For something like this, I would ask him about it first, or at least make sure the knife can be returned or exchanged. Or take him with you to the store so he can try out the feel of it. Possibly the most important element of a knife is the handle. It doesn't matter how good the steel is or how sharp it is if the knife just isn't comfortable to hold in your hand and you don't want to just it as a result.
