In keeping with the Mule tradition it should be the same edge angle as the rest of the mules

Maybe the choice of words should be “Material” and not “Steel”
I hope Spyderco gets the heat treat right
I wonder how many got made… Drop will be tense for me.

My goodness it's beautiful, and it looks like it was def worth the wait. Thank you Spyderco team for making this happen... now I'm just going to have to figure out the launch date so I can take the morning off and prep for the online shopping adventures. I bet this one goes quick.
Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
thanks for bumping this, I wanted to read through this again.
Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
Sorry for the negative post earlier. I was in a dark mood earlier.
I’m super excited for this mule and just really hoping I can get one. FOMO is still very real though.

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
Is possible to get a very rough ballpark drop date so I can write it into my future budget and save up $?

First post on last page here just says 'coming soon'
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=95655&start=120
I'm more interested in timing so I can ensure I'm not out of town, in the woods, or on the water when this drops. Ill have to train the wife up on website combat on getting an order pushed through as fast as possible

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
DAYUM it's finally here ! (Well, announced at least).
I thought this day would never come
Thank you Fireman for launching this thread, and Sal for following up with a production version of the proto you were testing all this time.

At $150 maybe there won't be the intense competition? Or is that just wishful thinking.

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
Option B, I think.
Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
My father always wanted a good ceramic blade, this looks like it’ll be the grail he never saw coming. Granted I can get one lol. Thank you Spyderco!

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
Is elastic ceramic as fragile as a normal ceramic blade? Meaning if it's dropped, it could break?
Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
I will if I can get 2, make one thinner like I did to my Magnacut mulelegOFwhat? wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 2:00 pmAnyone have plans to sharpen these? Brave enough to reprofile and thin out?
Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
I think the demand will be insane once the word gets out. I hope they make a ton of these. maybe 5,000+ but probably not likely.
Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
I've been using this stuff in 3 kitchen knives for 2 years. Never had to sharpen them and no chips. It seems pretty durable for normal kitchen use. As for dropping it I guess it would depend on what you drop it on. I think linoleum would be ok, but ceramic tiles could damage even a steel knife. This stuff is flexible whereas normal ceramic knives aren't.

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
That's my fear too. Well, it won't be as crazy as the Magnacut Mule, but it's very possible that there'll be more demand than usual.
This Ceramic Mule is perhaps 50% more expensive than the average knife in this series... yet it's also a promising, complete novelty that people will be eager to try out.
I do hope Spyderco hasn't underestimated the demand for this one... don't let us down !
Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
I for one will buy as many as allowed... would love to be able to have a few for gifts. Have a buddy getting ready for a long deployment who needs a good lightweight blade.
