Spyderco’s Mule Team™ series elevates this concept even further by offering the same fixed-blade knife pattern in many different steel variations and inviting our customers to join in the testing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most unique members of this elite family features High-Impact Ceramic (HIC)—a state-of-the-art Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM) material. This remarkable zirconia-based material is significantly more resistant to breakage than conventional ceramics. It is specially formulated to obtain the highest density during sintering, giving it exceptional toughness and resistance to crack propagation. This proprietary material also achieves far greater hardness than steel blades, allowing it to both cut and retain its edge incredibly well. Because this blade is produced by an injection-molding process, its full tang only includes the holes necessary for handle-scale mounting. The additional weight-reduction holes and the lanyard hole seen in steel Mule blades have been eliminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough HIC is more durable than conventional ceramic materials, it is still not as resilient as steel. It is, therefore, not warranted against breakage. Because it has slight dimensional differences compared to steel Mules, the MT40 also will not fit in our standard aftermarket Boltaron® sheath; however, a dedicated sheath specific to the HIC Mule is available. HIC's extreme hardness requires diamond or cubic boron nitride (CBN) sharpening media. For best results, finer grit (at least 600 grit) abrasives are recommended. MT40 Mules may also be returned to Spyderco for sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are a blade-material connoisseur, a hobbyist looking for a unique “kit” blade, or a die-hard Spyderco collector, the HIC Mule will proudly meet your needs.

Created by Takefu Special Steel Company in Japan, it is basically a “rebalanced” version of VG-10 stainless steel optimized for corrosion resistance. Although its alloy composition is not officially published, based on Spyderco’s laboratory analysis, it features reduced carbon and cobalt, increased chromium, vanadium, and molybdenum, and the addition of nickel and tungsten. The result is a matrix of low-volume, higher-wear-resistance carbides within a chromium-enriched microstructure. In simpler terms, it offers edge retention comparable to VG-10, but with significantly enhanced corrosion resistance. Like all Mule Team blades, the MT41 is sold consumer direct through the Spyderco Factory Outlet or Spyderco.com and does not include a sheath, handle scales, or hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: July 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spyderco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44150403760172,"sku":"MT41P","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/7189\/6620\/files\/MT41P.jpg?v=1745337609"},{"product_id":"native®-5-brown-g-10-cpm®-15v®-sprint-run®","title":"Native® 5 Brown G-10 CPM® 15V® Sprint Run®","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis elite Sprint Run® expression of the Native 5 proudly showcases a blade crafted from CPM® 15V®, an extraordinary material that offers the highest wear resistance of any cold-work tool steel available today.

In knife blades, this translates to breathtaking cutting performance and edge retention.
