Weed. Okay maybe the pocket knife is better for a general gift as it is highly practical. I have a Gerber I've used for nigh on 20 years. I miss it when I travel, so I've bought an Opinel and toss it into my checked luggage so I am able to use it on a trip. If I lose it, it was not expensive. Had I lost my Gerber, I would be sad.
Speaking of Gerber pocket knives, I once got one tjat was supposedly inspired by or based on Bear Grylls' own pocket knife for about 5 bucks off some random place. It is still kicking around somewhere. Now I want to go back to my grandma's (I think I left it there) and find it haha, not that I will eved need it.
I use mine daily! It is very useful. I’ve also begun carrying a little pocket flashlight from Olight. It is flatish and clips into my pocket adjacent to the Gerber. I use it all the time too. Back of racks at work and all sorts of opportunities at home too.
Good luck finding the Gerber! Go get it and use it! Say hi to grammy!! ;)
