Spyderco Mule Team Leather Sheaths

Spyderco have a product called the Mule Team. This is a blade blank available in a variety of steels and the idea is that you put your own handle of choice onto the blank.

People have used many different materials including wood, G10, cord wraps, corian, micarta and so on.

There is an excellent Mule handling write up here from Nick on British Blades.

There is also a Show Your Mule thread on the Spyderco Forums with many examples!

Belt Sheaths

VG-10 Damascus Mule (Halpern Titanium Scales)

Dark brown with nickel hardware.

VG-10 Damascus Mule (Desert Ironwood)

Handled in desert ironwood by Captain Beaky on British Blades. The sheath is mahogany with brass hardware and has a lined retention strap to prevent any scuffing or scratching of the knife handle.

CTS-BD1 Mule (Halpern Titanium Scales)

This sheath with a tooled Spyderbug has a snap-off belt loop to allow it to be easily taken on and off the belt. It also takes a mini tek-lok on the back which then allows it to be used horizontally for scout carry or cross draw as well as mounting on PALS/MOLLE.

S30V Woodcraft Mule

This Woodcraft Mule was handled by me in stabilised spalted birch.

S90V Mule

Handled in stabilised horse chestnut by Quickbeam from British Blades, this is one of the very first sheaths I made so it’s a bit wonky!!
