Mule Teamā¢ CPMĀ® S90VĀ®
This model is no longer in production.Ā
Spydercoās Mule Teamā¢ Series is an ongoing project that enables steel-obsessed knife enthusiasts to test different blade materials using the same exact fixed-blade design platform. Sold without handles or sheaths, Mule Team blades are also ideal for aspiring knifemakers and hobbyists.
This expression of the Mule Team concept featuresĀ CPM S90V, which is not a new steel, but it is one not commonly used in the knife industry. It is a high-carbon stainless steel formerly known as CPM 420V. With 2.3% carbon, it offers wicked edge retention and higher tensile strength. It has more than twice the Vanadium than CPM S30V, providing greater wear resistance. CPM S90V may be uncommon in our industry due to it's strength, hardness and toughness; all things that can prove to be difficult in a production atmosphere.
Given the extreme wear resistance, it proved to be difficult to grind, the steel didn't want to "give" or "let go"Ā ofĀ molecules. Although frustrating in production, this characteristic speaks to what can be expected in edge retention. All Mule Team blades are sold consumer-direct and available only at the Spyderco Factory Outlet or through Spyderco.com.Ā
