Good wood handle knife that is classy as a gift

Civivi Chevalier. I like it but don't use it often. Too pretty.

Did the OP specify a folder anywhere?

If not, how about one of these beautiful Joker knives with curly birch handles? They comes with beautiful leather sheaths also. They look and perform like a million bucks without breaking the bank. Made the old school way in Spain. I’ve given Jokers as gifts before and everyone is always thrilled

I recently made a friend who once I got to talking about his watch and my knives, he mentioned he switches it out every day, was like, I do the same with my knives!

Anyways he offered a watch to me at some point, asked me what I like and I referred to the classic look, elegant and such because I am currently rocking just a G-shok

I offered him a knife, asked what he likes, and wood handles + elegance/timelessness/classic vibe to it. I do not want to give some crazy super steel, but a good and beautiful starter knife.

My mind keeps drifting to the Opinel in Walnut, the 6 or the 8, probably. Lionsteel Gitano also passed my mind, but was afraid the strong slipjoint spring would be a hassle. Anyone got any additional ideas to consider? Thanks

Again, seeking a relatively easy to sharpen steel, wood handles and a classic, elegant look.

Oh and I intend to throw in a SAK, just like a Classic or something.

Good point. I think a edc of some sort with a pocket carry sheath would be a good idea. A new knife person may be too uncomfortable with belt carry
 
Buck 055 or 112 is the first thing that comes to mind for me. The Spyderco Chaparral with birdseye maple is a fine suggestion, though quite a bit more expensive.

Buck makes a good knife. I've owned dozens of them, different models, over the years. But the single blade patterns suffer from several things; first, they have been copied by everyone from Spain, to Japan, to Pakistan, and everybody knows this. So the perception is the knife you have is a cheap POS, because Joe Public isn't going to be able to tell the difference. Second, they were very popular with the leather and Harley crowd, which isn't anybody's idea of class. (I can't see one without the soundtrack for YMCA running through my head.) Use them if you got them, but if you're going to actually go "custom" get a Lanny's Clip from a reputable maker (there are plenty on this forum) and crawl out of the 1970's.

Chicks dig chaps. You should try.
 
Lots of good choices offered, one I will put forward is the Buck Squire, its wood handled, nickel silver and for non knife folks, not as intimidating as the 110.

Here is a small wood Laguiole as an example. Wife bought this one for me at a local store, came in a very nice leather sheath:

Here is a custom one that I had made

(go to the website for Couteau Laguiole Actiforge and you can pick steel, handle material, etc.; takes ca. two weeks to be delivered)

BTW, is automatic an option ?

If yes, google Bill DeShivs, he's a member here, BTW.
