    I will never understand why everyone feels the need to demand "NO THE MEDUSA IS NOT A GRAIL FUCK YOU AUEHDIAOFKR0RK" whenever someone even mentions its really good. When did the word grail become anything other than someone's PERSONAL and SUBJECTIVE knife that they really want above all else?

      There is a difference between saying the knife is a grail for you but when you post it and say it's a grail knife or people selling it saying grail knife are clowns the thing has qc issues and it's not midtech it's not a grail knife

    I disagree. That knife looks fantastic. Premium materials, bad azz flipper, it's a grail. A grail doesn't have to cost 1200 dollars.

    • @MeshuggahDave.
      @MeshuggahDave. Рік тому

      a grail is whatever you personally desire. it usually does cost a lot of money though.
      There is the new age definition of grail and the old age definition.
      New age says a grail is any knife that possesses the premium characteristics that would satisfy a pro flipper or any player who has a need for quality construction.
      The old age definition is similar, but the knives used to be incredibly rare as well as extremely taboo. When I first held a butterfly knife, i held a benchmade 4x model that I had no idea the value of. that was in the late 90's. Back then a grail was the knife you had to go hunting for a long time to get. I couldnt even tell you some of the older models that still are very much grails to a lot of people.
      Long story short, a grail does tend to be costly as that is one of the primary reasons that the knife becomes a "grail". if it is inexpensive, the reality is that it cannot be a grail unless you yourself are unaware of the poor characteristics of the knife.
      If it didnt have poor characteristics, it would be more expensive.
      With that said, now a days people are less interested in what others think and so if you see a knife that really makes you want it, even if it is some CCC sandwich 440, you can call it a grail or whatever you want.
      Its just that when you sit and talk to someone else who likes to swoon over blades, you may not get the response that you would like when mentioning your so called "grail", particularly because they wont see the value if they dont share your aesthetic appreciation of it...
      two cats sitting there and one says,
      "how about that BM42, huh?"
      the other is almost universally obliged to respond,
      "Yeah man, far out."
