I'm looking for a switchblade or fixed blade to give as a gift, but I'd like sum ideas first. Help?

whatever you buy depends on whether he is going to carry it at all times or he is going to display it. if he is going to carry it it should be no longer than 4 inches long,cause of concealed weapon laws. a good website for either situation is "the budk catalog" and they are very reasonably priced.
