Can you please recommend a pocket knife I can gift to my 17-year-old son? (lemmy.world)

Glad I found this community. I hope it's ok to ask for some gift recommendations on here - wanna make my kid smile this Christmas :)

My son is 17, and he really likes knives. So far, he just has a few, and none of them are too nice. I would love to get him one within my budget, which is $150.

What are some quality and cool-looking knives in that range? He loves DnD and fantasy, as well as the color black and red.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and recommend!

I don't know if I can explain it since it's not my fascination, but my son's. I think a part of it for him is the fantasy of owning a sword, but then there is also the utility of having a tool on you. Personally, I can appreciate knives, but I could take them or leave them. He's been into them since elementary school. Not sure if that answers you question.
