Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?

Mule Team 27, stripped bark from old, wet hardwood logs before they went on the fire. So far so good with the Carpenter PD-1

Re: How often do you carry a fixed blade?

I’m in the “rarely, when hiking/fishing/working” group. I work in an formal office environment, so anything beyond maybe a swiss army knife on a keychain is a no-go. On weekends in town I edc a rotation of stainless folders. Fixed blades shine in a few specific cases: (1) hiking, nordic skiing, back...

Re: Mule Team Scales from Halpern

I recently purchased the standard black G10 mule scales from spyderco for my first Mule, which I believe are Halpern made? In any case, they’re awesome and I love the matte finish—it makes them look charcoal gray, which is more interesting to me. That said, I’d love to see more micarta options: oliv...
