Cool! I've been wanting to add an extreme-tough steel to the Mule stable, and here comes AEB-L. We have a sort of polar-opposites pair here!

Hello Mule Community!
Can't wait for these!

Funny that AEB-L costs more than 15V ^^ 5 bucks is not much diference I know

Really appreciate Sal and company for keeping this going!

I was surprised to see 15v included in a mule, but really looking forward to this one.

*Happy Dance*

new to this,will there be an announcement of date and time ?

Definitely excited to see the 15v. $75 is one **** of a deal for some BBB 15v.

I have an Aeb-l Urban so unless they tweak the HT I'll have to pass on that one.

It's made in Italy, European and Japanese spydies almost always cost more than US/Taiwanese counterparts, so my money is on that being why.

I thought BBB helped with the heat treat on the AEB-L, hence the Mule?

Oh yeah, didn't check where the AEB-L Mule would be produced, thanks ^^

anyway, as long as the mules are about 120€ shipped and VAT paid for me, i'll stay in the Team !

Yes there was a post by I believe both Shawn and Sal about that. I don't know if that HT protocol will make it to the mule, very good question.

Any idea when these will become available?

According to:

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=89168

...there were 5 mules released in 2021 and 3 in 2022 (the M398 release isn't on the official past-issues list yet), rather roughly spaced out into quarters of a year. We are still due the T15 mule (we thought it would be a 2022 release, should be coming soon) so it would not surprise me to see one of the newly announced 15V or AEB-L Mules by late spring or summer. Just a guess.

M398 is available now, if interested.

Hi Mule Man, Timbits, Stewart,

Welcome to our forum.

sal

AEB-L seems to be distinct from some of the other recent Mules that I have purchased. And interesting to see a made in Italy. Super excited to see this one come out. Thanks for making, Spyderco!

Hi Jim,

Yes, that is correct.

sal

Do we know when they'll release? There are already the other two that are "Coming Soon". Will these all be spaced out, or will we have 4 or 5 types of mules available at one time?

I am excited about both!!!! AEB-L is way undervalued! excited to have such a tough steel. I will get two! The 15V mule will be popular! I will get two of this as well if I can snap them up in time. Both will be worthy of a custom job on handles

Only the last one has been available for more than a day or 2. Prior they have been a sold
out in a few hours or a day at the most.

But Spyderco has been making a lot more than before to get these into the hands of people that want them nowadays.

Can’t see these 2 (especially 15V) being around for long.

The SPY27 will always be available as it is going to be a constant mule.

These 2 will be released in several months with the Rex T15 to be released soon I would say.
