I suppose this could be carried by a gent but as it is, it was a gift for my wife made by Barb Lorchner who has left the world of knifemaking. This was her 4 th knife
again owned by my wife but certainly something an elegant gent could be happy carrying -- Butch and Judy Beaver
The top one is certainly a gents carry done by George Cousino
a stunner by Charlie Bennica
a nice and well done Wharny integral by Billy Mace Imel
from a maker that we don't see much of anymore -- Rob Brown
Lyle Courtice (long time passing) and Warren Hargraves
another of my wife's by Bob Crowder. Sheer elegance!
DF Kressler and Jon Robin integral gents knife -- this is about as elegant as one could wish for
Jose deBraga -- he will be at the CKG show in a month in Toronto
More will come as this thread proceeds.

Time for a bit more "heat"
from the forge of John Etzler
a number of years ago my wife bought this piece from Brian Lyttle and it simply defines a "Gents FB"
so in return I purchased this one for her from Brian but this still would make a fine concealed FB for the finest of gentlemen
at a CKG show Brian offered this as a drawing and my good friend Roger Pinnock was the lucky winner and a few years ago he sold this Brian Lyttle piece to me and again, it is certainly of the gentle manly persuasion
could a Gentleman be happy with this Brian Lyttle knife that he calls the "Scalper"
and this Lyttle piece certainly passes the test of a Gents FB and is like the Scalper, a fully take down done in San Mai
This is another Brian Lyttle which I purchased for my wife but as a Sgian Dubh we know "Gents" carry them in a stocking -- kind of like Xmas
the more one sees of Brian's knives, the more one appreciates the "gentleman and knifemaker that he is"
Mike Franklin created this lovely little pearl handled Gents knife -- a bit of a mate for the DFK posted earlier
keep them coming guys.

Kinda like Kevin's:
Michael Rader integral with Paul Long sheath.
By the way, Kevin, what position does your sheath ride in? Vertical, horizontal? Thanks.
Hello Reede, it carries at about 45 degrees.

Thanks, Kevin. For some reason I have a hard time getting decent pics of that knife. It has such great detail and my representation does it no justice. Having said that, I snapped a few more pics that are better than the last one. Please enjoy.
