Personally something a bit more "timeless" similar to an Opinel or anything else really simple like that would be my go to for a gift like that. As nice as those both are, they're both quite modern looking and I don't know how well they'll age. I'd want to get something that'll still be getting used regularly in 20/30/50 years because it's a classic design.
Disclaimer: I haven't got a fucking clue what I'm talking about, just speaking from a personal aesthetic perspective.
Gerber Pocket Square
and
Gerber Jukebox
...are both really quite nice too and not silly money! I usually associate Gerber with being very utility (either pure workhorses or the sort of knife people who have pictures of assault rifles on their wall are into) but these two are lovely!
