I wish I was very wealthy so I could...

[Elite_KG]

Gift my friends and co-workers a fitting EDC blade that I know they would never purchase for themselves. I bought a Lionsteel Opera for my wife and made custom Box Elder Burl scales for it. I gifted it to her for Christmas. She had mention about a year ago she needed a new knife since the one her brother gave her bit the dust (cheaper German auto). The Boxed elder burl gave it a feminine touch. I actually love the knife since it has a lot of my time an patience in it. (Knife can be seen in the. Lionsteel forum section under my first Lionsteel: posted as a reply) PS- she also got pearl earrings, so this was not a substitute for a gift fitting for a woman.
I also gave my dad a second Case medium stockman. He misplaced the first one I gave him for his birthday. This one was black buffalo scales. He really likes it. I did note he should try to hang in to this one a little longer.
I was very pleased to give these knives to special people who could appreciate them for their function, value and thoughtfulness.
I wish I could do it more...

be careful what you wish for. having tons of money is not always a good thing trust me.
you enjoy life more when you have just enough to get by on and have a little left to enjoy life with.

I think OP just wants more money to be able to give more, which is respectable.

I checked the Lionsteel Forum and You did a Great Job!:thumbup:
It looks like Salmon Box Elder Burl.
I gifted a Fällkniven WM1 fixed knife to one of our girls, with scales in this wood.
The other girl got a WM1 in red&black Box Elder.
The block of wood was enough for two WM1's and I made one for myself.
Red handles on knives for Male's are common here ( Mora knives), so I don't bother a single bit about feminine or masculine looks on my users.

Thanks for the comments, Mikael. Giving more was the underlying point, but cans dig the sexy salt girl with a beer or two! I thought the Lionsteel turned pretty good too. Not too bad for the local cutlery shop scrap burl and g-10.
