They are both made by Crucible, but are very different in composition. While I can't find Vim Cru listed at Crucible anymore, if I'm correct, then Vim Cru 20 is now known as CPM REX 20, as the data sheets I can find for both of them are exactly the same except for Carbon content (Vim - 1.35%, REX 1.30%). From what I can find, they are made up of:

Vim Cru and REX 20/Cru-Wear

Carbon: 1.30-1.35/1.10
Chromium: 3.75/7.50
Manganese: 0.35/0.35
Molybdenum: 10.5/1.60
Silicon: 0.25/1.10
Tungsten: 6.25/1.15
Vanadium: 2.00/2.40

You can check out their info sheets on Crucible's site:

We've heat treated the Cruware Mule and will be re-releasing, we hope before Christmas. Actually it tested quite well on CATRA.

I'm hoping they get the Cruware out - SO THAT THEY CAN CLEAR THE DECKS FOR THE ELMAX MULE!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

From TazKristi in the recall thread.

How long will it be before the MT12P is re-released?
Allowing time for all knives to be returned, batched and processed, we would estimate a re-release sometime in Dec/Jan.

Thanks!

I've never gotten an email about the new releases. I either find out here or on the Spyderco Facebook page.

As another new guy, can Mules be purchased thru vendors like CS and Howes, or only from Spyderco themselves?

From Spyderco directly or on secondary market at a premium(auction website or bladeforums). To purchase from Spyderco, go to the company website and register. Pay attention on the forum for notice of sale start date and act fairly quickly--depending on the steel, they generally sell out in a few days.

Got it, thanks!
