... and it has no jimping!
My first one does, and all my other Spydies do too. Is this a mistake or is the current Mule (S35VN) unjimped?? :(
 
Really? I don't my have my other one close at the moment, but I felt sure it had jimping... Now I'm not so sure...:confused:
 
Jimping? I don't think so.

No. I was wrong. My other Mule doesn't have it either. :o
Gotta talk to Sal when I meet him! :D
 
I don't think it is worth changing the tooling to add jimping. If you cord wrap the handles as I have done on most of mine, the thumb ramp is too low to make jimping viable, and the rest is pretty much covered. If you are adding scales, they may or may not cover up any jimping, but it isn't that hard to cut jimping at the same time if you want it.

Just my opinion.
 
I don't see how jimping would benefit the Mule.

It would also make it a bit harder for me to put a handle on them. :o
 
Well the reason I thought the new one was faulty was because it looked 'off.' It's just not a Spyderco! lol!
I guess it doesn't really NEED jimping, but IMHO it would improve grip the same way it does for the folders. And even the Hossom line has jimping, even the Rock Salt does (very sharp too). I don't know about other Spydie fixed blades, but I'm willing to bet they do too.
So why not the Mules?
