Glad I found this community. I hope it’s ok to ask for some gift recommendations on here - wanna make my kid smile this Christmas :)
My son is 17, and he really likes knives. So far, he just has a few, and none of them are too nice. I would love to get him one within my budget, which is $150.
What are some quality and cool-looking knives in that range? He loves DnD and fantasy, as well as the color black and red.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and recommend!
Cold Steel has some more fantasy like knives and are good quality. They’re not fantasy themed but they are modern folders with aggressive design elements.
Victorinox Swiss Army Knives are iconic but they are also cheaply made and bulky for daily carry.
Case XX are good quality classic pocket knives that are popular collectors. You’ll never be embarrassed pulling out a case, which might be an issue with fantasy or character themed knives if it’s a long term carry knife. With a little care a case will last decades as a daily carry.
I will second the Benchmade suggestion. Very good knives, nice designs including some more aggressive folders that may offer a more fantasy like look but they’re pricey. You may have trouble finding one under $150.
I may expand my budget if that means getting something he can use for years. I got so many great recs on here, I’m going to spend a couple of days looking through options. Thank you so much for your input!
I carried a vintage Case 3 blade for years growing up and was never embarrassed. Not about that at least.
