Do any of you have "dress knives"

I've been known to wear my Kerhsaw Scallion when dressed up. Of course, I'm dressed in a suit nearly every day, and I have carried my Benchmade. I suppose I don't wear my Scallion when I am dressed up, but rather I wear my Scallion when I am not going anywhere near "bad" areas.

I just realized recently that I didn't have any nice "dress" or "gentalmans" knives for when Im trying to look presentable, so I just ordered one of these to hopefully fit the bill. :)

That should work out nicely. I recently got its brother, the Agent's Office knife, it's quite nice. It was hard to decide between the two.
The stag antler is a bit different from what one normally sees, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
The pouch is nicely done, but very stiff. I think for it's purpose something with a bit more "give" would have been preferable...but I'm being picky.

Mcusta makes a number of knives that would seem to fit the "dress" concept.
 
I've got a few that can be called gentlemen's knives. Small 21 Sebenza, William Henry TZ-12, Kershaw Sapphire, Kershaw Whisper, Kershaw Ti/ZDP Leek, Spyderco MOP/Abalone Kopa, Boker Exskelimoor, an Aaron Frederick folder with Desert Ironwood scales, and an RJ Martin Dress Havoc. More often than not I carry the William Henry when I'm getting dressy. It looks nice with its Ti scales, blue ano highlights, blue ano deep carry pockt clip, and Sapphire thumb studs and button lock. It cuts like a champ with its laminated ZDP-189 blade. It has been used quite a few times to cut up my meals at weddings because you usually get nothing more than a butter knife.

I have no real need for a dress knife, but I guess one of my slipjoints could fill the role if it had too. Even for church I still carry the two knives I carry during the week; a large tactical style, and a medium sized slipjoint.:thumbup::)
 
Here's my Saturday night knife.

Minichamp. The ballpoint and scissors come in very handy. Sometimes I carry a Classic in Air Force blue with the Air Force crest on one scale.

Glad you like it! I haven't received mine yet, hoping it will be here soon!

That blade looks very nice as well, I was trying to pick the one that was (hopefully) the more people friendly looking of the two!

I think yours comes with a William Henry sheath? I believe mine will be slightly different? ...have to wait and see how I like it. :)
 
Currently my Sage 1 would be my choice. Wire clip and carbon fiber just looks classy to me.
 
I don't dress fancy too often but when I do, I usually go with my ol' Large Regular Sebbie or Spyderco SS Cricket SE.
 
I tend to press one of the following into "Suit" service- SS Spyderco Dragonfly, Giraffe bone Kopa, Carbon Fiber Kopa, or a Benchmade 530 coupled with a Case/Bose Tribal Spear.
 
I have a few, a William Henry P-10 Lancet, a Ray Cover slipjoint, a Masserin Spirit with ebony scales and a SS Damascus blade, a Western European Sleeveboard in MOP and a few that are EDCs but could easily double as Sunday knives, Northwoods medium Stockman, with Burnt Stag Scales, and the 2009 Queen SM Traditional Forum's Barlow, I'd say I have a few. :D
 
When I hear dress up knife I think MOP. I've carried these WH MOPs on occasion:

Great choice, have been thinking about getting that one for a while, great value it seems, but I never handled it however AG Russell generally puts out great knives.

Enjoy, and post a review

I don't have specific fancy knives. I have knives that I consider too bulky for a suit or slacks and thinner lighter knives. When I am at the office or at a wedding I don't pull out my bigger knife. If I can get away with it I use my keychain SAK or leatherman, I don't like that sort of attention, especially at work
