If the friend is Chinese or East Asian, buy a black picture frame with a black and white picture of them already mounted. Or buy them a set of knives. Or give them money in a white envelope.
Could buy a bunch of cheap gas station knives then put sand in the pivots. Ideal loosing them up first then tighting them after. Maybe wash them to remove oils and let them rust some.
That might be over board. Especially if the dude is a knife guy. Not sure if messing up a new $100 knife would be worse though.
