Would love to see a 2nd model of Mules, I'm thinking bowie shape. Do all the metals over again or ones that are still available. It's amazing to see all the directions Sal, Eric and co head simultaneously.

I check everyday too. With my luck, I just know that they will release when I am at work or something and gonna miss getting one.
It’s good to see some more attention coming to the mule line but seeing them sell out like this smells ominously like the Busse flipper crowd. It’s unfortunate for those of use that love this brand. I own a lot of customs now but spyderco has always had a heavy presence in my users. I have a PM2 S30V, Para 3 Lw BD1N, Para3 Maxamet, and a PSF27 mule. I made the trip to spyderco in CO on a vacation and can say it’s nice to have something from the company store. I just don’t want it to be the only Mule I own. Let’s hope the next few runs may mirror the seconds sale where there are batch posts instead of a big drop and a limit of 1 per person.
That was my first thought too -- if this thing sold out in 45 mins (or less, idk), theres gonna be people selling them for $120 or $200+ with scales. Its the nature of the beast, but I've missed out on a lot of neat things because people just see a way to makr a quick buck.
If there wont be another run of the SPY mule, I may just have to bite and get a folder with it. At least its not like some of the other mules, which never had a production folder run. Got the RWL-34, M4, and B75P, and its the best way to really find out what the steel is like (since the grinds/lengths/sizes are the same).
Above all else, I'm just happy they're back!
The SPY 27 Mule is definitely going on kitchen duty! View attachment 1512119 View attachment 1512120
I'm super bummed I missed as well. Is there any sort of notification list to get on? I thought I saw someone mention that. I'll tell you what though, if I'm lucky enough to snag any from the next two batches I'm gonna buy as many as I can and sell them AT COST here to members.
Thanks.
Looks great!
Mine arrived today, along with the Boltaron Sheath and G10 scales. It's my first Mule and I can't wait to use it!
Probably pretty self explanatory but do you have any useful tips on installing the scales? Thanks
I usually coat the mule blank with thin layer of Frog Lube paste under where the scales sit, Especially if used in kitchen. I use a Qtip to get the inside of the lightening holes too. If your going to keep the scales attached for a longer period if time I'd add a smidge of Blue thread lock to the barrel screws!![]()
Mule Team subforum over at the Spyderco forum. They announced the SPY 27 release date and time about a week prior. I was ready at 10AM MST and had no problem grabbing one! Good luck friend
Couldn’t agree with you more, mules have been a lot of fun.Would be Great to see More Mule's!
The fun of the steel's, modifying shape, scales, blade, etc..
Making it your own!

I keep one in the kitchen, one in each car, one for hunting, etc..
All bought 2nd hand, at inflated prices..
Now that I was able to get 2, for the price of 1 of the cheaper 2nd hand Mule's..
I'm going to use one for a real cut down version... Something a little EDC/"neck knife" sized..

I'm in for new Mule's! All the new Mule's! Regardless of the steel... At 50$, I can practice scale making, sheath making, modify and/or give as gifts.
With S45 coming on the newer knifes, I'm looking forward to trying it out on a Mule project.
Couldn’t agree with you more, mules have been a lot of fun.
