Everyone's latest acquisitions!

My little Spyderco Mule is coming home!

Started out like this...

Didn't care for that little nub, thought it would look better gone. That and the handle contoured to match.

Then I threw Joe (Flat Rock) another curve ball and said, "ever work with Ultem?"

I said no rush, and today he sent me a couple pics of what's coming in the mail.

WELL, I'm down . . . to only 8-9 last month...
Still ,
at an Olympian's pace I see .

Consistency is the mark of a champion .
( get that quote from a friend who used to say that often ; he was the team mechanic for the Women's Olympic Cycling team )
 
ever work with Ultem?
back when it first started being put on knives :
First I thought unfortunate color of yellow.
Then I thought it was dumb
then I started wondering about it.
Then I ordered a knife with it and waited for it to arrive
. . . at which point I started looking around and realized :
the handles on my favorite Klein adjustable length tool bit holders are made from Ultem !
They've been going strong for over a decade of daily ALL DAY LONG , two handed , hard use ! ! !
I've got more than a dozen counting at work and at home .
guess it is good stuff and I like it after all 👍

Welp, this finally arrived after a 6 month delay and an extremely frustrating experience with the maker. Great knife in principle but a big letdown for me. Hopefully I can flip it... 😔
