Unless the wife gets involved...
In the watch world, a grail is often either one that you will never be able to afford and hence lust after forever...
...or the one piece that you would sell all of your others for.
I agree with both of those concepts.When I think Grail knife, its not the perfect knife, its just the knife I really want but can't afford or hard to find
Well said, Henry.I have no interest in lusting after the unobtainable. There is no knife I would put myself into financial deprivation in order to obtain. There is no knife so desirable yet scarce that I would pursue it for years.
I like to buy knives that I can afford. I buy knives I can learn something from, or that satisfy my curiosity in some way. I may spend some time and effort to track down a particular knife, but once I have learned what it can tell me, it will sit for the most part, until I have a reason to pick it up.
Some of the knives I will carry for a while, but I am not looking for the perfect EDC. I carry three knives that taken together cost about 40 bucks. There is some duplication of function; I could easily get by with any one of them. Every so often a different knife will work its way into my pocket, either because it is new, or because I haven’t carried it for a while. After a few days, never more than a week, the regulars will be back in my pocket.
Yeah I hate that, because then I end up spending a ton of moneydo you all ever hate it when you just randomly browse... and find something you never knew existed, and went... wow ??
