Spyderco Mule Magnamax rework

[deerrockknives]

I’m excited about the new steel, so I decided to pick one of these up. Not without making my own changes of course….

Off with the finger guard!


Made the ricasso smaller


I couldn’t find my angle grinder….also took it to about .008” behind the edge so it actually cuts





Anyone need a piece of the new steel?


Partial tang time










Hidden pin for strength/prevent rotating

I sae this on Instagram and appreciate the WIP pics here. Very cool! I'm debating whether to grind down the guard on mine as well.

Peer pressure is the best pressure. I'll do it.

Would you not jump off of a bridge too?

Have I ever mentioned you are my favorite maker?

Hey I’d buy or at least pay for shipping of the extra piece! I’ve got a sort of catra like test I do and I think I could make that work, with a lot of sharpening to make an edge bevel! I unfortunately missed the mule drop while on vacation last month and can’t justify buying it second hand. Let me know! Also awesome modifications and grinding work!

Why cut off so much of the tang? Because you couldn't shape the handle like you wanted with all the holes in it?

It might be for the challenge of reducing as much weight as possible, too.

One of the things he is known for is his super light builds.

I am not too fond of the mule handle shape. Normally I don’t go that extreme on partial tangs but it was required to get a shape I was happy with. I imagine it will still be plenty strong and also has that hidden pin
