So I was using my muk this weekend and I really like it. For yardwork around the house I usually threw on the Yard Keeper. But this weekend I let the Muk take a walk. I really like it. As far as opening bags of mulch, the Muk wins hands down. The YK kept getting hung up on it's mini-choil. no choil for the muck so it just slides right down to the blade. Wish I had gotten more than one.

I was really unsure about the Muk when it first arrived, but it has quickly become one of my favorites.

I wonder if at some future show like blade or knob there might ever pop up a coated muk?

Just out of curiosity, if the Yardkeeper didn't have a choil that gets hung up on the bags of mulch, would you prefer one knife design over the other? If so, which design do you like best and why?

That's a great question. For the mulch questions, i still might prefer the muk, just b/c the curviness of the blade makes for some good slashing cuts. I also much prefer the mudder grips to the YK grips.

I like the YK, it's a nice little knife, but if I had to choose one it'd be the Muk. Maybe just b/c it's so different than any of my other knives.

Every time I see another of these "I love my muk" threads, I kick myself for missing out on the offering. Still hoping that there will be some at Blade, but I ain't holding my breath.

i hope that's just an expression. i'm old fashioned and i've never spent money i didn't have.

however if you've been fine with this whole credit crisis and it won't affect you negatively, i guess that's fine.
