A Gentlemans Spyderco....does it exist

[kniferbro]

I was going to say the Bradley Air or the One Eyed Jack. I saw a One Eyed Jack on one of the Spyderco Facebook groups done up in carbon fiber scales. It looked so nice!

 

[blame it on god]

Or the pakkawood delica. That's my going out knife.

My Hanan, Positron and Centofante3 would certainly qualify as a "gentleman's" knife. Even my S90V fluted CF Native 5 could qualify. Each is small, non-tactical and has a nice neutral gray/black scale which does not stand out and could be carried in any suit pants pocket, even a tuxedo's.

Does anyone have any recommendations ?

Some of my picks for "most gentlemanly" will tic off most of your boxes, but they don't come cheap...

 

[5-by-5]

100% agree with 40th Native!

Ultra-lite Native!

Whats the model of the one with the wooden solid handles ?

 

[Kreyzhorse]

The Sage 1 is worth looking at.

That's a Native

Yes Native 5...with custom curly Koa handles...unfortunately the OP won't be able to find that one for general distribution.

Any of the Stainless models are classy. I like the Harpy myself.

Get a Delica or PM3 and add some smooth G10 or micarta scales with no holes and no clip. Done. Want to be more different get the Wharncliff Delica and do it.

Already mentioned but I'll second the Chaparral. In CF or Rafir Noble it's a classy looking knife. Still taller than a traditional folder, of course.

Ti Pingo could work as well. Still available if you look around.

Chaparral

This. Exceptional fit & finish, and so light. Hard to find now, but worth it.

I wore a new black suit for my daughter's wedding and carried my CF M4 PM2, the classiest knife I own. That's my idea of a gentleman's knife.

 

[kingston73]

The pakkawood dragonfly2 maybe.

Or the pakkawood delica. That's my going out knife.

Both of these were my Immediate thought. The pakkawood looks nice and it’s not as expensive or complicated as buying and installing new scales.

 

[Pharmagator]

the "Toad" says class all the way down!

 

[Dudelepowski]

Caly 3 in carbon fiber.

 

[jstrange]

See if you can snag a One Eyed Jack. It's been discontinued, but it's a very, very nice knife.

I was going to suggest the same thing.

 

[Danke42]

I was going to suggest the same thing.

It's more substantial than my Manix 2 XL!

Another vote for the Chaparral even though at 3.6 inches, its closed length is slightly greater than what you specified.

Great, slicy blade. Very nice construction. Comfortable handle even for large hands. Attractive in any scales — I really like the CF/G-10 version.
