I really love this Mule, but while it's NIB and before I buy grips and a sheath I am going to give this a try. The Mule is the recent elmax version and is stonewashed nicely. I've taken it out of the box three or four times and stared lovingly at it, but it hasn't cut a thing, still has the blade tip protector on it. I'd like to trade (plus cash or stuff on my end) for a black/satin PM2. Please email mattz357@yahoo.com with questions or offers, and thanks!!!
