Anyone expecting anything specific, for Christmas? Or have already bought sum1else a knife?

I gave a knife away, as a (early) Christmas present (a few weeks ago) and am HOPING there is a Civivi Conspirator (black micarta, stone washed blade) waiting for me to unwrap it (my Christmas is on the 26th)

The knife I gifted was a Cold Steel Recon 1 Folder with the tanto plain edge. I had already installed a Snaggletooth on it before I gave it to them.
 
I think we will get a lot of answers come Christmas evening or the day after. 😀 I have given Swiss army knives as presents in the past, always a good gift, Tinkers and Classics. This year I got a friend who likes to go visit historical sites and trails around them a canvas satchel that also had a good sheath knife in 1084. He likes to write or take notes as he loves history and dabbles in living history, so I figured he can take his gear in it.

If it counts, I bought myself two small fixed blades from the exchange here, they are very handy sizes and I know what I like too. I got one the other is still coming, maybe I should wrap them up and act surprised. 😜 One is a small GLDrew knife in 1095 and the other a small Anza knife.

The question I want to ask is what knife will you have on you Christmas morning to open packages? And open the present that has that new knife you were hoping to get.

I give my wife, dad, and three kids every Christmas and birthday. This years list is:

Benchmade 940 for dad because it’s his favorite knife and the only one he will carry these days. This will be his third one.

Kabar Wrench Knife for our son because he’s a mechanic.

Hogue Auto Launch 9 for the oldest daughter. She likes small knives and doesn’t have any autos yet.

Spyderco ARK for my youngest daughter. All the girls and women in my life have gotten one of these from me through the years My mom, my wife, and oldest daughter have one.

Case Barlow for my wife. This one is a bit sentimental. My wife’s maiden name was Barlow and her dad carried one, he passed a few years ago. I got it engraved for her, one blade has her maiden name on it and the other blade has her married name on it.

The last one is mine and it’s about a week late. Not sure when it will show up. It’s, of course, a little fixed blade, a TKell Piranha.

That’s about it this year.

This is accurate. My usual around the house knife is a Spyderco Chaparral or Dragonfly.

It is bad when you wear pajama or lounge pants that have pockets so you can specifically wear a knife with a clip in the pocket. Lifestyle choices I guess. Working on horizontal carry for the small fixed blades I have.

I have stumbled upon some evidence that I am getting a GB hand hatchet, which will be great for the couple of hiking trips we have coming up. I'm 90% sure I'm getting a Cold Steel 5 Max as well...which will weird if I pair it with the little GB as it has a longer OAL.

For my daughter, I got her a cheap knife-based multi tool. It's kind of a joke between us. I have bought her Leatherman and Victorinox tools in the past. However, at 14 she mostly uses them to open Amazon and makeup accessories. She rarely carries one. However, I always get her a little something. You can never have too many tools in various places of need.
 
A few I made that I know were Christmas presents this year:

Made and sold quite a few more but don't know their intended purpose.

Hoping Santa will bring a Belair and live wire. Need to try some magnacut and nothing would be better at cutting food at extended family dinners than an OTF :D
