Sold without handles or sheaths, Mule Team blades are also ideal for aspiring knifemakers and hobbyists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis expression of the Mule Team concept features Carpenter® CTS B70P® blade steel—a high-chromium, air-hardening steel alloyed with molybdenum, vanadium and niobium. Like conventional steels, the particle metallurgy process begins with a homogenous molten bath of high-alloy steel. However, rather than being poured into ingot molds, the molten steel is forced through a nozzle under high pressure to create a spray of small spherical droplets that quickly solidify into powder particles. The small size of the particles forms micro-ingots, drastically reducing the alloy segregation in the steel and ensuring an extremely fine, uniform carbide structure. This enhances the steel’s edge retention, as well as its grinding and polishing characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCTS B70P is a powder metallurgy derivative of Carpenter’s CRB-7 alloy, but offers improved wear resistance and hardness capability. Its corrosion resistance is very comparable to 440C stainless steel. Collectively, these qualities make it an excellent candidate for cutlery applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Mule Team blades are sold consumer-direct and available only at the Spyderco Factory Outlet or through Spyderco.com. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: February 2015\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spyderco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45332429799468,"sku":"MT20","price":7995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/7189\/6620\/files\/79312f16-b295-4687-b577-7eb8c12833e8.jpg?v=1772147887","url":"https:\/\/spyderco.com\/products\/mule-team%e2%84%a2-cts-b70p","provider":"Spyderco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
