Tutorials related to the Spyderco Mule Team Knives....

And a little birdie told me that if you want, Hector Castro the guy that wrote the router tutorial above, will make you a set of book-matched wood scales for a really reasonable price, though you will need to epoxy them on, and finish them to your liking, but that is really pretty easy. And just made easier, by Hector himself, who posted another Tutorial on how to finish the scales.... http://spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40984
