My nephew left for basic training a week ago and I would like to engrave a knife for his graduation. I need suggestions on a knife, I like Kershaw but I hear they are a nightmare to cut. So all you knife guys/gals please give me some knife options.

Thank you

Spyderco for a big area to engrave on or maybe a nice Case pocket folder as a lifetime piece...I love Case's quality...

The Al Mar knives are great inexpensive knives. Plus the blade comes factory razor sharp. Never seen a knife out of the box from a production knife that has the kind of quality edge as these.

Kershaw has a lifetime grantee on sharpening-you pay shipping one way but There a several ell known custom knife makers in AZ. You might look them up. Do search knife maker Arizona you will find lots of hits including D'Holder- Fred

In Park Arizona, Steve Hostetler makes beautiful knives reasonably priced and have big bolsters made of 416 SS. Very engravable and very man-size.

Spyderco are great to engrave, I love them. Al Mar are also good but lots of people find the blade shape a bit on the aggressive side. Some of the Böker knives are very nice and don't cost the earth.
