Im interested to see what knives you guys normally give as gifts to friends and family. So far i have given away a tenacious to my moms fiance, a delica and kitchen knife to my mother, and a zt 0350 to my brother who i was trying to introduce to nice knives. Its more fun for me to get them a knife as a present rather than something less useful even if they dont even use knives! :D
 
CRKT M16, Kershaw Leek, and Kershaw Cryo to my brother, Benchmade 53 to a friend, Kershaw Leek and CRKT Turtle to my wife (and a ZT 0301, if you count her stealing it from my collection...).
 
Gave a RAT-1 to a friend of mine and a Case Peanut to my dad for Christmas. I'm intending to give a Spyderco Centofante to a different friend of mine for his birthday. I've forgotten to give him anything for about 2 years so I figure I might as well give him something useful.
 
I like to give aways kershaw blems and imports. Keep the good stuff for myself. I also give away utica/kutmaster slippys, they can be had for a steal on amazon, great gifts.
 
so far I gave away
1. to my son Spyderco 75 mm micarta Persian, Caly3 and SS Caly jr
2. Adventura to a friend
3. SS Native2 and Volpe to another friend
4. Etched Dragonfly and Black MOP micro-Dyad to my nephew
5. C83 Black micarta Persian to a forum member
6. Leatherman micra to coworker
7. Ladybugs to my wife, cousin and friend's daughter.
8. Viele2 to my father-in-law
 
4 bark rivers and 5 spydercos to family over the years (Dad and two brothers)
To friends......skyline, delica, sog seal pup.
 
For my son:

Ontario Rat 1
Custom Jay Wilder necker
Leatherman Rebar


I gifted a Buck 112 to a forum member recently.
 
I gave a CRKT Lake 111 Zytel Folding Knife Satin Plain (7255Z) to a good friend.

Nice little utility folder.
 
I gifted my older brother an M16-01KZ as a work knife, he loves it.
I also gifted my father a Spyderco Cricket for his birthday as a money clip/backup knife that will always be sharp.
I just gifted my best buddy a Boker AK74 Tanto because he needed a new knife to destroy, and he likes the auto knives a lot.
Oh and my tax return just gifted me with a Microtech UTX-70 :D Hurry up UPS! haha
 
All black leek to my brother and a Mini grip to my buddy for a small part of his wedding gift
 
It seems to be pretty common then....

Spydercos have got to look weird to non-knife people.

Gave a Helle Fjording customization to my brother about 9 months ago.

Almost forgot, the bottom one, in the pocket-shaped sheath. Gave it to a friend for his birthday last year. 154CM and G10, heat treated by Texas Knifemakers.
