Reply to Recommendation for BIFL chef's knife? by notproudortired
Just to go a bit out of the norm (since all of the other suggestions are absolutely fantastic and you can't go wrong with them!) But since this is a gift, you can see if there's a local bladesmith to your giftee. Chances are it will look nicer than common knives, and I see many local smiths offering lifetime sharpening / warranties.

I have a metal Jotter and it's been going great for like 3 years so far for me. It's so great!
