Ordered another Spyderco Mule Team tonite, this one is in CTS-BD1 from Carpenter Steel here in the US.
The fun of course will be deciding on scale materials. I have done quite a few of these and normally gift the knife after scaling and testing...I have very happy male relatives...lol. I have done wraps, polymer, horn, wood. And I still have this CPM M4 to do as well...
These Mule Team knives represent some very under-rated values in the fixed blade field today. With a 3 1/2 in blade and 7 3/4 OAL they make excellent camp and general use knives.
CTS-BD1 is patterned on Gingami I (also known as G2), the gold-standard for Japanese cutlerers. Its superior edge retention and surface finish are machined to a fine edge and it heat-treats consistently. From a performance standpoint, it’s a winner and it’s used in Spyderco’s latest Mule Team fixed blade.
