So I’m wanting to get something nice for my groomsmen. I’ve seen people get coozies and assorted trinkets, I thought of nice bottles of whiskey or something, but most of my groomsmen don’t drink or don’t drink much. I’m a fan of useful, practical gifts. Something you’ll pull out 20 years later and say “I remember being at one of the best days of HoLeChit’s life and it was awesome”. So I thought, why not a knife? I’ve always thought those Opinel knives are neat, and a really great price point. So I picked one up to use for the past week or two. I’m not sure impressed. It’s plenty sharp, and nice in the hand, but it doesn’t sit in your pocket well and the blade already has a few knicks in it, from simply cutting cardboard. So I thought a little more, and I absolutely love my Case Stockman. Fantastic little knife in your pocket, and it’s pretty to look at too.
So I’ve looked, and while I like the offerings, they’re a little pricey to buy a handful of them without getting some second opinions. Anyone have any thoughts? My stockman has been great, but I want to make sure that I’m not the exception here. I’m also open to other options for sub $70 knives good enough to give to someone you give a crap about. Also, I’m open to suggestions on where to buy whatever knives I land on, I would prefer to shop local, whether it be OKC, or somewhere in Tulsa I can stop by when I go pick up my ring.
