Are there any classy gentleman style Spyderco's suitable for EDC?

I work in a computer lab/office setting but wear jeans daily. I carry the Nishijin ZDP-189 Dragonfly daily. Small enough to not cause alarm, large enough to do whatever I need it to do. Very attractive scales, and a great blade. If you can find one, I highly recommend it.

I wish Spyderco would bring the Chaparral out in that blue weave carbon fiber. I would buy 2 !

I'm with you on that one too. The blue stepped titanium is good looking, but waaaay too pricey for the same knife simply with a little milled titanium. I think a red or blue weaved CF would be a great option on any of the cf knives to set them apart. I'd also like to see more resin slabbed cf rather than just g10 onlay.

Options are always a good thing. I think it's been well proven that there are plenty of good looking Spydies for "gentleman's/lady's" carry. A little peruse of the semi-annual Spyder catalog is always fun too.
 
The Kopa line is full of classy knives, unfortunately you have to buy them on the secondary market. I think for currently produced knives, the best Spydercos to use as gentlemen folders are the Chaparral (if you have $200-300 to spend) and the Dragonfly in stainless steel if you're on a budget.
 
My dress carry is a Caly 3.5 CF in ZDP189 (laminated). It is very unobtrusive for it's size; the 3.0 would be even more so.
