Today is a great day for me. After years of vain search, I finally found my Grail knife: a beautiful new old stock Wenger Skier, no metal saw version!
It has all the desirable unusual features, like hot stamped logo and old style can opener.
The only UNdesirable feature is the price I paid for it, more than double I ever paid for any other knife. But I mean, I just couldn't pass on it, could I?!
Here's a pic, and I'll post hand-on ones once it arrives in the mail! :mail:

:cheers:
And it’s only money, you can always make more. It’s not like they're making that knife anymore though.

When it is a knife you have spent years looking for it is worth paying the extra to get one. You never know if you will find another one. :cheers: :cheers:

. Here's one of my Grail knives, I was looking for it more than 5 years and paid extra price.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180614/6f7744041ff7d553af3abfbf7c95a341.png)

Such a beautiful ugly, almost useless knife... Who can live without one? :tu:
However: It is not about the finding, it's about the searching. :)

I will post more pics once the knife arrives (all the way from Japan, so might take a while).
I got me other uncommon SAKs that I will be hunting for now (Vic ribbed Cadet or a Vic Apprentice), but not as elusive as this one, so it will definetly be a more "relaxed" search. :cheers:
