[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2941699, member: 109917"] I would suggest you take everything that has been suggested and then study each of the recipients. If they carry a knife daily and you are close enough to to observe how they use it, you can better tailor the gift to exactly how they use or need it. I carry a MKC Fieldcraft EDC, it's a little back up for those moments when you need a quick deploy knife that may save your life. I also carry a Trapper folder for those daily chores of slicing my apple, jerky or cutting a cord/zip tie at work or around the farm. My favorite and the one that holds the edge the longest is a 30+ yr old Hen and Rooster with stag scales, 2nd favorite is a old Case Trapper with Bois D'arc scales. Every man uses a knife differently, we make concessions when we choose one, because, like rifle calibers, they are a personal choice and there is no perfect caliber or knife for any two men. I just don't want to see you spend money on a knife they deem to pretty to carry or not useful for their purposes. I have full custom knives, custom "production" knives and everyday production knives, each fills a different need. If they don't carry the knife you choose would it upset you or leave you doubtful about the choice. I know that Christmas is fast approaching, but the gift will be more meaningful to them if they see the effort and thought behind it versus the choice. The old cliché line, "it's the thought that counts" is the actual gift that most people overlook. Good luck, you have your work cutout for you. Just a few of the different choices I have made. Some I carry/did carry daily, others stay with my hunting gear.
