I have two Grail knives. They are not anything extreme, just two that I really want.
The first is a Scrapyard, Tan S.O.D..
The other is a Scrapyard, Scrapper Six.
Well I finally found my Scrapper Six!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
The founding knife of Scrapyard Knives and a classic in my opinion. I always liked the looks of it and when a fellow J.Y.D. brought his to show me, the balance and feel are terrific!
details from the Dan the man himself,,
The Scrapper 6 features a 6 1/2" long blade and near full-length tang construction. The end of the tang is less than 1/4" from the butt of the handle. The thicker than 1/4" blade (.275" thick) features a full-height flat ground bevel with a convex edge adding to the strength and cutting power of this abuse loving American made blade. The exclusive, non-hygroscopic Resiprene C handles have been proven in the harshest combat conditions around the globe. With an overall length of 11 1/2" the Scrapper 6 is the perfect sized blade for day campers, combat professionals, and those who choose to venture into the uncharted wilderness.
No detail has been overlooked in the construction and design of the Scrapper 6. These details include all radiused corners at the blade handle juncture, which, although covered by the handle and unseen by the user/abuser, greatly increases the overall strength of the Scrapper 6 at the point where most other knives can fail under extreme conditions. Other details include a radiused "plunge" at the beginning of the blade bevel and a generous sized choil for ease of choking up on the blade. The choil also facilitates ease of re-sharpening along the entire edge without bumping into the plunge of the bevel. The black coating is both non-reflective and protective against the elements.
The Scrapper 6 is built like a tank and is far tougher than most every other blade on the market today.

Now to find my Tan S.O.D., its a sad story why I need this one.
A very lonely father, (Tan Dogfather that is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) has not seen his son in a long time, (Tan Son of Dogfather <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) It breaks my heart to see these two apart. If anyone knows the where abouts of the son please let me know so I can reunite this father and son family!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
