Best non slip joint gentleman knife

262E1122-1C9F-47B5-9477-0D9B98F66BF7.jpeg Urban trapper petite. Excellent for dress carry and it’s a great knife.
 
I prefer one of these:

With a suit:

A little more casual:

When it's really fancy this goes in my pocket:

In my book....
Cat I (Economy but not very “dressy"): FF/MD Gent.
Cat II (Production but moderately costly): CRK Mnandi.
Cat III (When $$ isn’t an issue): Many of the William Henry offerings.
The Mnandi is a nice mid-range option. It’s not cheap or prohibitively expensive either and it has impeccable quality of design, materials, fit, finish and quality control.
 
I consider anything I have that is 7.5 or smaller to be my gentlemanly knives. So, um, for me, an Alliance Designs EZE.

But are you asking for a knife you would carry in your pocket, or actually clipped to your pants pocket, or in a jacket pocket?
 
Spyderco sprint run Baby Jess Horn in VG-10 with the grey G10 handles.

Sweet little knife. Gets sharp as hell and cuts like a bigger knife, really.

You can clip it to the pocket, but I simply drop it in as it is small enough to do so.

Makes a fantastic money clip.
 
I'd go WH, CRK Mnandi for the clip, Any custom Centofante or Loveless lockback bullet style knife.

For cheaper options the carbon fiber leek is great, AGRussell Barlow, AGR gentlemens ti framelock.

Spyderco Air if you could find one. I regretted selling mine!
 
I am partial to the discontinued Spyderco Kiwi 4. But compared to some listed here.... it is a rather frugal choice.

I honestly carry a SAK to weddings, but it is a slip joint. Believe it or not, it has always gotten used at wedding receptions for something.

The little Fox gentleman's knife works too (it's a liner lock).
