Gents Knife

[Archer]

I am looking for a small lightweight folder that some might call a gentlemans knife for carry with suits and other "dressy" occasions. Something along the lines of Benchmade 330 by Mel Pardue. Please help me pick my next purchase!

Depending on how much money, you're gonna spend, these are my suggestions for what they're worth

Under $50 (CRKT wins hands down!):
- CRKT small 3" Mirage (several models)
- CKRT small 3" Point Guard
- CRKT Urban Shark (small or large)

$50-$100:
- CRKT 2.3" Mirage Ittanium
- Sypderco Calypso Jr
- Spyderco Native

$100-$200:
- BM850 Mel Pardue

$200+:
- William Henry T10 Lancet

Loads of cash:
- CRK Umfaan or small Sebenza


Have both the BM330 and BM856 and aren't too impressed with either. The ultimate gent's folder for me would be the WH Lancet or CRK Umfaan.

Thanks for the reply Griffon and that is a beautiful looking knife. Where can I see about getting one?

All a matter taste I suspect, but the Case peach seed bone Russlock really speaks to me as a country gentleman's knife.

for something different but classy check out
the Shockwave in carbon-fiber from Gigand. beautiful knife.

Thanks for everyones replys!!!!! Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it I found the BladeForums special edition Sifu and thus won't be able to afford and "gents knife" for a while.
