Can you please recommend a pocket knife I can gift to my 17-year-old son? (lemmy.world)

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!

Is he carrying them around and using them or are they more for collection/display?

For general use I like having a multitool, often having a bit more than just the knife comes in handy. I normally carry a Leatherman Wave+ and consider it a pretty good tool to have, but I suspect that might be a bit over your budget even with exchange rates taken into account. Something like the Leatherman Skeletool might be worth considering though.

That's a great question - he does both. He tends to leave more ornamental ones in his collection and carry the more practical ones. I know he use to carry a butterfly knife (just not to school), but I am not sure what he is carrying right now.

The Skeletool is my daily carry for the last decade. I love that thing.
