What's your most recently acquired grail/special to you Spydie?

[SG89]

My newest grail is this Pink FRN Cricket SE. This is her after her bath lol

And next to her twin brother

[anagarika]

GB1 with Steve Ketchen scales, solid liner, no Taichung logo. :)

Still looking for older Stretch FRN either VG10 or ZDP. Most sellers on BF won't ship international unfortunately.

The nirvana. Waited a long time for that one but it was absolutely worth it.

[Able Dog]

Fluted Ti Military. I always knew it was a great knife, but I didn't realize just how much I'd love it.

It. Is. Just. That. Nice.

EDCF GITD Manix 2, the Nirvana right after that and the Manix 2 XL carbon fiber exclusive around the same time. Chasing Grails is one of my favorite pastimes.

A toss up between Poliwog and Phoenix as i love 'em both (and got both last week)!

[bh49]

Caly3 ZDP-189.
Cannot get enough of this blade

The exposed ball bearings have a warm place in my heart...take me back to the days in the arcade droppin quarters in the pinball machine. :)

Larry, now you need a g10 Poliwog...the "in-hand" difference is remarkable. :spyder:

Nirvana. Fresh pics for this thread; not much else going on Saturday morning before football gets started.

[DutchBlades]

A Kris at last!
Joined by it's Persian brothers in the display right now :)
Certainly not the best picture... But I do like the way the light flows on the bolster.
I'll be sure to make some better pictures soon!

Chasing Grails is one of my favorite pastimes.

Indeed, there is no "one" grail. The only one grail is the next one!



I'd say the most recent "grail" that I've had my eye out for is the Sage 4. Missed out on this one and always regretted not having another phenomenal Taichung backlock like my Chaparral. Here it is pictured with its bolstered friends the Kris and the Schempp Bowie.

[BTG]

Really only Grail I've ever got is the World Trade Center commemorative, still need a Chinook III and a Superblue Dragonfly...the SB D2 was a total brain fart, as I was collecting then and got the rest of the series, Streth to Ladybug....still kicking myself...keep looking, never on the Bay and I don't do BF...Someday...Chinook I'll wait for the next incarnation or sprint.

I don't think i will get a G10 one unless it falls in my lap :) It's a very oddball Spydie IMO and i am glad to have the better looking one (IMO)

[Bladewacked]

PE tuffram civilian, don't see them very often at all. The recent Nirvana, I wouldn't call a grail for me, but a key piece none the less.

[MacLaren]

Mine would be the K2. I really think the K2 will a highly sought out after knife when she's gone.
And when she's gone, she's gone...

[Anubisman]

G10 poliwog obtained at a reasonable price.

I would agree with you that it'll be sought after, but time will tell.

Although there are NIB black micarta wayne goddards on the bay right now, and that knife was disco'd in the late 90s, perhaps before some forum members were born. There's always hope that your (current) "grail" is floating around out there still minty new.

I really wanna try a Tighe Stick sometime.
Ive also let some good ones go to....
Like the Rock Lobster, Dodo both G10 and CF and a Lum Tanto. Cant say I havent had my chances.

[Evil D]

All my "grails" are knives that don't (yet) exist but my latest love affair is my 52100 Military. I'm just as happy with the CQI changes as I am the steel.
