Turning 18 years old - what knife for this right of passage?

So you who know me also know about my grandson Aaron (Winter Shadow) . . . he just started college and will be turning 18 soon . . . so what do you think would be a good knife to gift him for this important right of passage into manhood?  Most of you have experienced this step into manhood, I, clearly, have not, so I do not know what is appropriate.  He already has the basics, a Leatherman Wave, a Buck 110, and a Buck 119.  So throw some suggestions at me.  Hopefully less than $100, or closer to $50.  He likes fixed blades, especially swords, but a folder wouldn't be out of the question.

    Thanks everyone, and Jan, it is in a couple of months.  I like to shop early, I already have most of my Cmas shopping done.  Especially with engraving, it usually takes longer.

    My Tenacious was my first Spyderco purchase, & it's been a solid workhorse ever since.  It's got a good heat treatment & a sturdy build allowing the user to have great confidence in the knife.  That knife will not let him down.
