Knife for the wife

[pholder]

Whatever she wants.

I’m not sure about that, when ever my wife and I go to a knife shop the first knives she asks to see are William Henry

I gave mine to a pair of stainless Opinel 8, they are light and she likes

Buck 112 slim.

A Spyderco Dragonfly would be a good choice.

Depending on your wife’s skill level - something lockable? So she isn’t torquing the blade and it shuts on her.

I also recommend taking a few minutes to teach her basic knife etiquette, then later when she needs a bandaid you can say “I told you so”

If not lockable - I vote SAK

Opinels are great for the car.

I've only selected knives for not-knife folks a couple times, but my approach has been to show them options and see what they're attracted to.

One result of that approach I didn't see coming was when my retired mother fell in love with a UTX-70. First thing she picked up. I didn't take her for an OTF fan, but she loves it.

If you have a number of knives. Get a selection you think would be useful and let your pick one she likes.........

SAK or Christy.

folding length 4 inch, it is sharp, and size is great, haze blue handle really goes with handbag, though it is stored in the car for the most of the time...

One more vote for a SAK .

Or pick something and put it in a new purse, then give it to her. Hall pass on your next 2 purchases, guaranteed.
