Spyderco’s Mule Team™ project began as a unique way of allowing our customers to share in the performance testing of various blade steels using the same fixed-blade “mule” format. Sold without handles or sheaths, mules are also popular “kit” blades for aspiring knifemakers. Since the demand for different mules varies by steel type, their availability also varies greatly. To address that challenge, we created a full-production Mule Team blade in our proprietary CPM® SPY27® blade steel. That way our customers will always have a ready supply of one of our most popular Mule Team blades for their projects. To differentiate it from the original CPM SPY27 Mule Team, this blade features a distinctive straight-spined profile; however, its tang design and hole pattern remain faithfully compatible with all existing aftermarket scales and hardware.
