Your Grail Knives! - REC Report S2 E6 

Holy crap that's me LOL cheers guys! I'm carrying an A Purvis Xerx today even though this morning it bit me. All black. My grail these days is a fancy Malibu. Hopefully I'll catch a good one this year.

Riley is correct in the last video. Right front knife and sometimes AirPods, left front is phone and flashlight, right belt loop keys on Carabiner, right rear wallet, left rear handkerchief. Always fun catching the show.

I LOVE YOU BOYS MORE THAN ANY KNIFE EVER CREATED!!!!!!

Alex steingrabers new folder is the ultimate grail knife for me.

Riley’s pocket dump! 🤣🤣🤪 You sure he didn’t miss anything?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Carrying a custom smock! (BUTTON LOCKS)

Another great one in the books!

E/R/E ... Thanks for the report. Lots of great models over the next 2 months. I think the "knife stories" are a great part of the hobby.

My first grail knife was an Emerson Commader and then a microtech LUDT. Currently my grail is a Medford Praetorian slim or a Spartan Pallas.

I landed a grail a few weeks ago. Got a deal on a Norseman I couldn't pass up. Its not in my grail configuration but its amazing to finally have one. Just needs a bit of sharpening I think. I want it RAZOR sharp. My 1st "grail" was a biblio. At that time $200+ for a knife was crazy to me, now I barley blink an eye at 3/400+. Grails are never truly end all be all. You'll want more, Different steels, models, etc. Of course now I am like a lot of others; Koenig. I've passed up on some and it's looking like the regret of the century! But as far as a grail like in the thousands area I'd say a custom Borka for sure. I think a stich is a perfect work blade for what I do but a full custom Borka that would be sweet. Until then, I'll keep maxing out credit cards and pretend I'm not broke!

Got one of my grails yesterday from you guys when I was lucky enough to check new arrivals and see a Hinderer XM-18 Recurve in stock!

Large Sebenza 31 "Night Sky" w/shooting star.

Im right with Evan on my grails. Started with the 940 after watching Ben Peterson talk about it on youtube. Then it became the Norseman after I started watching Nick Shabazz. I’d still like a Grimsmo, but I think a Rasm would be more my speed. I think my ultimate grail now would be a Jason Guthrie scout, something from winterbladeco, or a lockback from Tony Baker. I handled some of Tony at NYCKS in Nashville and was absolutely blown away by how smooth they are.

That’s so funny at the end… like a John Wick scene. Crazy but funny! My current grail knives are the Rick Hinderer Project X, a Shirogorov, and a true USA custom knife. My previous ones that I now own are a Rick Hinderer Jurassic with full milled titanium scales, Chris Reeve Umnumzaan with a Tanto blade (sent mine back to get glass bead blown), and my newest Sharp By Design Mini Tempest.

The bronze Malibu reverse tanto was a grail I got my hands on this Christmas

Riley I’ve got one reserved on the Hinderer site just like you described!!!! And I agreed with Everet as well on the rockstead and have my eyes 👀 on some other ones but I’m a patient man and I can wait for the star’s to align to be able to get them!!!!!

DUDES! I recommend modding your Rask with a 3ft Carpet Drop

Inquiring minds want to know: what unit and what year(s) was Riley's Dad in the service? I've been in 21 years now and the Army has only issued Gerber multi-tools. I owned an OG Supertool, but that purchase predates my initial entry, so maybe I missed out. I'm exclusively a Leatherman guy, so I'm very curious. Also, thanks for turning me on to Zach's Stuff and KnifeJoy.

Carrying a Hoback Goliath and a Benchmade Bugout both with tropical teal G10

Kershaw tilt. Cool design, vanax 75 cutting edge, the only thing I dislike is it’s a composite blade so it goes from vanax to 14c28n

A hidden screw Stan Wilson or one of his Non-Flipper Flippers.

then end of my thumb got shaved off so I've had to stick to flippers recently (thumb is too sore for a thumbstud). With that, i went back to carrying my elementum is the green micarta and s35vn. The only thing I wished it had was a frame lock instead of liner lock so I went ahead and bought the WE elementum. I don't really have "grails" anymore, I look for what I need or want in a knife and pursue that.

My first grail was the slyse Bowie spyderco, but atm the 2 grails I’m chasing are spyderco nirvana and giant mouse ace riv titanium 👌

Always carry more than one blade ! Sometimes a lot more !

My previous grail was a manix 2 in maxamet,now it's a Spartan Harsey folder.

SHIROGOROV F3 NS PURPLE CARBON FIBER HANDLE and a BRIAN BROWN KNIVES Yeager-M. I have a copper camo flipper on the way. And a CHRIS REEVE UMNUMZAAN and a KOENIG KNIVES Arius.

G&G Hawk Deadlock is the best OTF in the market, hands down! Try to seek out a Model B. Prices on those are climbing. They are discontinued.

My grail is a Michael Raymond Estrella or Starlit in jigged Ti My first grail was a Sebenza for sure

The grail I’m chasing is a titanium Magnacut slotted clip point Demko AD20S

I just got my first grismo norseman 2 days ago and I have been wanting one for a very long time. I wanted a norseman before i even knew what the koenig arius was.

Rj martin q36 with timascus hardware for the win!!

I just got my first grail last month. Jake Hoback Sumo. It's even better than I expected. By far the smoothest knife I own. I also just got a Microtech Socom Bravo which is breaking in very smooth as well. Still looking for a Sebenza with wood inlays.

Rask, Arius, Rosevelt, Rockstead, and Pro-Tech Harkins

Love your guys content. Would like to see some knives you are talking about.

Microtech Socom Elite. I’ve got a ultratech, scarab II, stitch, and brachial. Would I go auto or manual not sure. But if I had to chose just one I love anything from Peter Resenti, also like TuffKnives and CKF.

Stoked to hear y’all are now carrying Axial gear! I’ve had my eye on that wharncliffe Shift for a while now. Definitely gonna grab one sooner or later

I feel like a grill knife is the one you’re after that would bring the most satisfaction. Because right now I really want a Malibu or a runt five, however my “grail” for me would be a custom from Pena. My first ever Grail was a Benchmade Vector 496. Got it as a gift from my girlfriend (now wife). Then it was a grimsmo Norseman. Then it was a Zaan (which I acquired). However now, it’s something a bit more personal. I want a Pena custom with Mexican blanket micarta. A dogleg or an Apache. Looks are very important to me, the grail has to be photogenic my favorite knife to photograph right now is my Hoback Radford with Mexican blanket micarta. I’ve noticed that over the last 2 1/2 years my grill knives are no longer centered around price or even looks anymore what drives me to one certain grail knife is the heirloom factor. I have three beautiful children and I expect to have more, and I want to be able to give them some thing that their papa used regularly when I’m gone. And I hope they never think to sell them.

My grail is either a Norseman or a Shiro f95 or a mini arius

I think that my grail knife would be a Vero Synapse. My first grail when I was getting into knives was the PM2

Grail.....Michael Raymond or Scott Cook

My first grail is my grimsmo Norseman. My next grail to get will probably be a Marfione custom.

Not sure I believe in grails or at least I never held one. Packing a Izula-II and a Nomad 3.0. Have a great weekend 🍻

I hope I can find the Alex Steingraber Shark one of these days!

My grail knife is a Scott Cook Lochsa

My grail was the Sebenza 21 and now I have every Sebenza, Inkosi, Umnumzaan and a Mnandi in drop point and tanto, different handle treatments, S35 and S45. I will buy every version in Magnacut when they are produced and I have 3 versions of the Hinderer XM-18 Bowie a Gen 5 and 2 Gen 6. For me, I can spend more but I choose not to and Chris Reeve and Hinderer are grail enough for me!

G&G hawk Mudd auto, and snecx tan super lock folder.

An all black Koenig arius no flipper is def the grail

Today I’m carrying my Hinderer wharnie 3inch bronze!!! I’m hoping I’ll be able to get a bronze scale for it sometime!!!!

I think my go to answer would be the Shirogorov Quantum but it wouldn't be a user.

An Arius is definitely mine!

My grail knife would be a Ontario Rat 1 with Aus 8

Original Bob Loveless New York Special with stag handle

Would love an Emerson CQC-6 or any custom Emerson for that matter

My Grail is my Knife Art Chris Reeve Sebenza L21 with Carbon Fiber in Devon Thomas Ladder Damascus, I told my wife she Better Bury me with that Knife😁😁😁

A Jimmy Lile First Blood knife. Everything else is very literally a distant second.

First Grail was a Hinderer XM-18 3.5 inch got it, then a Microtech Stitch also got it, now it is an AD20 Compact Ti probably wont ever get it :( Carrying the Finch Devils Finger

No such word as guy’ses. Meanwhile Riley totally rocks!

Carrying the MBK XLC

I really like y'all s show. Thanks for doing it but I really wish you would have some of the knives you're talking about with you.

My grail keeps changing but the top two are the Sea Otter and the Arius….

Grail = Rotten Designs Evo 3.0

2 year ago flash back. How have your grail knife tastes changed.

My grail is the Anso Mojo v2

A knife designed by NeevesKnives 🤔

Boker Magnum Rainbow Mermaid 🧜‍♀️

also need some padding in the room to absorb the sound, little bit of echo

I’m trying to get that zaaaaaaan

WHEN I ONLY WANT THIS KNIFE OR VARIATIONS

My grail is probably a Peter Rassenti large Nirvana.

i want PROTECH to make a new folder.. same shit, just TIP DOWN or AMBI at least this time

I don't think I have a grail currently.

OZ Rosie

A custom Laconico

Absolutely absolutely amazing video My grail knive is this one Eklipse-Harpoon Spanto-Containment Series-Stonewash-Stonewash Blue-Translucent G10 Please can you please ask them if it’s possible to get me one Best Regards Rui

Hinderer XM 18

RJ Martin Q36

SHIRO $695 budget option…..🤣😂🤣

Grail knives do the have to be over $600? Do some people left a comment below $$$$$$$$$$

I think most people throw around the term grail too loosely. A grail should be essentially unobtainable, regardless of price/how much money you have. I'm talking Todd Rexfords/Stan Wilsons/Sergey Shirogorov customs. You guys are aiming too low.

Lol not sure that saying that buying from a big retailer isn’t as good as show buying is a take you as REC want to promote 😜😜😜

Grail no longer means what it should. 🤦🏻‍♂️
