Still looking for help with a perfect bone replacement on this knife. I have two of the larger compass if somebody wanted to take a chance on cutting a big hole in a perfect worm grooved bone. Only thing wrong with this knife is some very light spots from being in a box with Case celluloid knives.

Larry, I had to smile at your Grail knife because an original Hells Belle by Bagwell is indeed a Grail knife for me. I have the excellent reproduction by Ontario but of course it's not the same thing.
One of the Grail knives I was fortunate to acquire was a Jerry Fisk Bowie.

Those are both great knives!jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2011 4:25 pm I'm not a collector, just an accumulator, so I don't really have a Holy Grail Knife. I'd had a yen for a Puma White Hunter since the late '50s and finally got one a few years ago so that was one itch scratched.

One of the guys in our hooch in VN had a Randall Mod. 1-7 which gave me the wannas. I could never afford one so I did the next best thing and bought a used Blackjack 1-7.

There are several folders out there that would cross my doorstep if money were no object.

T-dog, I appreciate the "WOW!" I will point out that the handle of the Fisk Bowie is made of African Blackwood which is stronger than ebony.

Your Fisk is gorgeous, Garry.
I'm not one for filework, but on your knife it's outstanding.
Looks real BIG, too!

I think my new grail would be one of those nice older Puma lockbacks.

Marco, my Fisk Bowie is an early work. He has only gotten better with time. I won't bore you with the details but will just point out that he became a major force in the knife industry especially through his teaching around the world. He is in the highest echelon of knife makers.

Thank you for that info, Garry, kindda makes your knife special coming from such a revered maker.

I just posted in the WTB section a ZT-0456TIBLU. I don't know why but this knife speaks to me. Maybe I'll find one someday.

Times have changed and now my grail knife would be a four blade Terrier automobilist’s knife.
Not sure they actually made it, but they made it as a Robeson and the time period of that one would be right for a Terrier.
I don’t have a photo.
