All you experts-

I am looking for a small, front pocket knife with real mother of pearl inlays and good quality steel. Number of blades is not an issue, I just want a smaller knife that I can carry comfortably in my front pocket. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
 
Would there be a Case peanut with pearl? Tear drop maybe a little bigger. Sounds like a gentleman’s knife you are looking for, for a go to church meeting.
 
Thanks for the reply, most of the case models are either bone or synthetic...I can't seem to find one in MoP...and yes, we call them grandpa knives where I am from, but I am looking for something I can carry in my sunday best. The mini-bugout I carry for edc is a little aggressive for that crowd.

Slipjoint or locking blade?

Case makes things like that occasionally, though it's not their standard covering. You'd need to try some of the used knife venues.

Moki does MOP inlays on some their knives. Japanese outfit. VERY nicely made. Good steel. Pricey, and hard to find. But they are out there.

Moki mother of pearl.

Older German knives, should be able to find one. Check out a few antique stores, worth a shot. Hopefully not hard to find older ones. Good luck.👍
 
I have seen a Falkniven TK3 that had MOP but only by searching the web, pricey.
 
Any possible contenders yet? Hope it goes well, have fun this weekend and keep up the search.
 
Just checking in on your search. Fun to discover some old knives too when you search. Let us know what you find.
 
Knife shows are a good place to find vintage MOP knives in good shape if you happen to have a show coming up in your area.

The Fightin Rooster brand made a good variety of MOP knives back in the day. I see several nice ones for sale right now on various venues.
 
I found these two, both appear to have real MOP handles. And both are small enough to easily fit in any pocket:

I know there have been multiple Case models released in limited runs with MOP scales, but you will pay out, as they're generally not easy to track down or obtain.
