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!

One of the other users here mentioned Case Cutlery, which is located in my hometown. That whole area had been known for sharp blades; there were a bunch of shops from the mid-1800’s making knives and razors. I’m kind of in awe of a bunch of dudes coming from the old country making their way industriously in a new home. One of my own gggrandfathers was a blacksmith from Sweden who apparently made a lot of nails; idk, that’s the story.

The other part is that I use knives every day as a chef. And fire, too. It’s fun. They help me change things to be the way I want them to be.
