Scenario: Your rare grail knife gets stolen. How do you prevent it and what do you do if it happens?

[Bob Denman]

And if they take your gun safe?

Bolt it to the floor...

My friend once lost a rockstead higo. They picked the knife right from his pocket.

I don’t know you or your friend, but that hurt me to read.

Bolt it to the floor...

I rent .

I rent .

Bolt it to the floor anyway, if you move 5 years from now you will have forgotten about that security deposit anyways

When you move: unbolt it, and fill in the holes with a mix of putty and sawdust...

Are you really walk around with sock drawer handy ???

He probably screwed on a Timascus clip to the draw for a hands-free look.

If my "Grail" got stolen...I'd make a new one.

My ultimate Grail, times three .

None of them are kept locked up, I like to enjoy them often (top two anyways). One is sitting on my desk right next to me as I type this, the other sits on the table next to my tv watching chair. What's the point of acquiring your Grail if you can't just reach out and pick it up whenever you feel like it.

 

[Drop bear]

I don't own a knife worth stealing and if I did I wouldn't tell anyone.

 

[Corton93]

Nothing more special than something you made with your own two hands

.....

What would you do if it does get stolen?

but seriously?
even with all the security measures,
theft is highly unpredictable.
i guess that explains
why generations of folks
have chosen to sleep
with their.precious valuables
tucked under the pillow
can't rightly say how many
were willing or even ready
to put up a fight when need be.
but i guess somebody
would be exceedingly foolish
to try robbing a knifenut!

You rig it so if it moves, a piano falls on their head.

That is what I am thinking. I cannot make it yet but I am working on reverse engineering the design and saving it electronically so that if it does happen I can easily have it replicated. Maybe one day when I get my own place I will get some equipment and start making my own.

I think most people in this thread are assuming the theft will occur while they are there... read above(or in a previous page) what happened to my parents. What if you go on vacation for 2 weeks to a place where you cannot/won't take your knife?

From my cold dead hands.

This isn't a "List your favored home defense firearm" thread, lol, the knife is already stolen in the scenario listed, and honestly, if somebody makes it out of my house with something, not a whole lot of chance seeing it again without seeing them. I'm under no delusion the police will be going on a manhunt for my knife, and only if the guy is stopped with it on him do I have a chance of return.

This is one reason why I don’t have a “ grail “ knife or anything like it. They are only material items that are made to be used.

I look at it this way, why buy or acquire something I’m afraid to use or loose? If it sits in a vault or safe never used or admired out in the open, what good is that? So some of the knives I have are really nice but they aren’t really anything that special that I’m fearful of loosing.

I have a few sentimental items and knives that I wouldn’t want to loose but it’s not the end of the world if that happens. Kinda similar to the old saying, don’t gamble anything you don’t want to loose.

Same, except acme anvil.

If someone manages to unbolt and cart the 500lb safe out of my basement then they have earned it.

What is your grail you are so worried about?

That is the wisest view. Only knowledge should be treasured.

Luckily a relatively simple one that is very easily reproducible. If you browse through my postings you will very quickly find what it is.
