Hi Ruben, love yer work! What is that "Mulita" you say is on the handle; im intrigued.

Ruben Calo · Aug 16, 2006

A "Mulita", "Quirquincho", "Peludo" or "Tatu Carreta" is an Armadillo

Firstly, beautiful knife.

How does the mulita feel. Does it have the feel of bone...or more of leather? How durable is it? Just curious...

Really interesting....and...did I mention...beautiful....

The sensation in hand is like bone, but as every shell, it's impermeable. Duration and care is like any other organic material

Thanks for loking!

Ruben, you are going to make me look at "Dillers" in a whole new way. I would have never thought about a Armadillo hull as a knife handle scale. To think of all the knife handles I have straddled on the highway........
