Some more tidbits about the Desert Mule.

The screws use a T-6 Torx driver. Luck of all luck, I found one at the Sears tool section for $2. So now the belt clip is on the right side of the handle and it feels good and secure in the hand.

Thanks to an annoying citizen in the parking lot of a nameless shopping center, I now know that the knife, when locked out, will positively penetrate a car door panel. It went in about as easy as my Cold Steel SRK fixed blade does. No edge damage, the joint still feels supertight, the point is still in good shape. Yep, I think this will be a most excellent EDC tool.
