Mule team 06 bragging rights

[zyhano]

Hair whittling on the mule, I've earned the rights

My mule chipped out recently because the edge did not like concrete too much.
I put it on the dmt stones from xxc to eef and then on the 6,3,1 micron pasted strops.
The results are great, hair whittling on s35vn steel :thumbup:
It did not take that much time to sharpen with the diamonds, pleasant surprise, I did not take the chips out fully, but it went faster than I expected of the steel.

the handles are a home experiment and yes, the screw is not comfy just too lazy to saw it to the right length

Now, on to the nr 10 mule

anybody got something to say about that? Or am I bragging to much?

Congrats on the sharpening job. I subscribe to your videos on youtube and enjoy your work. I was able to get my Krein'd Delica and Salt 1 to whittle hair earlier this summer. It's really an awesome feeling. :thumbup:

Great sharpening job...
Reminds me I really need to work on my skills.
Those handles are very distracting though

Please get better handles for that knife. Pretty please.

 

[zyhano]

yeah I know, those handles are terrible
I'll do better next time :thumbup:

Ghetto ass handles. X-D X-D

for those interested, I've posted a demo thread in maintenance, tinkering and embellishment on how to build your own strop with the diamond pastes with loads of pictures and an explanation. It can be found here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=770338

Nice and those handles arent really that bad. The mule team is one of my to buy list.

They are cool knives and it is a nice project. Somehow I use the two I have a lot in the kitchen though..
have to get some good handles and a good sheath so I can take it out
