The Moki Serapis is the classiest knife in my collection.

For traditional slippies, you can't be Alsdorf, Davison, or Menefee. For locking knives, Burger makes a fine folder called the LEXK. I also like Keith Ouye for a classy locking folder. Darrel Ralph is classy in his own right, but his knives are not what I would place in the realm of gentleman-like, which is what I gathered the OP was asking about.

Also forgot to add Pena and Wiseman (also on these forums like Alsdorf, Davison, and Menefee) to the list of traditionals.

SAR knives custom titanium Slug Dashi, with a jigged bone handle. One of a kind.

Oooh, Dagon reminded me in clip 76 of these Chaperon Opinels, like this one:

Dark wood on stainless steel, gray blade? That's a beauty.

Or what about one in horn?

Or rosewood?

I've got a carbon No.8 and a stainless No.6 and once you get those locks to turn smoothly and the knives to swing in and out quickly, they are fantastic. I mean, that Chaperone... holy smokes!
