What's Your Grail

[Tyrade83]

I believe that those are Mike Thourot customs in INFI. From about 2005? maybe, I don't know if he got INFI blanks from Jerry, or if it was a straight up collaboration. Either way, mmmmmmmmmmm, sexy. Good call tree herder!

Thanks for the info. They look very nice.

Well - like others I have aquired a few of my "Grails" over time and of them these are two that have stayed ...and are still my Grails

Currently I am waiting to see what comes out of the shop next and the Basics are looking pretty cool :thumbup:

Ya - I just love them old junky blades - so if anyone has some just junking up your storage area - let me know and I will take them off yours hands...Heck I will even pay for the shipping :thumbup:

I don't recall ever seeing a dedicated thread from jerry on the Thorout customs shown here. I saw one go up for sale on in the exchange, and occasionally they are mentioned, but not very often.

There was a dedicated thread for the piano key's and the grand piano:

Mike Thourot made this "One & Only" Grand Piano Key to match a HOG's regular piano key!!! Holy Crappin' Thunder this is the shiniest, highest polished knife I have EVER seen!!!! It is blinding!!! Nice job Mike!!!!:thumbup:

Here's another shot. . . .

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...w-z-About-A-GRAND-PIANO-KEY?highlight=Thourot

My good friend Mike Thourot and I collaborated on just 5 of these for the BLADE Show. . . ..

The picture does not do this blade justice. Mike polished these hollow ground blades so high that it is nearly impossible to get a good pic of them. . . . .

The bolsters are made out of MP45 (Busse Stealth Hawk material) and the handles are made out of ivory micarta. . . .

They are the highest polished pieces of INFI that I have ever seen. . . .

BLADE Show selling price = $327.00!!!!! A Dwayne Puckett "Leatherman" custom sheath will be included!!!

Good luck to those who try for one of these. . . .They will be available starting at noon on Friday, so if you can't make it to the show, be sure to email me at jerry@bussecombat.com to reserve one for yourself.

Thanks,

Jerry

and, just for the sake of posting them (they aren't grails for me, the bowie has a choil and the chuckchete isn't my style, though if I ever win the lotto I'll order a super heavy/long chopper)
Dan Busse's forged INFI bowie:

and 1whobuys chuckchete

I would definitely take a 1 handed thinned out version of that beater green ak47 though.

 

[Longknife3]

The BF auction knife that Jaxx is holding onto for me
...with a 10" blade since I'm wishing:thumbup:

 

[Matteo Escobar]

Ok. I just wanted props on that. It turned out really sweet. You must have some pull at Busse cause I never got mine yet. It sure is sweet! Congrats on that Grail!

Do you really think that an asymmetrical Basic is your unique idea?

 

[PeterPHWS]

Like some who have been around a while I have been lucky and managed to acquire my grails ...

The Nuclear TTKZ ...

The Basic 9 ...

What makes them "grails" is how well they work ... each has it's own strengths ... the B9 is my lightweight belt knife ... the NTTKZ my ultimate chopper :thumbup:

People ask regularly "if you could only have one ?" ... the answer for me is "No" ... I need two :thumbup:

 

[Ron Athay]

My grail knife does not existing, but I still dream. Satin, Infi HRLM, Snake skin handle.

 

[M67]

and 1whobuys chuckchete

Mmmm.....chuckchete :thumbup:

If there was a drool smilie I'd use it, well, let's try :drool:

 

[R0CKETMAN]

Do you really think that an asymmetrical Basic is your unique idea?

I'm pretty sure Dan was referring to a "Satin" Asym B11

 

[kfgk14]

Well, not INFI, but I'm pretty pumped for my Rucki...
So I guess that's my grail!

 

[Flatsman007]

Here's one that didn't get away. Probably the first I can say had Grail status.

SHMB 1/300 doesn't she have the sweetest swedge. Nice warm micarta. Man if you have never held one of these you have never truly held a knife. No offense to anyone, but if you have held one you will know what I mean.

 

[Demonic1]

The zero edge ghetto satin B14 that hasn't been announced yet.
