I have to agree with the other guys in that I don't believe there is such a thing as a "grail" knife, if we are defining that as the knife which satisfies all our longings for a perfect knife. Why? Because there is no perfect knife for longer than a moment. We change. Circumstances change. Manufacturers and markets change. Technology changes. What is a grail this year with previously unattainable features can be fairly commonplace by next year. So, IMHO, there is no such thing as a "grail" knife.
On the other hand, there are knives that I want very much. And if we can use that as a working definition of "grail" knife, then I'm all about it. My next hot desire is a Strider SnG DGG in PD-1. No particular reason why. Hell, I rarely need anything bigger than my Leek and the Leek could probably be replaced by my Cryo at a third of the cost. Good economic arguments why that is so, but that way lies madness.
Honestly, I thought it was all over when I got my (first) ZT0777 M390. Then I had to get a back up. Then a black. Then a back up black. Oy. Then a pimped Boker, then a couple of sprint run Spydercos, then an SMF, then a PT, etc, etc, etfc. Honestly, this is a disease (as more than one of you warned me).
