Mule Team™ AEB-L®

This model is no longer in production. 

Spyderco’s Mule Team™ 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 features Uddeholm AEB-L®, a blankable stainless steel originally developed in the 1960’s for use in razor blades. AEB-L offers a unique combination of high hardness, sharpness, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Although its edge retention is overshadowed by other steels, its superior edge stability makes it ideal for knives with thinner edges and large knives requiring extreme toughness. All Mule Team blades are sold consumer-direct and available only at the Spyderco Factory Outlet or through Spyderco.com.
