Anyone have any thoughts on the Ka-Bar Mule as a bigger, inexpensive EDC? Any thoughts on the Mule in general?

Thank you in advance everyone!

I will start by saying, "I don't have one."
However, the posts from people who do have the original version with its AUS8 blade have been extremely positive. This version is still available. There are also other versions with 3Cr13 steel. I have not read any posts on that one. Personally, I'm not in a hurry to try any folder in 3Cr13.

Comments from owners have been that the AUS 8 version is a reasonably tough, well built, dependable knife for outdoors activities, and is comfortable in the hand in heavy cutting. A bit big for pocket carry for most folks. I am a fan of AUS8 and consider it a good alloy for a field knife. It takes a fine edge with little effort and holds it reasonably well.

There was one YouTube video in which someone demonstrated a lock failure. I dunno. That reviewer I do not know. I do know some of the fellas who have posted their experiences on BF and those have all posted positive comments about lock reliability.
 
Thank you Knarfeng, I have also heard a bit that is positive about this knife.
The Version I was looking at was the Aus-8 steel, I don't think I'd get a folder in 3cr13.
 
I havent used one, but ive held one numerous times, ergos seem "off" to me. Other than that, very sturdy knife built by a quality company
 
It's not too shabby. did some stupid drinking/knife games with one. pretty ergonomic when its not poking one's hand
 
So, there are some reports of a lock failure on this knife, but not enough to turn me away I think. The general consensus is it seems to be a well built knife by a good company. I may have to pick one up.
