Review Spyderco Mule in SPY27

[old4570]

Came today ..
Firs thing I did was put it in my hand and ........ It was crowding my hand front and back .
Well , it is a blade blank ready for grips N stuff .
So to the grinder we go ......
I rolled the front ( finger guard ) forward and cut the hight some ..
Did the same with the rear , rolled it out to soften the angles .. Now my hand has room to move ..
Yes , the plan is to cut some rope .. Factory edge first and yada yada !
So ill be doing some testing with this blade ...

Hardness : 60/55HRC ( 60HRC file bites / 55HRC file skates )
So much testing to do and it's wet weather ( Humidity 80% ) .
Oh well , if the weather is going to halt rope slicing , I guess I can try and grip the SPY27 .

3D PrinTED ( have you met Ted? ) grips for the Mule ...
Not perfect , 1st print ..
Tweaked the design , might print again since too much hand fitting was needed .
