I was able to get a hold of one of my grail knives through the forums and it's everything that I expected it to be and more. There's only one way to describe this knife, I love it. This is a knife that I've been looking for quite a while and I'm ecstatic now that I've finally got it. Sorry if I sound like some sort of school girl or something in the unboxing video.

Nice knife!

Are you going to use it? or will it become a safe queen?
 
Congrats for getting something you've been longing for.

One thing, and this isn't directed at you personally, but I noticed you said this in your video.

People always/often mention "rock solid" lockup with "no movement in any direction" as a positive point to address in reviews, but shouldn't all decent knives have a lockup that acts this way? Every folder I own from $35 - $250 came with tight lockups that don't budge...so is this something that needs to be pointed out, or did I just get lucky with all of my purchases?

I've had a few knives that came from the factory with a little blade play, normally side to side, caused by the pivot not being adjusted right or just poor quality control over tolerances. Yes, there are knives on the cheeper end of the scale that have the same lockup, but then there are those that aren't as well. I've also seen much more expensive knives with the same issue that slipped through somehow. It's just something I always end up checking with any folder.
 
Congrats! It's a beauty.
I got my grail(Large Sebenza 21) earlier in the year and use it regularly.
Really helps me respect the knife more and enjoy it fully.
 
A good reason to explain "Rock Solid Lock Up" is for future buyers of said knife, to give them an idea of maybe what to expect. Plus this is just something that is normally checked by knife nuts like us.
