About CPM 20CV:
[FONT=&amp]Spyderco’s twenty-third Mule Team installment features CPM 20CV steel, a highly wear resistant, powder metallurgy stainless tool steel. CPM 20CV is unique in that it contains a high volume of vanadium carbides and the highest amount of chromium of any high-vanadium stainless steel currently available. This potent combination of elements gives it a remarkable combination of high wear resistance, superior corrosion resistance, good impact toughness, and excellent polishability. These properties are maximized by the powder metallurgy process, which ensures an extremely clean steel with small carbides and a very fine grain size.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]CPM 20CV excels in industrial applications that demand high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance, such as plastic injection feed screws, barrel liners, screw tips, and mold cavities. It is also used in food processing equipment and pelletizer knives and is an extremely popular blade steel in high-performance custom knives.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]CPM 20CV's alloy composition is as follows: Carbon: 1.90%, Manganese: 0.30%, Silicon: 0.30%, Chromium: 20.0%, Tungsten: 0.60%, Molybdenum: 1.00%, and Vanadium: 4.00%.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]An advanced alloy that offers outstanding potential in high-performance cutlery applications, CPM 20CV is a truly unique blade material.[/FONT]

What is the Mule Team:
[FONT=&amp]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.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]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.[/FONT]
 
Thanks Spyderco! I'm loving my MT24 Maxamet.

I'm new to this project but I'm needing a new fixed blade. Is there anyone that's a go to on the forum for sheaths or handles?

Thanks!

I got my scales from Halpern. I'm very satisfied. They have a broad selection.

Well my, my, my... backfilling the 4V and Maxamet Mule gap with an excellent choice of steel.

Thanks!
 
The new website handled the MT23 order without any of the hiccups with prev. Mule Team opening day sales. Once I craft the scales, this'll be a gift for a friend in the Pac NW who will put it to regular use in the (retired) freedom of the hills.

Many thanks to the Spyderco crew!
 
Saw this is same as M390 but not made by Bohler. Needless to say I'm excited for mine to arrive. First mule here I come.
