What are your CRK grails?

as unlikely as one of the Relief Sebs are, I'll take it down a notch and say an annual mammoth ivory with damascus(dragonskin, blue).

For fixed i want that frejya or the #5 short sword that one store has that someone took a pic with.
 
I'm a man of simple tastes. I'll take one of the flat ground Regulars from a few years back.

Found a river of fire, now I need a snakeskin damascus :)

I hang my head low, shaking it back and forth .... muttering ..... how does he do it .... does he not sleep ..... does he have some kind of sixth sense when it comes to finding these rare things .... has he made it his goal in life to torture the rest of us? Fan-freaking-tastic Franz! Pics, pics, pics when it arrives.

I just can't seem to help it. :p
I mean, who wouldn't buy a River of Fire if they found one and had the means to do so? It will be a tough wait for it to arrive for sure!
Or bronze, blue or mosaic damascus? Finding these things is definitely making me more selective though, it's time to thin the herd and concentrate on the truly wild.

^^^This^^^ I don't know how he does it, but Franz definitely has his CRK Mojo dialed in. Seriously, it seems like every CRK he gets, is someone's grail; even if they didn't know it until after he posted a pic of it.:). He should open up a CRK locator service.:D.

Ok Franz, here's a test run to gauge your CRK locator potential. Your mission, should you decide to accept, is to locate a pristine/flawless Large CRK Ole Glory with Blue Raindrop Damascus. This post will self destruct in 10 seconds...ready, GO.:p
 
Bluesummer's lignum mnadi with the decorative pivot pin. That thing is a stunner. But any of the mnandis with the decorative pivots would be pretty high on the list.
 
Today was a very good day.
Grail receipt, obligatory camera phone picture, I will spare the Mnandi thread until I get a better pic.
Mnandi with Bill Burke River of Fire damascus, Syringa wood inlays, one of only seventeen :D
It has a gold color spacer, I hadn't seen that before.
