    Grail Quest Items

    I have recently been fortunate enough to get a light that I have been pining over for years: the Arc6. This, of course, triggered a well-known EDC affliction called upgrade-itis. So I did some research and found a knife that matched the Arc6's performance and cache. But this got me thinking, what is my next "Grail" item now that I have the flashlight I want? I'd love a Hinderer XM-18 but I have a better chance of getting the actual Grail than an XM-18--my EDC budget has been decimated with the soon arrival of my first kid. So I pose the question to the boards: What is your Grail item? What Grail item did you recently acquire?

    Re: Grail Quest Items

    My grail item is a Benchmade 42 Balisong. So expensive and hard to find...

    EDIT: also, I really want an Atwood of some kind with a sharp edge...

    SureFire A2 incan... I really wanted one, and read all the great stuff said about it on CPF, but for the longest time could never seem to stop buying other stuff long enough to have the funds. I've got the A2 now, and for the life of me can't stop carrying/playing with it.

    Not recently but I did get a good MKVII British gas mask bag and a Zippo with custom made clover leaf badges made by Relic Raider.
    Use both on daily basis these days. During winter I usually carry a bigger EDC bag.

    I just picked up a Benchmade griptilian 551. I have wanted one for a long time and it feels good to finally have one.

    My Grail item would be a dual SIM mobile phone.My recently acquired Grail is my first OTF (and only OTF, so far).
