I am looking for suggestions for a folder to be a gift for my dad. He likes different stuff than I do. I am more into interesting steels and ergonomics. He likes more classic design, lots of bling. He got himself a knife from an ad that had lots of shiny brass and something or other engraved on the blade and some shiny wood for the handle and was very disapointed that it did not have a lock and although he loved the bling he won't carry it as he really wanted a lockback for the safety factor.
So I guess to define the need, lockback, "Presentation" level of bling, blade steel really irrelevant (if it gets dull opening mail or whatever minor use he has for It I will sharpen it for him), I was also thinking it might be fun to have something engraved on either the knife or on the case it might come in "To Dad ......" So looking both for suggestions as to a knife but also a shop that can do some sort of presentation box or stamping/engraving on the blade or whatever to personalize the gift.
TIA for everybody's help on this.
Price range goal under $100
