The KA-BAR Mule Folder is, like the KA-BAR 1217, a rock-solid knife. You could say that this is the folding knife version of that famous classic. When you use this knife the robust backlock stands out. When you open the knife you hear a hard click. This is the backlock that locks the blade when opened. With its 215 grams you cannot call this a light-weight knife. You quickly notice it due to the weight and solid lock: this knife is meant to be used.
