Christmas Present - Help!!!

[J A Whalen]

I don't know what to get my husband for Christmas. Can anyone give me any suggestions? He is currently making fixed blades and would like to one day make folders. I think he has almost every tool under the sun, any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to get him some kind of "knifemaker stuff" then you maywant to post over on the "shop talk" forum where the makers hang around. Good luck.

Anita,
First off, it is really neat that you are doing this much research to get your husband a present he will like and use It will be hard to make suggestions because it is not known what equipment he already has. Here are a couple of things that might help. If your husband has a mentor, they would have a pretty good idea of what your husband has or needs. If he is primarily self taught, perhaps a gift certificate is in order from a supply company he currently uses. His receipts or well worn catalogs will be good evidence. Finally, It may be best to just ask him what he needs. I know it would ruin the surprise aspect of the gift, but it will ensure that he will have exactly the tool he needs and will use for a very long time.Whatever happens, I hope he thinks of your thoughtfulness every time he picks up the gift you give.

Thank you so much for your responses. I did ask him and he suggested that I post the question on here, so I will try and post the question on "Shop Talk". Thank you so much again.
