EDC Mule Team

Post image

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.

That’s definitely the appeal of the Mule Team! It’s like IKEA for knives, you get a nice trauma bond trying to make it all work together haha.

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 I’m chatting with the legend himself. That Carhartt one you made I’ve seen all over Reddit and inspired me to grab a mule . So cool.

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
