Good for you, don't wait till they are gone to do nice for em. I sent my brother a Basics nine He is not big on folders....or I would have given him an Umfaan...still might!
 
A friend from Pennsylvania and I had been e-mailing each other for a while about our love of knives. He'd long admired my GenO Denning hunters that I had pictured on my website, so I gave him the black micarta-handled version as a gift. He got so much joy from receiving that knife - far more than I could've gotten by keeping it myself. It was his first custom knife, and he has since bought several more. Always nice to bring more people over to the dark side.

5 years ago my sister gave me a Stanley Fujisaka folder. Gold andonized titanium frame engraved by Bruce Shaw,Ivory scales. One fantastic knife which I never would have been able to afford.

3 years ago, I gave my stepfather a Bailey Bradshaw two blade trapper in ivory and 3V, with his initials engraved into a sterling silver escutcheon. Cost less than Whitewings do today. Suppose it would be in poor taste to ask for it back?

Picked up a few fixed blade hunters produced by Gerber as a limited edition commissioned by Deloro Stellite a few years ago, made of Stellite 6K. I made gifts of them to my brothers and my business partner. They seem happy, and the Stellite 6K has proven to be an excellent blade material. Takes a hair-popping edge and holds it longer than most steel. Fun stuff, all around.
 
I gave my brother-in-law a Ken Onion Custom Baby Boa last year for Christmas.

It's a fine line between "a hobby" and "mental illness".

In 1995 after a sucessful black bear hunt in northern Wisconsin, I let my guide use a Sigman Utility hunter #5 in Carbon steel to gut,clean and skin the bear. He was amazed at the cutting ability of the knife, so I offered him the knife in lieu of a tip. He had no idea of the value of the knife but chose to take the knife. The knife gets so much use that he is actually starting to wear the blade. I just replaced the knife with a Sigman #5 Utiliy Hunter in CPM 440.
