Can you please recommend a pocket knife I can gift to my 17-year-old son?

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've been carrying a Civivi for a while now. They seem to be better quality than their price would suggest. They also have some neat options for locking mechanisms, many ambidextrous that don't require you to put your fingers in the line with the blade when closing, and different colors. Take a look at this Knife Center Search for Civivi and red. I'm also partial to Boker in th$100 or so range. For a $150, you could have a decent knife or two, and or a sharpening stone as mentioned by others.

Thank you! So many cool choices... I think regardless of what I end up getting for him, I will put all of these suggestions together and send it to him along with some gift money. Then if he wants, he can buy a second knife for himself.
