Spyderco’s Mule Team Series gives steel enthusiasts, makers, and collectors a rare opportunity to test and experience high-performance steels firsthand—and the Mule Team 32 is no exception. This used, handle-less blade is from the 32nd installment in the series and showcases laminated san mai construction, pairing a high-hardness core with tough outer cladding.
At its heart is SRS13, a Japanese powder metallurgy stainless steel engineered for exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. Enriched with molybdenum, vanadium, and tungsten, SRS13 is well-regarded in high-end kitchen cutlery for its performance and fine grain structure. The outer layers are SUS405, a ferritic stainless that boosts toughness and impact resistance—making this a steel composition that balances cutting ability with durability.
This knife is used, and while it may show light signs of handling or previous mounting, the blade remains in excellent condition, with no chips, rolls, or major blemishes.
Whether you're a hobbyist looking to complete a custom build or a steel nerd wanting to test an exciting composition, this is a functional piece of Spyderco steel history.
