Re: A new spin on "HIC dropping soon"

A dive knife? I would think not. I would want something really tough and bulletproof. At this point I think maybe Magnacut would be the thing. A fixed blade for sure. So if you have a Magnacut mule, there is your dive knife! Na they actually tried to half *** a dive knife and a kitchen material whi...

Re: A new spin on "HIC dropping soon"

Yeah basically, they'd at this point I'd assume.. with my extreme lack of business experience but I asked hollowt1pz for his .02 and he agreed with me and Steeltoez83 that we're not saying anything about the secondary release for Mule teams. I think that was being misunderstood. What we're basically...

Re: A new spin on "HIC dropping soon"

I think spyderco has already made up their minds about this material but I could be entirely wrong. I do plan on scoring 1 and providing whatever feedback I can provide. I get the benefit of getting a 2nd chance of picking 1 up. First time I've ever seen that on a mule team. If the right appreciati...

Re: A new spin on "HIC dropping soon"

On the good side you now don’t need to worry about hurting a $150 knife, already beat up. I say use the **** out of what’s left of it, push it hard and see where the limitations are. If you don’t I am sure someone else would want to without the fear of messing it up. Oh I've done multiple types of ...

Re: Welcome to the Mule Team Sub-Forum!

I’ve lost a bunch of pocket knives so I got to try a whole bunch and keep getting new favourites. Carried Native5 s30v(2), chaperel xts(x4), police 4 k390(x2) and now a manix 2 m390. I like k390 best but just switched to m390. For tool steel I cheat and a guided diamond sharpener/strop or can’t get...

Re: Show your Mule

K thanks for the glow-lume idea that I'm totally going to rip off of you 😁. I cannot believe that I didn't know about this stuff when I use SrAl2O4 strontium aluminate glow in the dark coatings on my kitchen handles as an option. Seriously thank you lol. A lot. -Jason No drama happy to help You do ...

Re: Show your Mule

Cocobolo scales that are fresh off the buffing wheel. No finish or buffing compound, just sanded to 1000 grit then buffed with a raw cotton fabric wheel. You can see why this wood is so desirable. https://i.imgur.com/miVkvCC.mp4 Casper, what kind of fasteners are those? They appear to be flat or do...

Re: Show your Mule

For those that have made wooden handles, what size pins did you use? 4mm? 6mm? I could argue that the pins are almost useless. Their diameter isn't exactly for strength it's for looks. Let's just walk through together how we make full tang knives in my shop or anywhere really. It's not a very effic...

Re: The best "worst" serrated knives I have ever owned.

This is interesting. You use nylon 3,3 or wood? Or polyethylene/teraphalate? I craft end-grain wood cutting boards, which is what is used in our kitchens almost exclusively. I imagine they would create a bunch of micro plastic shavings on any plastic board as well. Yum, right? -burly Very nice. Thi...

Re: The best "worst" serrated knives I have ever owned.

Won't someone please think of the cutting boards? Those microserrations are the nemesis of my fine boards. I got a couple little free paring microserrated knives when purchasing Spydercos online....they are now banned from the kitchen, and relegated to garden or garage work. Even then, in 90% of ca...

Re: Show your Mule

I have always loved how wood looks on a knife once it's properly done and whatnot. I personally like some of the lighter ... 'Worse' ones like ash or such which is what is on my secondary santoku in rex 121(bad idea cause I'm lazy and always wait until after eating for cleaning up, magnacut has beco...

Re: Show your Mule

Fresh set of Gabon Ebony scales I made on my HIC Mule. Last night I ordered some black screws so I can go full stealth 😎 https://i.imgur.com/nYorIiF.jpeg I like that. A lot. Get a few with the black screws if you don't mind so I know if I should switch over. I've wanted to use CF but I don't have a...

I don't recall interacting with you over on Blade Forums, Jason. Doesn't necessarily mean we haven't, but I take no offense to any misunderstanding that we may have had.

Taichung is doing an excellent heat-treatment of Maxamet. They always have and that's why I also put in for it but.. Maxamet I would think* is a little easier to heat treat but they said 68 and Rockwell said.. 68. Not 68.25 not 67.75. I was surprised and became a customer instantly. I'm calling tha...
