Wanted: your personal grail stories! What are you looking for, or what did you get?

My grail was an Infidu/Swatmandu, but I couldn't justify it as I had a similar sized knife and needed a chopper. When the MemorialDayGanzaaa came along saying they would be the last of the Infidus, I caved and ordered one in blue/black G10.

My grail is now a NMSFNO.

The other grail that is in my dreams is a satin SAR 8 Persian Fighter Variant with sandstorm G10. Most beautiful knife I've ever seen.
 
My grail is to find the NARK. It was my first Busse purchase back in the late 90s. I sold it for some stupid reason and haven't seen one for sale since.

A lot of those stories of regret on here. I'll try and learn from you guys and not sell my most precious pieces ....
 
I have a Randall coming next month that I need to pay for, after that I'd like to order a custom shop nmsfno. I guess that's my grail ( have never owned a busse)
 
In my case, a while back, it was 'What would I do with that?. I can use this': a HellRazor. The AK I had snubbed will be mine after the edge is rehabbed and, while I'm still not sure what I'll actually do with it, I'll have it.

CGFBM... Nuff said!

Any color combo, any handles. don't matter cause it's would be stripped and abused anyways 😁
 
My grail should be showing up on Saturday! It makes missing Blade a bit easier.

Custom Shop Satin TG with buckeye burl wooden handles and mosaic pins. I got a fantastic deal on it and it comes with a Chuddy Bear sheath. I can't wait!!

My package got here a day early!! Whooopeeee!! The weekend just got a whole lot better!

I am in love. This knife is freakin' beautiful. It is the most beautiful knife I've ever laid my hands on and it truly is my #1 Grail.

Thank you Busse for making such a badass beautiful work of steel and wood art. Thank you Mtn Crow for being crazy enough to part with it and for giving me an amazing deal on an incredible Busse Custom TG.

Nice. Congrats. That wood really does give it a classic elegant look to it. Like the tiger? rug it's posed on also. I got a reindeer pelt from Norway I think is gonna come out of hibernation from the dresser drawer to take some pics of some blades on. Seeing all the new stuff at Blade in the BTOTY thread has got me craving INFI. Might be selling one of my guns for funds.

You like that skin rug? I have no idea what it really is, a friend suggested it's probably just a goat skin with a really good dye job. I've seen some post of knife pics with the knife sitting on a white tail deer pelt and they look great, so yes, you should pull out the reindeer pelt and snap some photos!

The BTOTY thread has got me craving more knives as well. There is some amazing steel showing up in those photos! I'll take one of each, please. I'm just going to have to sit tight until the income tax refund shows up in a couple of weeks and then go a spree!

Is it odd that I prefer knives and guns over jewelry, shoes and purses? One of my sisters stopped by for lunch last weekend and was all excited to show me a new purse she'd bought. I said it was nice and then I went and got my new Swatmandu and showed it to her. She doesn't understand how I can get all excited about a knife. I love Bladeforums because those of us that come here and hang out all get it. We understand that feeling of elation when the UPS or FedEx truck shows up with our newest knife.

I know one thing for certain...next year I am going to Blade 2016, come hell or high water!

Yeah, and your friend is probably 100% correct.;) Unless somehow got lucky enough to possess a genuine tiger pelt. I'm a Busseless chump so gonna have to be some other blades but your pic got me to remembering I still had that and would look good in some pics.

For sure some amazing blades. I cringe spending $400+ on a single blade though. Questioning what if i break it, what if i lose it, what if its stolen. I really want to get something though. Thinking Hellrazer or NMSFNO. See them at prices I can sorta afford once and awhile. Had a Boss Jack for awhile but something came up and knew wasn't gonna keep it cause wanted something bigger so didn't get a chance to use it cept indoors, which I regret.

NOOO!!;) Chicks that dig knives is sexy. And for god sakes don't be shy about taking some pics of yourself holding a couple/posing with some of your Busses.:D I swear I won't mind.
Can definately connect on your thoughts/tastes of the finer things in life girl.

Me too. Gonna try to time it right so catch a ride down there with somebody. Really don't want to pay for plane tickets and try to come back with some blades. I do know some people that give away plane tickets once in awhile too so hopefully that's a possiblity.
