Good Day,


In a recent meeting with Spyderco in Golden Colorado, Halpern Titanium (halperntitanium.com) of Three Rivers Massachusetts decided to begin making handles scales for the Spyderco Mule Team knives. Halpern Titanium brings 12 years of expertise with high tech materials in a precision environment for the knife industry to the project. Halpern Titanium's business is knifemaking supplies and precision machining and cutting services for the knife industry. Their first product for the Mule Team knives will be 0.25 inch thick black G-10 scales. They have an idea that they may offer the same scales in other colors and possibly with different textures, depending on customer response.

And for the Do It Yourselfer, they will be selling the necessary hardware to mount your own scales. Drivers will be available separately.

And stay tuned, this week, I will be publishing my review of the Cuscadi Mule Scales...

Just in....

More details about the Halpern Titanium Mule handle scales have become available.

According to a post at USN, http://www.usualsuspect.net/forums/showthread.php?t=444602.

"The first batch of 20 sets should be ready in about 3 weeks. I'll keep a list of who gets first dibs! They will sell for $20.00/set and the first 20 sets will include free hardware."

And speaking of price, for those looking for hardware so that they can mount their own handle scales, Halpern Titanium will make 3 pivots and 6 torx screws available for $5.00.

I read through the thread and didnt see any pictures of the handles just the wraps, any idea of the texture or how they are going to be machined? If i missed it forgive me, Thank you.

No worries. No images have been made available, as far as I am aware.

As I understand it, this first run of Mule scales is a sort of a test, to see what the response will be.

The only details that I have heard, are that the edges will be chamfered for comfort, and the holes will be counter-bored for the screws.

As well... "The mule team blades may have some minor differences, so the G10 grips will leave a small margin, so the steel will show around the edge of the G10."

As to texture, I do not know.

Thanks for the response, Ill post on the USN forum to try a set, I think its a great idea and price is more than fair.
 
It looks as if the first run is sold out.

I do not know if they will extend this run, or if you will have to wait for a later run.

But, I would suggest emailing them, or calling them to express your interest, because they will make their future plans based on that feedback, from you.
