Recommendation for Groosmen wedding gift?

i've had 2 SAKs given to me, one is in my tool drawer, i might have used it once

the other i gave to a friend (it was a Wenger)

one of them was from a wedding :)

i like the Native, and i thought of that too, but i think it's a little to utilitarian or something... same with any black handled knives

i like the SS Cricket idea, it looks more elegant... something a non-knife person might actually carry too ;)
 
Congratulations! I was married recently, and I gave out small Himalayan Imports khukris (12"-14") as my gifts to groomsmen and the officiant. I managed to spend around $50-65 for each of them by slowly accumulating them through Deals of the Day sales.

I love 'em, but I think some of them thought I was giving them touristy crap. I had to explain that these were "real" carbon steel knives, meant to take abuse (kind of like a groom) and not just sit around as showpieces (like my lovely bride).

With a khuk in hand, my friends had a concrete thing to remember the wedding- not a SAK that they'd stick in a glove box and forget about (although an engraved SAK is a good idea, regardless).
 
I really like the cricket idea. Its a classly, quality little knife. If you don't like the look of it, you can also check out the SS dragonfly.

SAKs are something that anyone could get, but a cricket is something only informed people would know about. :D
 
I like the sak or cricket idea, but I'll toss these out there as well

CRKT Rollock plain or engraved stainless scales
CRKT Van Hoy Snapfire

lol...Hey Slatts, I see your point. Didn't you know there are plenty of idiots buying Spydies and BMs? Even defensive ones who can't comprehend the obvious.;)
 
Engraved Alox or Cricket sounds good, you could also get flashlights, check out the Fenix P1 or Arc AAA-P

I don't think you could go wrong with a SAK. You could get a very nice, and classy, alox model for that money.

I'd suggest the Soldier or Farmer. Farmer is essentially the same as the Soldier, but includes a very handy (and sharp) woodsaw.

I got SAK farmers for my groomsmen and had thier initials engraved on the side. It makes it a bit more personal. ..Jim
