that is the same thing my wife says to me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> You should buy your dad a blade (RMD or HRLM) take him camping, let him play with it, have fun and maybe he will come around <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
SB, I gave my dad a new folder for his birthday a couple of years ago. He thought it was a joke.
A year later he started getting into backpacking with me and we have really enjoyed the time spent together.
Last week I gave him a new fixed blade for his birthday.
He was thrilled.

Amazing what a little time and patience can do!
