Father’s Day 2023 Gift Guide
By Desiree Weeks
Father’s Day is coming up June 18 and we are sure to have something that your dad doesn’t already own. Trust us when we say he’ll appreciate these gifts more than a tie or pair of socks.
For the Outdoorsman
If your dad is the type who is always planning his next hunting trip, here are a couple of gift ideas that he might enjoy.
Hibben Legacy Skinning Knife
The Hibben Legacy Skinning Knife is a practical gift choice. It’s a high quality knife that can outperform any skinner on the market. It features a 3 1/2" 5Cr15 stainless steel blade with finger ring and thumb jimping, allowing for complete control no matter the weather conditions. The handsome black pakkawood handle scales are secured with heavy-duty stainless steel pins. Carry this 8” knife in its included black leather belt sheath.
Timber Wolf King Stag Antler Crown Knife
The slightly less practical choice but a piece that is quite the looker is the Timber Wolf King Stag Antler Crown Knife. While it is certainly a piece that can be used, it also makes for a unique display piece. It boasts a massive 3” wide, 3/8” thick stainless steel blade with 15” edge with a modified clip point. The handle is made of genuine bone and is accented by a stag antler crown pommel and solid brass handguard.
For the Everyday Dad
Maybe your dad is more of your average guy that just needs a solid pocketknife to get him through life. Here are a few that can meet his needs.
Timber Wolf Gentleman’s Lockback Pocket Knife
A stunning gift that can also be a practical carry is the Timber Wolf Gentleman’s Lockback Pocket Knife. The custom handle has wooden inlays and nickel silver bolsters with intricate scroll design. The blade is razor-sharp stainless steel, measuring 3 1/4".
Christian Pocket Knife
For the man of faith that also needs a solid everyday pocket knife, the Christian Pocket Knife is a great fit. It has two stainless steel blades, on etched with John 3:16 and the other with the word “Salvation” and an image of Jesus carrying the cross. The handle has a nickel silver cross inlaid into the black buffalo horn scales. This knife is 4” closed, making it an easy one to carry.
For the History Buff
Was the History Channel the background noise of your childhood? Here are some choices that your history obsessed dad will love.
US Model 1860 Light Calvary War Replica Sword
Your dad is sure to love this replica sword patterned after the US Model 1860 Light Calvary Saber issued prior to the Civil War and used into the Plains Indian Wars of the 1870s and 1880s. The attention to detail in this replica is apparent with its 35” high carbon steel blade and leather wrapped handle.
Legends in Steel Viking Seax Sword
The perfect sword for those into historic weapons or those who just enjoy shows about Vikings is the Legends in Steel Viking Seax Sword. This high-quality reproduction piece is forged of one solid piece of 1095 carbon steel with genuine leather wrapping on the handle. Etchings along the 23” blade and a traditional Viking design pommel add to the overall feel of the sword.
For the Collector
We won’t be calling anyone’s dad a “nerd,” but rather a “film and literature aficionado.” Here are just a couple of pieces from our wide variety of film replicas.
Lord of the Rings Helm of King Theoden
Make your dad the proud owner of the finest helm in Rohan when you buy him the authentic Lord of the Rings Helm of King Theoden Replica. The helm itself is crafted of reinforced polyresin and has the look of real polished steel and brass. No detail has been missed in this replica, with the surface showcasing sun and horse motifs. The included polystone and wood display is sculpted in the shape of Theoden’s neck and shoulder armor, making for a perfect display. Each helm is also individually serialized and includes a certificate of authenticity.
Dune Crysknife of Paul Atreides
If your dad read the book Dune years ago, loved the latest film, and is waiting patiently for the next, here’s the right gift for him. While we weren’t able to track down any sandworm teeth, the Dune Crysknife of Paul Atreides is an exact reproduction of the one used in the film and is crafted of polyresin with precise detailing. Display it using the polystone wall display sculpted in the form of the hawk sigil of the House Atreides.
