I have to agree with Lynx's first post go with a knife as a gift. I have found a knife covers so many areas and is a perfect gift. It has the cool factor written all over it. Practical as can be cause at some point you always need to cut something. Be it a seat belt because you have come upon a accident and someone needs to be freed from that restraint. To a piece of fruit you just picked up from the market for lunch.
As a soldier my knife never needed to be reloaded and never jammed. It is a multipurpose tool that is only limited by the imagination of the holder of it. So I say for a man a knife is always the perfect gift as it can solve a lot of situations we find ourselves in. So my vote is a knife and it does have the cool factor

I dont know if he can take a knife on the plane lol but the ideas given will be used on the other men in my life
Perhaps walmart will have the credit card multitool.
I'm certain they have larger multitools. They look like pliers with really thick handles, and the blades/screwdrivers/etc are in the handles. That would be useful wherever he's going.

He left about 5 mins ago. Hes not really the Macgyver type like my brothers are so now I got time to order that for them
I ended up getting him a NZ calendar for his mother ( the reason why hes going back home) and a leather bookmark from the bible store. It has the Footprints story impressed on it so even tho hes not a Christian, I hope he will read it and be curious. And a photo of my cats because there was a period where they werent eating and I found out he was feeding them lol so I knew from that hes 1) an animal lover and 2) my cats are going around the street faking that I dont feed them.
But thanks for the ideas and they will come in handy in the coming birthdays and Christmas
Oh and the closest we have to Walmart and Lowes is Kmart and Mitre10 in NZ

a knife isnt something you'd be allowed to take travelling on hand luggage if you want to go through customs/border patrol.
anyway. Although leatherman is apparently a good brand.
One of my brothers collects plane saws. But I dont usually gift collectors items to collectors unless I collect the same kinds of things myself. The thrill of being a collector is to share your collection with other collectors but also to hunt and find things for yourself. If everything is already given to you then theres no thrill of the chase lol

I guess it depends on how bored the TSA officer is on a given day.-

I see he left already but, when my friend leaving for his annual trip, knowing I was going to be moving on from the work group and also that he was planning on retiring soon, I wanted to get him something especially since he got me a souvenir from his last trip. I pictured in my mind a token, a novelty of sorts, of a safe journey farewell-wish, preferably fashioned from gold (for a 'stay gold' sentiment). However, I had little expectation that I would find anything of the sort with such short notice but trusted that if it be possibly the perfect gift for him, God would provide it, so I didn't worry about it. And I'd say I even forgot about it from that point until later that evening when my son came to me after work and held up a gold coin he'd found in the parking lot and asked, "mom, who's Saint Christopher?" and I was struck dumb as I thought to myself, "isn't...that...the patron saint...of travel?!" Well, I told my son about my 'vision' for this gift and was amazed also and agreed it would be a perfect gift, divinely provided. And then, asking my friend, "who is the patron saint of travel?" He didn't hesitate in answering since he happened to have been an altar boy in his youth.

It's probably just as well. seoulsearch travels a lot and she informed me that in some smaller airports they will question and try to confiscate something as small as cuticle scissors. I guess it depends on how bored the TSA officer is on a given day.
