I can't comment on specific brands, but I suggest that the style should be both attractive and functional, especially designed to be something that Boy Scout troop leaders or other outdoorsmen would find useful. Why don't they research the type of knife and features they think would make the knives most useful first? Then when they know what they're looking for they can compare price, quality and brands. Giving a gift of respect and thanks is a good thing, but too often the gift turns out to be just a token of appreciation when a little extra thought and effort can turn the token of appreciation into a lasting, useful (and used) memory rather than something that ends up in a special drawer somewhere and only remembered when it is happened upon.
