Glad I found this community. I hope it's ok to ask for some gift recommendations on here - wanna make my kid smile this Christmas :)

My son is 17, and he really likes knives. So far, he just has a few, and none of them are too nice. I would love to get him one within my budget, which is $150.

What are some quality and cool-looking knives in that range? He loves DnD and fantasy, as well as the color black and red.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and recommend!

Most knives that look like dnd or fantasy knives are kind of cheap trash. No reason not to buy them but a good reason not to use them.

I was wondering about that - he would definitely find an "ordinary-looking" knife cool too, especially if I explain the difference in quality to him.

Spyderco has kind of different looking knives but are still quality. I like the previous recs of Benchmade and Kershaw as well.

Nice! I like some of those for myself, too. What have I started, lol.
