Classy Knives

[3fifty7]

Classy on a budget, it's hard to beat a Case Medium Texas Toothpick.

You can get some dress scales for knives you own or find a more gentlemanly knife both are solid options. Many good things suggested already but I will list the 2 knives I have that fit well to this roll.

Maserin 392/CN Starlight
Lionsteel Stag Roundhead European Barlow

There are some variations on the 2 and both fit in the budget
I would also mention the Kizer Feist as a good option as long as you get one free of the problem they did have.

I would say general rule of thumb I would add for a classy/dressy knife would be natural materials and a minimalist feel to the design. I don't think locking mechanics should matter other than how it effects the aesthetics.

Try MCUSTA.

Which one is that?

He "already has all the tool I can get." He said that in his opening post. He is looking for something "high end classy."

How is that 940 any more "high end classy" than the Spyderco Delica, Spyderco Tenacious, Benchmade Griptilian, and a Kershaw leek he already has?

You have a good point but I can see the osborne being a tad bit more classy.

I'm also going to recommend a traditional slip joint for classy. GEC or Case. Chris Reeve Small Sebenza or Mnandi works, too. The Small 21 can kinda fill a couple roles. Sebenza notwithstanding, I personally don't think knives with thumb studs or holes are (generally) very classy at all, maybe with the exception of some of the Gayle Bradley/Spyderco collabs.

A knife that is less than $130, the lovely Mcusta Tsuchi. Mine was perfect, I heard all are not.
And craaaaazy sharp out of the box.
