I made my oldest daughter and niece a knife kit each (my LP knife). I profiled and ground the blades out of 1/8" O-1, roughed out some maroon micarta handle slabs, cut some brass pins and some kydex to make a sheath.
I plan on showing them how to finish them this week. We need to drill pin holes, heat treat and polish the blades, drill and attach the handles then shape them, make up the sheaths, then attach a small Tek-Lok to each.
They know about them already, and are really looking forward to them. I also included a brand new pair of work gloves, safety glasses and a dust mask in each kit!
The knives should look something like this when done.

For my weightlifting partner, a 5.5" CRK Green Beret.
For several friends, Vic SAKs of various models.
For my wife, a CRK Mnandi:
The inlay is ebony, which reminds her of our daughter's piano playing . . . and she likes diamonds. I gave it to her early, and she's been EDCing it for 2 weeks.

An older carbon steel Imperal Boy Scout pocket knife from around the 50's for my brother.
A Schrade 34OT USA Middleman for my dad as he has carried one for many years.
A Mora 860 MG carbon for my sisters boyfriend, also got one for myself. I'm very impressed with them, seems so natural in the hand and well thought out blade shape.

I'm giving my Brother In Law a Victorinox Soldier, he's seen me use my blue SE Spydie Dodo and called it "scary", and remarked that he couldn't use one of "those kind of knives" at work....
i figure he *needs* a good solid knife, and who could *possibly* be offended or scared by a SAK, especially one that looks like a "Gent's" folder like the Vic Soldier, classic, understated knife, solidly built to last a lifetime and beyond
nobody else at home needed any more knives, as they've been gifted knives throughout the year, they're all set
and yes, i *did* sharpen Al's Soldier before packaging it back up, it's sharper than new, "Scary-Sharp", shaves arm hair easily, don't worry, i will warn him to be careful, as it's likely the sharpest blade he's handled

NRA 12300 Fecas Gunstock model for the old man. More for novelty than anything else. He likes his knives guns and is an NRA member, so he'll like it.
Leatherman Kick for my son. He's a theater technician and can use it for work.
Both from Ebay and nice bargains.

I'm giving out several Leatherman's. One of my recipients is also recieving a lockblade straight edge, one of those China made Tom Anderson designed itmes. I know it's not the greatest knife, but the recipient had been eyeing that model and intends on using it exculsively for packing and unpacking shipping boxes.
