About CTS-BD1:
High-performance American-made blade steels are propelling the quality and performance of today’s knives to new and higher levels. A U.S.A company called Carpenter Steel recently entered the knife making arena, cutlery people noticed. Carpenter isn’t a newcomer to alloy manufacturing just a new-neighbor in the community of blade steel manufacturing and they’re launching a new family of alloys called CTS™ steels specifically for cutlery. One of those is CTS-BD1. CTS-BD1 is patterned on Gingami I (also known as G2), the gold-standard for Japanese cutlerers. Its superior edge retention and surface finish are machined to a fine edge and it heat-treats consistently. The CTS-BD1 Mule is a limited 500-piece run.

What is the Mule Team:
For those of you unfamiliar with our Mule Team Project, it is unique to Spyderco. In-house we call knife samples designed and built for testing and evaluation Mules. We know a healthy percentage of knife users are interested in different blade steels and their performance abilities. Running with that, we released an ongoing Mule Team Project. Several times per year we unveil the same single-piece fixed blade patterned knife in a different and exotic blade steel. This lets steel-obsessed Knife Knuts test, try and use something normally not offered to the industry. Product runs are limited to 600 – 1000 pieces of each steel type depending on foundry requirements.

Mule Blades are leaf-shaped with a sharpened and finished PlainEdge blade but with an unfinished handle providing a do-it-yourself opportunity. The unfinished handle has a series of holes for attaching custom handle scales or for wrapping with para-cord. Each piece is sold without handle scales or a carry sheath focusing the project on the blade steel. This opens endless creative possibilities for the owner to design their own handle scale and carry options.
 
Great! (but I thought MT07 was up next? :confused:)
As has happened in the past with folders, the realities of production have played hob with the orderliness of the numbering system.

The MT07P, MT08P, MT09P did not come up in the production schedule as originally planned so they are coming soon; however, we are introducing the MT10P ahead of those. ;)
Was relieved when she posted that, was beginning to think I'd had a senior moment that lasted way too long.

Good! Got mine, and I bought that titanium framelocked Catbyrd as well.
Can't believe it still hasn't arrived! :mad: :D

That's not a frame lock or I would have been all over it. They explicitly list it as being a liner lock. There's a big difference.
 
Crap! I just drove past the factory outlet today - if I knew these had been released, I would have stopped in to pick one up.
