i've been lusting for a thorburn, not 100% decided, but if i had to pick now it'd be a L28 with a wooden scale. ehh.... i'll take the front flipper version

If you want a front flipper, you really should look at Trevor Burger.

i have a shamwari on bearings from his recent instagram sale on the say. you like the burger better? i've been hearing from people that the shams on bearings are the best front flippers out there. i may get a chance to compare as i hope to see him at NYCKS
 
For me the last few years it was a GEC #77 clip blade in red sawcut bone until I early reserved a Bocote Lionsteel clip from Mike at CK. Now We have to wait
 
well since I'm not celebrating the Oktoberfest this October I decided to gift myself one of my production grails, that I've been drooling over since March. Two failed grabbing attempts, this third time it won't go away! The Cold Steel Limited Edition Vaquero Voyager,

2000 units worldwide, and hopefully I'll soon be a proud owner of one of them. :rolleyes:
 
I'm on board with defining a "grail knife" as something that requires more than just money to buy. If it's in stock at BladeHQ, then the quest isn't so much getting the knife, as it is getting enough spare cash to buy the knife.

Excluding the knives where I'm just waiting for them to get released (e.g., Olamic Busker, Caswell MKV2, We Escathon), my current grail is a Richard Rogers knife, new from maker. Lots of second hand ones out there, but I want to get one directly from Richard :). I may have to settle for paying a reseller's markup for a new one.
 
I just snagged a ZT 301 from BladeHQ, get them while their hot. Its not a custom or anything but its one that I've always wanted but could never find.
 
Mine is a Marcin Slysz Mouse Gen 2. I still haven’t given in a bought a Spyderco Techno to bridge the gap.
 
I have had this picture saved for quite a while and always wanted to get one similar. This is not expensive by any means, but discontinued and it has been hard to find. I just figured it would fall into my hands if it was meant to be, and it did... I finally have one incoming thanks to the Exchange here!

I just contacted a scale maker to see if he can make me one like the pic I've been drooling over... and then mission accomplished.

Yep - ZT 0560/0561 is classic. Well worth the price if you consider the prices of later ZT models (and they are all reasonable).
