. . .On a different note, I'd like to say knives are excellent gifts for girls. I regularly give knives as presents to women in my life, including my mom. I know positively of several who carry theirs regularly. A good knife is simply to useful to pigeon hole as a masculine or feminine tool. Of course they can also be very personal tools, and it sometimes takes a bit of effort to tailor a knife properly to the recipient.
Every time a woman/girl/female I've known has shown even a slight interest, I've responded with a knife they wanted/expressed an interest in having. One time it was a simple SAK for a girlfriend, this time it was for my young niece. Giving a knife to someone (male or female) who has no interest is a waste of good steel.
