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!

When I was 17 I was all about Spyderco. They're good quality and they have a distinctive look to them that he may like.

Benchmade, Kershaw, and CRKT are all good options in that price range too.

Yeah, I think he might like the look. I might be a teenage boy on the inside cause I low key like them too.

Love Kershaw. Perfect combination of quality and price that makes me want to use them.

Sypderco was where my mind went first too. I wonder if they're as cool now as they were back in the day.
