Grail spyderco
Re: Grail spyderco
Maybe not rare (yet), but the Schempp Bowie is about as close as a knife got to a grail for me until now.
... I like weird ...

As far as I know, the Pride Integrity Guts Police and some of the Swiss made Walkers are pretty high value, low availability models.

Not my cup of tea, but rare:
Peter Herbst Titanium (the Spyderco most people forgot about or didn't know existed, most had bad locks and were factory seconds)
Church Mouse (mouse with a Jesus fish on it)
I want:
Terzuola and the Starmate
Lum Tanto (just look at that grind!)

Lamnia restocks Janisongs time and again. I got my copy from them a few years back...

Re: Grail spyderco
I have one, pictured here. But I'd consider the BladeForums blue g10 native that came before this one, more of a grail.

When discussing Spyderco grail knives the C27 Jess Horn often comes up; excellent old-school Seki workmanship and ... no opening hole.

Nice, thanks, Mr. Blonde. Turns out I have the 1st forum knife albeit in its original production form.
Cpm-440v was my first super-steel and I think I was still in grade school!

The holiest grail was a flipper prototype called the Cruciflix. It would always draw blood from the user.

Well, I have a burgundy micarta Jester coming from Japan, but I didn’t know it was a grail until I saw pics of it.

Re: Grail spyderco
I am delighted to have picked up a few Spydercos in the past several months that I consider grails:
Re: Grail spyderco
Beautiful knives, brancron.
I've been thinking more and more about trying to track down a C22. Probably gonna be that or one of the Lum Tantos.
Closest I had to a personal "Spyderco grail" was the Mamba, and I got one a couple weeks ago. Extremely impressive fit and finish.
