About Maxamet:
[FONT=&]Spydercos twenty-fourth Mule Team installment features Carpenter[/FONT][SUP]®[/SUP][FONT=&]steel's Micro-Melt[/FONT][SUP]®[/SUP][FONT=&]Maxamet[/FONT][SUP]®[/SUP][FONT=&]alloya super-hard high-speed powdered tool steel possessing properties that transcend conventional high-speed tool steels approach those of cemented carbides, the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels. When Carpenter developed this amazing alloy, they sent samples to various companies in the knife industry to evaluate as a blade material. Although many tried, Spyderco was one of only a handful of companies to successfully develop the specialized methods necessary to machine, heat treat, and grind this demanding material to yield reliable high-performance knife blades. We are now extremely proud to offer it to our Mule Team enthusiastsso proud in fact that the MT24 Maxamet Mule "jumped the line" ahead of our scheduled MT23 release.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Maxamet's remarkable alloy composition includes: Carbon: 2.15%, Manganese: 0.30%, Sulfur: 0.070%, Silicon: 0.25%, Chromium: 4.75%, Cobalt: 10.00%, Vanadium: 6.00%, and Tungsten: 13.00%. This sophisticated mix of elements, combined with the advantages of powdered metal technology, give it an extraordinary balance of wear resistance and toughness at high hardness levels. [/FONT]
What is the Mule Team:
[FONT=&]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=&]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]

:thumbup: That's going to be pretty amazing!!! (And pretty interesting.) Too bad I can't drop in and pick mine up, as I'll be out of town. Guess I'll just have to order online like everyone else.
