I posted this on Blade Forums but I wanted to share with the Dogs as well!

A short time ago I was able to score my grail chopper, a Basic 9, from an awesome fellow forum goer.
It was said to be DEAD mint and included all the fixings!!!
I had been watching the tracking on it since it was shipped and checked the updates multiple times EVERY day until today when it ARRIVED!!!
It is in even better condition than I expected. As is the sheath, instruction paper and box.
The larger Basic handle is amazingly comfortable and I can't believe how nice it feels in hand!!!
The Asymmetrical grind is scary sharp and hair jumps off my arm with no effort.
I really can't wait to go out and use it but want to get better pics of it's condition before I use it.
This will be my go to large blade forever after!!
Thank you so much "B" for hooking me up with my grail chopper!!!!!

Without further ado, my grail....

The chief cause of unhappiness and failure is trading what you want most in life for what you want at the moment.
