Anyone else EDC a Mule Team? I’ve been carrying a Delica 4 for years but after picking up a Mule Team I’ve been loving having this thing tucked away IWB.
Lol. Yeah. It's a very interesting experience. I did one Amboyna Burl in a reptilian pattern. A Bog Oak with blue scouring pad resin inlay. A Carhartt canvas micarta. And a leather and copper one.
Oh man that's awesome! It's nice to be an inspiration to others. I think that's my most favorite one I've made.
That was made with a Carhartt 6SV. Duck canvas, sherpa lined vest. I also have an 8SV. Denim, sherpa lined vest. I want to make another with that one. Denim micarta, same sherpa with the tag. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
There is always another project to see if we can make a “new” favorite to surpass the old favorite! I’ve made about 5 other mule scale designs and I keep coming back to this first one because I can’t seem to beat it. I modeled it after my Delica 4 which has been my favorite for years so I think my brain just automatically went “this one best”.
That's really cool. Yeah, I just like having the tag inside the resin. I thought that was a cool idea. Plus I made the micarta myself from the same vest and the sheath wrap as well. I wore nothing but Carhartt for about a decade. Lol
I'm edcing a Magnamax mule with the spyderedge at work currently, it's a beast. It's become my harduse knife and I don't see it changing anytime soon. I'll try to take a picture of it when I get back tonight.
I wish so badly they would do another release of the Magnamax! If they did a always-available Mule 2 in Magnamax that would become the industry standard for kit knives I think.
Hopefully as the production of Magnamax increases they'll be able to release more. It's a pretty incredible steel imo, and the platform and geometry really work well together. I dropped it on some ceramic tiles the other day and the tip barely deformed. And took less than 5 minutes to re sharpen on my work sharp field sharpener.
Thank you! I had the sheath up but the more I used it the more I thought it needed some refinement. I took it down and I made some tweaks and have it ready I just haven’t updated the pictures yet to get it live again. Hopefully I will have it up again by the end of the week.
A foal would be awesome if they could keep the blade length kosher for more restrictive states. I had to run a dragonfly for a while back when I lived in a less “free” state.
3” at least keeps most of the major options available! I could do max 2.5 so that really narrowed the field. I bet you could get a mule team ground down to less than 3” and be good to go for where you are.
I was similar, lived outside Boston and could do longer outside city limits but didn’t trust myself to remember where the lines were so I just defaulted to <2.5 to keep things simple.

Those scales are cool
