Hey BF, first off I apologize if this kind of thread has been created before but I can't find anything recent that's really relevant.
My Dad turns 60 next month and I'd really like to get him a decent folder that can replace the junky old Gerber in his pocket. He's never had a good quality pocket knife and he's recently taken notice of some of my better knives. Here are the parameters I'm looking at:
Ideally, I'm looking for something kind of gentlemanly but usable (not so fancy that he won't pocket it). Thanks for the suggestions!

- Around $150
- No Spyderco- he thinks the hole is goofy
- Around 3" blade
- No assisted open
- Should have a pocket clip but he mostly keeps his knife in his watch pocket
- Plain edge
- No blade coating
- Locking blade
- No Buck 110
- G10, aluminum, or nicer scales (no FRN, etc.)
