All Wrapped Up

The best presents are

the ones you'll use and

savor forever. From

a camera worthy of

Avedon to a jacket worn

by Steve McQueen, the

gifts we've selected this

year have a masculine,

heirloom appeal—

because sometimes

timeless is more

IN THE BAG

GET YOUR FIX

YOU'LL NEVER LOSE THIS ONE

BIG IN JAPAN

• The Suisin Special Inox Gyutou from kitchenware store Korin marries Japanese knife-making traditions with classic German design. Not only is the handle vivid orange, but it can be converted to left-handed by Korin's resident knife master. korin.com $213

GOD SAVE MCQUEEN

BOURBON APPETIT

• Unlike most other bourbons you'll meet in a bar, Pappy Van Winkle whiskey is old enough to buy a drink for itself. Aged in charred white oak for up to 23 years, this hard-to-find spirit has been distilled in Kentucky since 1893. oldrip vanwinkle.com $250

EGG HEAD

• Made of highly insu­lating glazed ceramic, the Big Green Egg can smoke meat, bake piz­zas and, yes, grill a steak. Its devoted fans call themselves Eggheads. * The price of admission to the cult is a bit steer but culinary supremacy is worth every penny. biggreenegg.com

LEGION OF ZOOM

GUITAR HERO

• If you're going to have just one acoustic guitar in your arsenal, the Gibson Blues King is the one. This modern update of the leg­endary Gibson L series (Robert Johnson was a fan) is scaled down for com­fort and dressed up with a sun­burst finish. gibson.com $2,960
