Wedding present knife

Thanks, and you are correct. However, I’m buying it as a wedding present and want something memorable, more than just a knife if that makes sense. Think I found the right one, will post pics when it arrives.

I would not get something as a wedding gift just because it is expensive. Utility should figure in the gift selection, and all new couples need a knife block with a set of good knives in it for their new kitchen, in my personal opinion. You could attach a note telling them who gave them such a great gift.

I’ve always heard of giving a coin with a knife for the same reason. ones not going to try to cut the coin or the friendship with it.

You give a coin with the knife, so the recipient can hand it right back. (Incase they don’t have a coin). To prevent the knife from severing the friendship.
 
While larger knives get more attention I find a 5" Petty and 6" Gyoto are my "go to" knives for most common stuff. The Shun knives are excellent, and there are some very nice customs knives available on this website. I have kitchen knives from Haburn, Loukides, and Patton I've bought off BF and they have served me well.
 
I would prefer to receive a custom like many have mentioned before but Im a knife guy. I would consider a full set.

If your buddy is a knife person then for all means go custom but I have gifted nice knives to non knife people (mainly family) before and they end up in a drawer, rusty, bent, chipped etc. Just something to think about.

You sir are correct, in a general sense. However, I have known this feller since we were both knee high to a grasshopper. He is an excellent cook and definitely has the bases covered. It’s his second marriage, and I wanted to gift them something nice.

It depends on whether he's marrying a serial knife abuser, like my wife (50+ years :rolleyes: ).

Crap. Sorry Ed. I am seriously impressed with the length of your marriage. How have you not taken her over your knee and paddled her for her insubordination (ala Mclintock!). 🤔😅🤣
 
Ahhhh, you’ve decided and are waiting for delivery! Then I’ll wait to see pics! Congrats on the long friendship and my best to the newlyweds.
 
I always heard if you give a blade to a person, it's telling that person you trust them with your life - since you have handed them the means to take it.

Also bear in mind that knife people take care of nice knives. Non-knife people - such as my knife-loving wife - leave kitchen knives in the sink for undetermined periods of time.
They also can't figure out what the small bottle of mineral oil is for either - the stuff that you wipe down the cutting board with - you know, that wood thing that sleeps next to the knife in the sink....:rolleyes:

This theory makes more sense. The top one, thanks Hal. I’ve chewed out several women that didn’t know how to take proper care of a knife. Then, I ended up making dinner. 😁😬
