Knife for a firefighter

[Thrill]

I have a good friend that's a firefighter and I was thinking about giving him a knife for Christmas. I'm looking for recommendations in the $25-50 dollar range. I would love to give him an XM-18 and tell him Rick's story, but I didn't win the Powerball last night! So, any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Seems fairly obvious, but IMO a Gerber Hinderer Rescue would be a good point of departure.

There is a decent selection here:

You can sort the products by PRICE.

Good luck,

I would look at something where the tang runs through and out the end of the handle so it can be used to break glass and hammer stuff.

Check out these 2 (cheaper on ebay, by the way):

This new FKMD seems ideal, being a fixed blade, with a tip suitable for prying, but I don't know how much it will cost:
