-bump
Mate you’re charging with 4 done already. As above like the mix of pins and choice of placement.
Looks like you have mastered it now :star-struck .

Happy to help out, as many helped me along the way.

Also would like to know that carbon fibre supplier…

If I'm not mistaken, that shred CF is available on aliexpress :) I've got some a year ago, haven't used it yet :

There is a huge price gap between that place and say an online knife supply company. $20 for a set of cf at AliExpress vs $95 for a set at fat carbon...seems sketchy to me, does it have good quality?

Amber Mule compact
this mule was shortened by about 1/4" with finger grooves added. By removing guard, grip size was maintained. Scales are brownish transparent G10 with orange G10 liners G10 pins and aluminum hardware. Leather sheath.

I’m fascinated by both of these with major handle/thumb-ramp/nub modifications. Good job!

In early 2022, I rounded the nub, lowered the thumb ramp, and then lowered the spine of my Magnacut mule to make it look right. It is amazingly more comfortable than before! I intend to lower the thumb ramps for most or all mules as I put them into service in the future, but it is certainly a nuisance, and grinding on my Mules is a risk that I wish I didn’t have to take.

Now it actually fully fits in the Spyderco leather sheath, but I currently exclusively use the boltaron sheath.
