Just curious, what is the advantage to having the blade angled like that? Comfort, or more than that?
Also, I just pulled the trigger and bought the Spyderco Sage Titanium and I'd like to know what /r/knives thinks of it. I've tried to do as much research as I could, and the Sage seems to be a good choice. Can't wait to get it next week!
Some suggestions:
ZT 0770cf ($131 on Amazon) - thin and light, my favorite ZT for actual carry
Spyderco Sage 2 ($148 on Amazon) - great fit and finish, full ti frame lock with great ergos if you're into finger choils
Benchmade 710 ($153 on Amazon) one of my all time favorite Benchmade knives, a big knife with an axis lock that carries very well for its size
Spyderco Caly 3.5 CF/ZDP-189 ($153 on Amazon) - one of the better-carrying large Spyderco knives I've used
Spyderco Gayle Bradley CF - big hunk of CPM-M4, and a great choice if you don't mind the size and weight of the thing
I would buy a spyderco sage 2

Use that money for other cool shit!
IMO There's a cutoff point on the imaginary graph of price vs reward for knives
I own a Sebenza, and it definitely falls into the BIFL category, but so do a lot of other less expensive knives. Think of weak points that could break. Benchmades are great (I have two and like them both) but those little omega springs that the lock depends on are pretty frail looking.
I would get a framelock folder with solid metallic scales (most likely titanium, given what's out there) that has a stainless steel blade that is fairly robust. The Bradley Alias fits that bill, and so does the Spyderco Sage 2 although it has a pretty small blade. The A.G. Russell Acies is also good, but it's getting up there in price again.
With all that being said, you don't necessary NEED a titanium framelock, there is just less stuff on them that can break (like, say G10 scales over stainless liners). There are lots of high quality knives available that are not titanium framelocks.

Is that not Spyderco?
This is the cheapest ti-frame lock I've found HK Conspiracy. They call it a mono-lock, but it sure looks like a frame lock to me. Here's a video review Honestly, I've never seen it or used it and can't attest to it's quality or the steel quality.
Next cheapest for a full titanium knife with frame lock that I've found is the Spyderco Sage 2 That's closer to $150, but it might be worth pinching some pennies and waiting to get that. You get Spyderco Taichung fit and finish, a tried and true form factor with the Sage series and S30V steel.
I'm going to recommend a folder just b/c he'll probably carry it more than a fixed blade. If he's going to use it for cleaning game, I would recommend something with pillar construction (two slabs for the handle, spacers in between) so that he can easily rinse out the mess. If you want a quality knife, it should have quality steel and quality handle materials. G10 is great, Titanium is great, and Bone is really expensive with those prerequisites. With that in mind, I offer spyerco sage 1, spyderco sage 2, spyderco paramilitary 2, DPX HEST, zero tolerance 0200, and the spyderco military. The military is slightly over budget but it's pretty sexy.
