Nuff said there.( : Maybe i can save the scales.

At least Sal is rectifying the problem before you had an issue arise. Good customer service there.

Hi guys.

There are no good ones. They might get sharp, but they won't stay sharp for very long. Please send them back to us.

No need to call in, just end it back to the return address on the box. I sent mine back Monday, should be arriving Wednesday.

At least you hadn't already spent hours customizing it. Silver lining.

Yea,thats part of the issue.Other than that,Ive beat the crap out of this thing and it doesnt show a mark and still shaves.Sal's the best to stand behind his product like this.But im gonna have to keep mine.It Splits wood like a broadaxe.Hopefully, ill get to test it on tasty animals here real soon.( : If not,it'll just have to sit and look pretty in my collection.

Anyone else keep their Cruwear mule ? I sent mine back, but then I thought maybe I should have kept it for the collectors value if they aren't successful with the heat treat. There won't be many of these in circulation. Sure they're a bust, and have little value on their own, but as part of a Mule collection years down the road, they would be pretty rare.

Sounds like wishful thinking. What would make you think the corrected heat treat would not be successful?

I thought I read a post over on the sypderco.com forum that mentioned that as a possibility. Not that I'm pessimistic about it, but they could end up a collectable. I was curious if any hard core collectors were hedging their bets. If the heat treatment works, they'll go up for sale again, as I understand it, and you could acquire a fixed Cruwear to go with your original.

Sal did say there was no guarantee the re-treat would be successful. From the initial description, I got the impression the stock was heat-treated at Crucible and worked in the hardened state. They may not be able to survive the heat-treating process already ground (since they are no longer a uniform thickness).

I'm not collector enough to hoard a defective knife on the chance it will be valuable someday. It seems pretty silly to me, which probably means they'll be worth thousands of dollars in a few years. People are strange.

As rare as the CRKT / CRK collaboration knife? Look at how well those are selling.
