Estwing camp axe - long handle.
I gave that axe to my husband and he has left over money to get something else.
We usually buy what we want or need 'year round' not just at Christmas time. This gift was bought close to Christmas time though!

I gave my 12 year old cousin a Spyderco Brad southard. It has been tradition in my family that when a male hits 12 he gets a knife. My grandfather has historically been the one who gives the knife, but he is 94 now and I figured I would carry on the tradition. He was very excited and I don't think he put it down all day.
Thanks for the compliment!
I built a knife for my Father in Law for Christmas.
Mothers have Mothers rings. Fathers have,,, Ties. Well I changed that. I built the Fathers knife. I know he will most likely never use this knife but I built it to be used. it has high quality stainless steel. I didn't build the blade I bought it pretty much finished I had to add the bolster and polish. I built everything else. The Stainless Steel bolster, the Mosaic pins and hand fitted the small pins and handle scales. Now let me explain the build.
He has three children. The three Mosaic (pretty) pins are his children's birthstone color. The first one by the bolster was the hardest. His is a Diamond. I made the center with glitter so in the sunlight it has a sparkle. Problem was when it got hot from working it it changed color. I will have to live with that. The other two are in my opinion pretty.
Now there are 7 grand kids. there are 7 single pins for them. Then there is a cluster of three. Those stand for the 2 daughter in laws, and me the only son in law. His favorite football team used to be the Oakland Raiders I hope they still are
So the handles are black and silver. I took pictures of the the knife at different stages. It has a couple flaws. The wood has a couple small brown spots in it on the right side. Nothing I can do about it. And also on the mosaic red pin. For some reason the brass semi blended and it doesn't have a good line between the pins. It can't be prefect I am not so neither is the knife.

Gave my step-brother in law (He's a freshman in high school) a cheap karambit folder because that's what he wanted. But, I also threw in an old Gerber flipper that I cleaned up so he could get a feel for a useful edc as well. He wanted the karambit because of video games. I told him next year whatever style he likes more, I'll get him a nice one. Well, $50ish nice.
