Hey All!!
Its been a REALLY good week for me, I've acquired 3 grail knives. First, A big thanks goes out to Steel_Addiction,Josh K and Forager for making it
all happen.
....OK, so I've been looking for a Snakewood Large for awhile now, and as you all know they are damn hard to find( for me at least), I found and
paid for one at KnifeArt, just to find out that it was actually sold they just didn't update their site:thumbdn: .Then one comes up for sale here and
it's gone in seconds, I PM Josh K with a "seconds please" and forget about it.Fast forward 2 weeks later and I find a PM in my box stating that
the Snakewood was now available again!!! What luck, and as you can see from the pics its an amazing specimen, really defined grains and patterns
It actually reminds me of a Cheetah more than a snake.
Now...I recently did a trade with Forager for a few knives, including a large Regular with S30V blade.I absolutely love my UG large with rainDrop
Damascus, but to be honest I'm just not a big fan of UG's ( except the Meteor Shower UG). What I've always wanted was a large plain-jane
Regular with RainDrop Damascus.This trade came along and I was simply ecstatic.I switched the blades of the two and now I have my all time
Grail knife
.
Then today a knife I have been looking for as well came in the mail thanks to Knife_Addiction.A beautiful mint Large 21 with Micarta!! Now I see
what all the talk is about with this particular model.I love that its completely blasted, unlike the other inlays.And the Micarta feels really nice
in the hand, textured but not overly grippy.Also i just love how its not completely black, how its kinda snow camo with the lines of white
throughout.
Now one more trip to CRK for double silver lugs on all three and they are complete.
Thanks again to BF and Steel_Addiction,Josh K and Forager for making me a happy little knife-a-holic
