Spyderco gift ideas

[Kenwins]

Hey all,

I'm looking to buy a spyderco knife for my friend's birthday. He lives in the Yukon and does a fair amount of fishing and hunting. Any recommendations as to what model would best suit these purposes?

Folder or fixed knife? Price range?

Folder or fixed knife? Price range?

I was thinking a folder like the Centofante 3, but the Bill Moran fixed blades look really nice too, so it doesn't really matter too much. My price range is up to $200.

Go with the ever-useful Millie. Or Para.

For fixed blades the Street Beat would be my suggestion and for folders the Chinook 3 looks like it would be good for fishing/hunting needs.

Both Morans are a good choice for his tasks, I use a FB01 over the past years and I'm still happy. The boltaron sheaths have good quality and hold the knife very well.

As folder, also useable for skinning, I recommend Stretch 2 in FRN (you have to be patient, as the FRN isn't released yet and carbon version is pricy), or as said before a Military.

And now my last idea for a nice combination: a Moran and a Tenacious is in your price range ... he would have a fixed and a folder ... just my 0,02 €-cents

This helps me out considerably. Thanks everyone!

Grab an Spyderco Mule in CPM S90V and have Tom Krein, Potterma, or one of the other very capable members here put a handle on it and make a sheath. Just my two cents.

I'd want a thincker blade for hunting purposes than the Centofante 3. I'd get a PE Endura or a Military.

The first cut with this knife was on venison, and it really does a good job!

Hunting fishing you say? Something from the Salt series would be my first recommendation. Next would be the Military.
