Thanks to all that responded. Unfortunatly I have decided that I am going to wait until I meet someone in person that I feel deserves it based on what I have described I am looking for in a candidate. Once that person is obviously the one, I am going to turn over my brand new Griptilian to him/her. I feel that a new knife would be more appreciated by a newcomer to "quality knives" vs an old "well used" piece. Sorry this thread was basically a waste of time for some, but I have a different plan for the unknown "giftee"
Peace.
Jeff
