Who all makes scales for the Mule Team. I really need to get around to ordering some grips but have had trouble searching through the forums for makers and contact info.
If posting names and contact is forbidden by Board rules would someone please email...
Went to Metlab Lab today and took the Mule in for Rockwell testing where I work . The two test samples came out 63 and 64 . Fine job Sal ! Guys there had fun with the experierment , Craig had a Mini Dyad in his pocket during the trial , me the C44 . Good...
We have a Rockwell hardness tester in our shop at work. I was in there enlarging the scale holes to 3/16 before shipping it to Ray for some G10 scales. So, I decided to test the Mule hardness while I was at it and it scored a 63! I tested it behind the...
As far as I know my scales are one of a kind! I realized that the expense adding up of scales for each of many Mules will probably get out of hand so I decided to make a single investment once that can be reused. I contacted a custom maker who had...
I was curious to see what every one is using on their Mule to prevent rust and corrosion. I was looking for a some what food safe product as it will probably be used out on my brothers farm now and again when he goes to pick for dinner.
I want a Mule so bad, but I can't seem to find any for sale!! Never again will I be so slow when something like this comes around. Some pics would be nice just to get me by!!
Will you please confirm the scale mounting holes in the tang will be 3/16 on future runs. I read this in one the mule threads but want to confirm before I put my Mule under the mill .
Raythebigfoot is going to make me some removable scales...
Anybody buy the Mule Team fixed blade Spyderco knife?
I saw something about it, decided it would be a nice thing to have. So I bought two of them (they are quite reasonably priced). I don't know if they're still available or not. I also don't know if I'm...
I was sitting around tonight looking at my Mule Team Knife and got to wondering??
What are you planning to do to/with your MTK?
Are you going to put it in your collection?
Test it as objectively as you can/want to and wait for more MTK's to run the...
Got these scales from Tricod (Thanks :) ) over the weekend.
I'm really liking the Mule Team. I haven't had much experience with carbon steel. I actually kinda' like the patina that's forming. The blade came very sharp, and seems to be holding it's...
We know we had a few issues with the initial release of the Mule Team. Thanks for your patience. We'll be adding inventory to the site as needed (keep in mind, SFO staff does go home at night ;) ).
We apologize to those who had an incorrect shipping...
I didn't get a mule this time around, but plan to the next go around. I've been looking for different materials to use as handles/scales for my future mule. I'd like to know what size (LxW) would be sufficient for each slab of material? Can any of you...
I had to do something while I waited for my Micarta and hardware to come in. I am not totally happy with it but it will work for now. Please show your handles as you get them done.
Sal,
I'll echo others comments on the board over the last few days and ask, no BEG that the handle mounting holes move up to 3/16... Or, at least, start the laser cut in the center of the cut-out, rather than outside. That kerf on the outside of the hole...
I saw in another thread that you plan to increase the holes in the next Mule to 3/16 . Could you confirm for me that they will be on the same center? I am just starting to make my handles and if I can just enlarge my current holes to 3/16 and have...
Since I picked up my Mule I realized that there was going to be a problem attaching scales to the blade. The holes drilled in the are all strange sizes and not standard at all. So I have been trying to come up with a solution. Here is what I came up with....
I called the SFO and they took down my phone number and name, but they said this was a hot item and it's sold out. They will still double check, but I'm sure such a great knife wasn't gonna last this long anyway.
Am I understanding correctly that the initial mule team run is sold out? :(
I've been out of town a little over a week and am just seeing this. What about those of use that opted in very early in this process ... like me? Two or three times in fact.
As the Mule sold out thread is going to die, I thought I'd start a new (positive) one, so everybody's going to see at first glance that there's no reason to be disconcerted or even angry about not getting one. Dont know how much are in stock, but...
Well the temptation is over , I ordered a Mule Saturday afternoon . Now the reasons ! First I decided since this is a ground floor adventure it would be nice to have a complete collection of a Spyderco product . Second the flexibility of being master of...
I have not ordered a Mule Team. I am big fan of smallish fixed blades but have one question on the MT. Is this knife intended to go naked, i.e., without scales or is it being offered as a project knife for us to add scales on our own?
So while I was at the SFO today I also asked about the Mule, as any good spyder fan would. Well Lynette gives me this little grin and says I was just ok’ed to sell them. So this morning, I got my self a mule. I even had choices, as it seems the first 23...
Here are some shots of the first Mule Team model (52100). Shown are a mule as you will receive it, it's pictured with a Sheath that Sal had made, (I'll provide you with the info for the sheath a bit later). The sheath for the plain Mule can work with or...
Sleeping Robot and I were having a long-winded discussion about Spyderco's Mule project, particularly the methodology being used for the study, and we became worried that we were dominating the thread and boring other readers. So we've transplanted the...
