Grails You Have Achieved

Got mine in the mail about two hrs ago.
A 100% CRK large model 21 Sebenza. made on my birthday, which really makes it special for me.
No time for pics...yet. I never thought that I would find one.
This one defines, for me, my "most recent" grail... the others don't belong in the same league.

Gorgeous collection. That small laconico looks really nice. What are #1 and #3 starting from the left?

#3 is a Yuna Mini Hard
Don't know about #1

I have 2 of my grails.
Not too expensive, but I had my eye on them for a while.
Benchmade Adamas and Spyderco Delica 4.
I'm always checking out new knives and these guys were stars for a while.
Now they're in my pocket. :)
Been carrying my Delica lately.
I will post pics when I get out of work.

Lochsa for me! Hard to beat. Had a mayo sold it kept the lochsa. I guess that tells the story! Great blades everyone.

Very nice collection.

The Konosuke Fujiyama are beautiful. Can you tell us more about them?

Of course!

They are extremely thin, blade heavy so that it cuts like a dream. Every edge (other than cutting edge) is beveled and rounded (much like sebenzas), very lightweight so working with them is very pleasant. They are of carbon white steel #2, so it takes an extreme sharp bevel. When I prep green onions, I swear they jump out of the way (kidding), but really, FANTASTIC knives.

already looking to get more fujiyamas to further my set.

Konosuke fujiyama Yanagi, deba, petty, and nakiri to come!
 
I'm happy with my GEC Barlow 15, and I have another on way. Feels good in the hand, looks good, and cuts.
 
My current "Grail" is the CRK "Glorious" Sebenza. My wife has promised this knife to me for our seventh anniversary (in June), but I don't think I'll be able to wait that long, so most likely it will be in my hands in a few months. After that, I don't know. I already have my Ratmandu on the way, which should be here in January. I am starting to get to the point where I have many multiples of knives that could conceivably fill all the roles that I have: bushcraft, camping, EDC, self defense, beater, etc. That said, there are plenty of Spyderco knives I'd like to have, so that is probably where my blade money next year will go after the CRK.
 
When I finally buy a Loveless Chute Knife and a New York Special my search will be complete.
 
I picked these two up just after I told myself that I wouldn't step into the custom or uber high end stuff... and I saw these two on the exchange last week. I've been wanting a Tighe Breaker ever since I saw some of Brian's work floating around the internet. I've been wanting a Rockstead ever since I found out about them and their performance. The thing that stopped me was price, but... I lucked out. I found two grails in such a short span of time.

These two were rather difficult to photograph with mirror polished surface...

Finally found a Busse SFNOLE that should be here tomorrow after a couple of shipping SNAFUs. Would have preferred a coated model I think but we'll see. Before that it was a FSH, or HOGFSH.. Only other thing I'm really looking forward to would be a ZT/Emerson folder.
