Good Day,
When Sal Glesser of Spyderco first proposed the Mule Team knives, he did so with the assumption that there would be those who would provide the handles and sheaths necessary to make the knives useful.
Now, as we know, he was right, Halpern Titanium, soon Blind Horse Knives, and a whole slew of hobbyists and custom knife makers have stepped up to the plate and delivered handles.
Similarly, sheath makers have provided their products, and among them is a product sold by Forum member JLS.
And, now to the photos....
First we have a photo of the leather sheath, with a Chinese Mule handled by JLS hisself.
His Mule, in it's sheath.
An image from the fold of the sheath, showing the belt loop.
And the back of the sheath, showing the sturdy construction and the double stitching of the belt loop. And, while there is a bit of extra dye on my example, yours will not feature, only us fancy reviewers get that!
Holding a Mule with Halpern Titanium Option 1 scales.
Holding a Mule with Halpern Titanium Option 3 scales.
Holding a Mule with Halpern Titanium Option 4 scales.
Holding a Mule with my custom 3 layer Strider Wrap.
Holding a Mule with Mystery Scales.....
The sheath easily held all the models, though the scales with thinner scales or the cord wrap did not hold as securely, of course, that could be remedied very easily, and I will let JLS tell you how to do that.
All told, this is a well made leather sheath, built specifically for the Mule.
Thank you,
Marion
