What is your ultimate grail knife?

I'm always surprised at these threads when people list various production knives that anyone can simply order.
I remember a WIP thread over several months when Kyle Royer made a one of a kind clamshell Bowie for another member. Something like that would be pretty special.

This. On the other hand if your trail is a production knife your odds of owning one go up a lot I guess. Mine are in (in the obtanium range a Big Nearly J by Peter Marzitelli. He only made a few but they are out there. In the unobtanium range is the Warenski King Tut. I'm unlikely to ever even see it in person.

I love Shiro’s! One thing I really love about them is how strong they make there detents! I HATE the feeling of a week detent.

That's what I hear! I have not yet got the chance to experience one in person, but I have never heard a bad thing about them (except the price lol).

For years I used to think the PM2 was the nicest folding knife I would ever want. However, I just recently bought an XM-18, and man do I love it. Now that I have experienced a high end production knife, I think it may be time to start saving for a Shiro.

A ZT0777.

Not really a "grail" knife for me but it's the most expensive of the few ZTs remaining that I need to complete my ZT collection.

It's not that I don't have the $ to buy one. It's just that I don't want to spend the $ people are asking for them. And it's actually more readily available than the other less costly ZTs that I'm still looking for.

It's always so frustrating when that one piece eludes you. Sounds like a fabulous collection!👍:)

Lol, just clicked onto this movie because I rememberd the SLOTH scene (psh, American horror...) but I DO love Morgan Freeman and that style of wood is just 😍


It's moreso the STYLE of wood on things. I'm sorry, but no Chris Reeve wood but a couple looks good to me. I like deep, dark, red or red-stained woods, or cream colored things such as the switchblade in comment replied to above.

I believe the scales on the switchblade are made of stag antler, not wood.
 
Since $ is no object, is customizing a current/past knife count?

I'd get a custom, one-off G&G Hawk MUDD. I'd bump up the blade length to 3.6", Magnacut or 3V steel, and lengthen the handle of course (longer blade..) and rework the contours where the fingers sit. I'm not a Ti or CF fan, so how about a purple micarta.

Although I'd take a discontinued ZT version, I won't pay the secondary prices, and it is a little small for my big paw hence my custom, enlarged version.

As for something "off the shelf", probably a Bob Terzuola knife.

PS. I've never spent than $150 or 160 on a knife, so I don't know a lot of the high end/custom world.
