Pocket knife recommendations?

I've been carrying a swiss army knife myself for several decades, I've always been partial to the ranger model myself but the classic always makes a great present.

I have had several Cold Steel Knives and have really liked them.

I have many Cold Steel products, mostly the early blades they produced. They put out great knives but over the past serval years they have started using the standard mid grade knife building materials. They are not not like they were. It makes me sad. One of my favorite knives is their first Recon model. If you were to hold it and the later model it is two different knives.

If you like Cold Steel check out SOG. They aren't exactly cheap but they make a great product.

If you really want a brute of a knife check out the American made company of TOPS. Again not cheap but solid.

Still not changing from my first choice for him though.

Personally I'm a fan of CRKT knives, they are relatively inexpensive, and for the most part are good quality. I've been carrying an M16-01Z almost daily for nearly a year.

But buy them off Amazon, they are always much cheaper there.

Buck vantage series are amazing knives for the $$$ and all buck knives are made in the USA, if you like to keep the economy spinning. I have a buck vantage select small and a buck paradigm pro and they are amazing and the prices are very reasonable.

I like benchmade knives a lot.

That said, if you've got time to look around, try to find someone who can do custom work, or a small-time knife builder. It's not in your price range, but I've got a knife for field dressing deer and a fillet knife as well from Eagle River Knife Company. The former was a b-day present from my parents and the latter was a groomsman present when my brother got married last May. I like having knives that aren't big-name manufacturers.

He needs them faster than he could could get a custom handmade.

Case is American made and has a lifetime warranty.

I personally prefer Buck knives. I they make quality knives, that also look great. Lets not forget the life-time warranty which is nice too. You can also pick them up from stores such as Scheels, Walmart, Bass Pro, and occasionally Target. I have the Buck 110 which was roughly $40 and comes with a carrying case if you want it, but it isnt required because it is a folding knife too.

Victorinox all the way, by far the most useful thing to carry around on a daily basis. My first blade was a little swiss army knife from my folks, 20+ years later and it's still going strong.

Crkt is an amazing knife I like the mini fixed blade that comes with a neck lanyard it's like a 4 ish inch blad and I have personally taken on camping and cut down small poplar trees and used it with a rock to make kindling. It may be a little out of ur price range tho.
