I'd just be happy if the new 93mm Alox with scissors would be sold here in the US so I could buy one. A Pioneer with scissors and a Cadet with scissors would be awesome!

Chamberlain's Wrench - I've only seen two or three and the price is way out of my range
Triplett Wrench - Another semi rare multi type tool that I'll probably never own due to price.
Coleman Pro-Lock - Employee's edition with brass handles and leather sheath - I've only seen one and I failed to pull the trigger.
Plierench Pivot Pliers - No technically a multitool, from the maker of the Plierench - I've only seen two online, both in the hands of collectors.

And another....
Vaco 7 inch  plierench - I've only seen ads.

I try to have obtainable holy grails, so I do not feel poor  :rofl:

for me it is the  Traveller Lite.  I have a real chance of getting one of these one day, if I could quit buying $5-$7 SAKs off ebay long enough to save for it.

Boy, detron, do I know that story!  +1

The only tool that I really want that's out of my reach is a Voyageur (the 84mm 2-layer version).  But probably someday one will come my way and I'll be able to afford it.

I would say the Original Wave is mine.  I've wanted it for a good while, and I've yet to be able to save up the money for a preferably NIB one.  After I get a bit of money saved up, I end up spending it :facepalm:  I don't really have anything else I want to get, but I have considered the Pulse, and have recently been thinking about getting a stayglow scaled Explorer so that I can see what those scales are like.

Nice thread necro Aloha :tu:

I have since obtained the holy grail I posted here, and while not technically NIB, it was barely used, if at all, and much cheaper than I expected to pay.  No Pulse or stayglow Explorer though, but I don't really remember serious interest in either :think:  I can't think of anything at this point that I would consider a holy grail, other than maybe a birth year ('78) Wenger SI.

I have gone back and forth on the Pulse several times, but have yet to end up pulling the trigger on getting one for whatever reason :think:  My experience with the ST200's locks sort of turned me off from the Pulse though I think.  I actually sort of like the locks, but don't like the looks of them and how they interfere with the otherwise sleek features.  Not that I wouldn't give the Pulse a shot should I find one for a decent price ;)

The Large WTF. Brad from Tactical KeyChain created a batch as a Kickstarter award and it's not available. I need an open wrench like that.

Tool Pen mini – good gracious, that's one expensive set of screwdriver when I just need like 4 bits altogether. But if Santa dropped one in my lap I wouldn't resist :D

Leatherman Raptor -- I could stomach the cost of this once but I can't be sure whether it'll be confiscated or not at any travel so it's out. I would pay good money for a TSA compliant folding medical shears but only the shears, those cutters on the Raptor kill it :(

I work from home but fly too much. When I carry things it involves an airplane and the TSA. Makes for different considerations.

....  :think: .... none! :shrug:

I think I've tried every multitool I want to try (out of the ones I know about), have gotten rid of most of them as time went by, and am just picking out the choice users from what's left. There was a time when I really really wanted a mint Gawain, but that fad has passed now  :D

I think the only thing I that would really make me sit up and pay attention, is an old Sheffield made knife with scissors, that's still sound enough to be a user. I have seen one up for grabs locally, but it's late 19th century, and whilst functional is more of a collectors item than a user

I think I'd like to have a near-mint Victorinox Passenger from the early 80s, like my granddad had, until my brother and I lost it for him.  :-\

  :cheers:  They are an awesome minimalist knife. I got one in a bunch of knives a buddy sent me...thought it was an explorer till time to clean it. They come up on the bay every now and then.

I don't think there is a holy grail for me.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

My holy grail has changed a few times. I remember back when it was a Technician. Got one. Then it was a limited run (X/50). Got a handful. Then it was a Sebenza. Got one of those. I don't really have a holy grail at the moment.  :think: Maybe a mint "real" 2223.  >:D
