The perfect large folder
I've had this knife for over a year now, and it never lets me down. Although it is large, it can still easily fit in a pocket. The AUS-8a steel blade is comparable to 430 stainless and thus resists corrosion; however, it has a more natural tendency to take a good edge than most other stainless steels. The handle offers quite a secure and ergonomic grip. The blade lock is (IMHO) the most favored system and offers a secure safeguard against an accidental close. If you want a quality folder that is rugged in every sense of the word, the MULE should be at least a consideration.

Amazing.
This may as well be the king of all folders, because with its solid feel and design, weighing about a half pound with 4 inches of quarter-inch thick (doesn't sound like much, but for a knife, it's pretty dense)AUS-8a steel, and it cut everything that I've put to the test so far. When you hold it, you know that it is that KaBar quality. The blade is motionless even when I've attempted to shake it around to test its construction. Its handle is definitely meant to be held for the human hand, unlike some other knives out there. It cuts through index cards and cardboard like tissue paper, and saws through wood with ease. It comes RAZOR sharp from the package, and I have a feeling that I won't ever have to sharpen it. . .it's stayed extremely sharp for about 3 weeks now, and I use it almost every day. The blade locks in place with a satisfying *click*, and when it's time to put it away, the disengaging mechanism happens to be on the back of the handle, which is a really nice and stable...

Pleasantly Surprised
I've been looking into Ka-bar knives for a while, but could never justify buying one for myself. I got the mule folder for my dad as a birthday present. When I opened the box to check the goods, the first thing that struck me was the weight. At roughly half a pound in weight, The knife definitely feels like it can take a beating and keep on trucking with little to no problem. Although there is no pommel as a part of the design, the handle still feels solid enough for use as an improvised hammer out in the wilderness. the second thing that struck me was the handle. The combination of the grooves and the small rubber in-laces in the handle on both sides make for a comfortable and secure grip which is surprisingly unhindered by the carrying clip. I cannot vouch for its comfort level in left handed users though. (Haven't tried it.) Another thing, the blade is hella sharp out of the box. I only gently brushed the blade against the pad of my finger and I found myself nursing a nasty little...
