re: One knife from Walmart as gift?
Ok my nephew's coming into town today. Haven't seen him since he was a pimple-faced pre-teen. Now he's 22.
I want to get him a "You're a man now, here's a Knife".
Last minute shopping, in a hurry, i called Walmart.. NO Spyderco's at all! DOH! (was gonna get Native) But they DO have..: -Bucks -Gerbers -CRKT -Leatherman -Winchester -Remington -Kershaw: Vapor, Ace, Storm 2
My area Sucks! Gonna prolly have to rely on Walmart since i need it Today! i go there for dog food, cat food, coffee, that's it. I'm not up on my Walmart Steel..
So I need some ideas guys.. "Good" Knife from Walmart.. what would you buy?? ..thanks in advance <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
-- Update -- I ended up buying my nephew a Leatherman Wave multitool for $68.94 @ Walmart that same day.

I would say a Vapor or an M16.
If I can make it dark, I can make it light.

I always check em out when go there, go and feel them all in your hands and then decide, it will help you decide, cause we all like different things. Think of what he will use them for and how will he store it, pocket, sheath, glove box etc. Good luck.

tony, howz about a spyderco cpms30v native (if they've got 'em) vs. a Kershaw Storm2 ? i believe the Storms have 13c26 steel...i've gifted a Storm(1) and wuz impressed w/ the build quality.....that skateboard tape (they called it traktec? or something) can scrape yer knuckles on the draw though... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
