Good knife making Christmas gifts?

[Jason Fry]

My family is bugging me for a Christmas list. What are some good Christmas gift type items for the knife maker? Let's keep it interesting by making it under $50, because we can't all have 2 KMG's in our shop.

I always ask for $$$$$$$. I still get those gift card things. So my wife uses the cards and gives me cash. Love those dead presidents.

A set of pilot point cobalt drill bits. Some chainsaw files. Grinder belts. Steel.

Personally, I'd like to have $50.00 worth of Nicholson files.

 

[Steven Penner]

Are there any instructional videos you want?
...or gift card to smartflix
...or Amazon...?
registration to a hammer-in
a specific sharpener
subscription to Blade, KI, TK...

 

[Phil Dwyer]

New or different size(s) maker's mark screens or stamp?

 

[Keith_H]

An electro etching setup would be a good gift, If you do stick tangs a nice file guide would be a nice small gift, It really depends on what you don't have

 

[scottickes]

Some first rate, top quality stabilized burl wood handle scales.

I second the files, i do forging and the nicholson 10 inch mill bastard files are alot faster than the harbor freight grinder i have, leaves less work and with draw filling gives a true flat surface.

Any knifemaking video, book, and sand paper lots and lots of sandpaper.
