Any way to non-permanently attach Mule scales w/o gluing them? Planning on picking up a HIC, and have ordered Ultem scales for it. Thought it might be cool to have a knife with zero metal components.

TIA

Chris

I've definitely seen plastic Chicago bolts before.

No experience with them personally, but I have to imagine they'd hold up to any use the HIC Mule is likely to see.

Need to put a bulk order in and throw them in to every order

Couldn’t see a reason to put Ultem on a black blade…..

I think the Ultem on black would be kinda cool. Maybe some tritium in the pins too.

There's always paracord

I would be going white G10 with black G10 pins….the Stormtrooper

That would be teets! I would do the reverse for a domino look but the storm trooper look would be **** cool. I am really liking the idea of clear with tritium in the pins to find it in the dark. Maybe glow in the dark liners under the clear scales too.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the delayed reply. Thought I had notifications turned on.

Any idea which of the 3 sizes would work for this?

We will see. If I don't like the look of yellow and black, I'll swap on the black G10 scales off my T15 Mule, but I really dig yellow and black.
