In cutlery industry jargon, a “mule” is a blade used for testing purposes. 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.

The latest addition to this elite family features Z-Max PM—an ultra-high-performance powder metallurgy tool steel enriched with vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, and two percent carbon. Capable of being heat treated to extreme hardness, it offers exceptional wear resistance and edge holding properties.

Whether you are a steel connoisseur, a hobbyist looking for a unique “kit” blade, or a die-hard Spyderco collector, the Z-Max PM Mule will proudly meet your needs. All Mule Team blades are sold consumer-direct and available only at the Spyderco Factory Outlet or through Spyderco.com.
