What are the best gift knives this year? You know, stocking stuffers and etc. that are cheap enough to give everyone?

I just saw that Al Mar has a keyring knife made of D2 and it is around $15. Cold Steel has the Super Edge for about $18.

What else is there?

A SAK Classic is always a good choice (although I prefer the Rambler, which can be a bit more), and Opinel makes all sorts of good options. The No.8 in stainless is a solid choice. Both of those should be under $20.

I got my dad and brother Giant Mouse knives, great EDC for people that aren't big knife people but appreciate a good cutting tool.

My youngest son and son in law are getting SAK Spartans and my middle son is getting a Recruit. Wife and Daughter already have Super Tinkers.

A 2-3 layers SAK or a Delemont SAK with locking blade is always a good gift.

My father will be getting these for Xmas. Both are around $20.

SAK classics are always good stocking stuffers. Everyone appreciates it, and the one from last year is usually either broken or lost.

Cold steel spears and the plastic bats, clubs and walking sticks etc, and cheapo folders like the pocket bushman and kudu

Old hickory

Ka-bar wrench knife is an awesome addition to anyone’s toolbox.

Whats nice about the SAK classics is theres so many patterns out now, you can find one to fit just about anyones likes.

CS Kudu, Finn Bear, Pendleton Lite
Mora 510, 511 and its variants.

A Micra used to be .a good one at $20, a little harder to swallow at $30.

I always think that the knives I have for sale are the ones that are best for gifts.

If you want low priced knives for gifts- There are the Spyderco knives in the Tenacious line and the Byrd line, Kershaw has a lot of good choices including the Skyline, Kabar makes I think several different sizes of the Dozier folder.

Buck 110 and 112 slim select. Inexpensive, usa made with a forever warranty. Several different colors last I checked. Very solid lightweight knives. Last Christmas I gave away a half dozen or more.

Another vote for a SAK Spartan or Recruit.

Pioneer or Cadet if you want to go up class a little bit.

I think a SAK model chosen for the person's needs wins hands down.
My 80 year old mother saw a small SAK I was carrying and asked if she could have it......I gave to her and she kept in her purse.

SAKs and Civivis. Both great values. Or Lightning Otfs for fun.
