The Grail Quest

[supmonkeyface]

Most of mine have come from eBay and the BladeForums Exchange forum. A few I got from a Spyderco distributor, John F Jensen, who sold discontinued models to the public but is now retiring and no longer seems to have any. And, when I was desperate enough to pay full MSRP, I got a few from Country Knives.

[Kuolema]

It'll sound silly, but mine is a Tasman Salt SE in Yellow.

:p

And I ordered one today, in six to eight weeks my quest will be at an end.

:o

[jezabel]

Well my first grail knife is on its way , an SE Massad Ayoob :D . It's a user too, so I wont feel guilty about using it either.

The only other grails I need now are : Chinook I CE, Large Persian, Micarta Caly Jr, actually you might as well add all the older Micarta lockbacks... and Spydutch's SE D2 Military! :p

[recoil]

After so many years of Spyder collecting, I have all of my grails :)

I keep them in my dealer display which itself was also a grail.

Come to South Africa Scottie! We always seem to get the last here. :p

[knifedude]

For me it is the orange G-10 Military and the orange ladybug but with no work and the economy the way it is they will probably be all gone by the time I can afford them. But it does not hurt to dream, right.




GOD BLESS!!!

[Ookami]

Don't worry, when you got the money somebody else might need it and be willing to sell their orange :spyder: s.

It makes the hunt so much more enjoyable when you have to really look for a particular :spyder: instead of just giving your credit card number to an internet shop and wait a few days.

Even the really rare ones like the anniversary Delica - the one with stag handles and damascus bolsters and blade - pop up now and then.

Kinda Sad, I FINALLY have all my Grail knifes.
Spyderco, MT, BM, & CR. Have a little over 200 folders.
The good news is, more are released every 6 months or so.
IHMO Spyderco needs to start cranking out Colorado made folders in M4.
That would help get me going again!
A new 3 3/4"-4" CF with M4 would get my attention in a hurry.

If you read this Sal, a 1/2 Ti, 1/2 CF Tip up Military with M4 would go a long way.
If you build one, please give me the option of buying one of the 1st one's produced. If not the 1st. LOL LOL
:D

[m.and]

For me it is the C46 Bob Lum folding tanto with black G-10 grips and satin, plain-edge blade. I handled one when they first came out, but sadly I was much too young to afford one then. But someday I will own one.

[skatenut]

got my grail today, a NIB Li'l Temp with a leaf shaped blade.

found it in a Belgian shop, ordered and paid for it. received a mail en francais, naturellement, telling me the knife had been sold already, it's not being produced anymore (I knew that!!!:mad :) and I'd be welcome to buy anything else at their shop. I was truly hopping mad. respectfully declined, in English, having never learned French and received a credit for the amount I had been debited. talk about a disorganised shop! :confused:

found another one somewhere else, fortunately.

[kbuzbee]

got my grail today, a NIB Li'l Temp drop point.

Really? Do you have a picture? I've only seen the leaf and trailing point models.

sorry, I misspoke, I meant leaf shaped :o

[kbuzbee]

sorry, I misspoke, I meant leaf shaped :o

That's a darned shame. A drop point Lil'T would be a phenomenal offering.

Cheers,

I'm not willing to pay bidding prices though, so it remains the unclimbable mountain.
