These are two Grail knives that I recently acquired. These are some quick photos; apologize for the lighting.

The all Ti knife is a custom Michael Raymond "Estrella", with hand jigged body and clip, Damasteel rose pattern damascus HRC 61, and solid 10 carat gold thumb stud. This is a single piece Ti integral folder, much like those of Scott Cook, who is Michael's mentor and friend. Waiting list is currently about 2 years (but I obtained from a dealer whom Michael supplies periodically). Size is just between a small and large Sebenza, with the most solid, tank-like lock-up I've ever heard.

The Mid-Tech is a 2009 small Sebenza with Devon Thomas ladder damascus and mammoth bark inlays. Purchased off a well-known forum member. What else can I say about this beauty?






 
Thanx Lisa and Serg. All of you (I'm including Hoodep) are my inspiration. Now I have to get to work on a video.
 
Super nice!! While his plain/polished Estrella is sweet .... this one is over the top!!! Congrats!
 
Thank you d.r.h for making me aware of the website/dealer where I bought it. Would not have happened otherwise. Much appreciated. Now if I could just find a folder with a Stellite 6K blade, I'll die happy :)

Thanx Bpeezer and bld522. bld522, I thought the Estrella would be your kind of knife, since we have similar tastes. Check out some of the videos on it. The Mokuti version, which is still for sale, is too colorful for me. This is one good knife I plan on EDCing, as it does not even show marks.

Congratulations indeed. I really like the looks of the Estrella. :)
 
Congratulations on both knives! The CRK is great looking. I have a couple WH Damascus blades but nothing for CRK.....yet
