Thank you TS for your input also. I couldn't ask for two better resources.
CHAMPION®: Features Large knife blade, Small pen blade, Corkscrew, Can opener, Medium screwdriver, Bottle opener, Large screwdriver, Wire stripper, Reamer, Phillips screwdriver, Scissors, Magnifying glass, Wood/rope saw, Fish scaler, Fish hook disgorger, Inch/metric rule, Nail file, Metal file, Wire Crimper, Key ring, Tweezers, Toothpick, Wood chisel, Pliers, Fine screwdriver, Metal saw blade.
Even I could use a knife like that! Can you carry the Victorinox Swiss Champion at work? Or the large Sebenza? Is Chris Reeves the benchmark for knives? Or William Harsey?
Maybe I should just get him a baseball cap instead 
By the way TR... is this what you are lusting after?

Champ is good, but is generally eclipsed by the Multi tools. I like the Wave, and rarely use my Champ any more.
Yes, you can carry one to work, but I have my Wave in a pouch (made by Razor), and the Sebenza in my pocket.
Chirs makes a super folder in the Sebenza, but at $350 a pop, not too many are going to the woods. That is what I have the Benchmades for. Bill designs a lot of knives, mainly for Gerber, and makes a few himself. I prefer the originals that he makes, especially if I can get him to make it from S30V.
I would get him a Wave at less than $80 or so, engraved with the class number and date, maybe with a striking rod attached or a DMT folding sharpener, and a good light like the Photon or Surefire L1/L2 if you want to spend any more.
Just my .02, HTH.
