spyderco poliwog or perhaps the Q series

 

[monsterdog]

I'd pick a Spyderco Kopa or Kiwi.

 

[bh49]

I would go for Kopa Honey jigged bone. still easy to find for around $110-120.
If you want something level up I would get Kopa Turquoise. Absolutely exquisite piece.

I use two knives while wearing dress clothes, a BM 930 kulgera or Spyderco Caly3 CF-ZDP.

 

[babakanoosh45]

I have carried all of these dressed well. The SAK Cadet would even be more dressy if purchased in black alox.

Victorinox Cadet

Buck Mayo Wiamea

Spyderco Dyad

Spyderco CF Cricket

Spyderco Spin

 

[baz4life]

Go for a BM 960 its pretty much a 3 inch blade at 3.16 inchs, really small and compact yet a great knife.

The Caly 3 CF zdp-189 is my pic.

I carry a small sebenza, or a G-10 Caly 3 on most days. But when I want a classy little knife to show off I go with the Caly3 CF zdp.

The polished Carbon Fiber along with the layered zdp blade makes for one spiffy looking knife.

Since at least the Nagara is 3.25", perhaps the now discontinued Kershaw 1993-2 'Gent's Folder', at 3.1" is 'close enough'. It has a VG-10 lockback blade very similar to the Nagara's. Pretty elegant looking, to me, it has aSS pivot pin and brass lanyard tube, pins, and liners. The black Micarta scales are nicely contoured. I took the cheesy plastic belt hook off the black leather sheath and sometimes carry the knife pocketed in same. Sure lock-up and no axial play. Definitely a 'gent's' knife, if you need a Buck 110, carry a Buck 110.

Ira Woods carries it as do others - generally ~$60 - I guess a closout of old stock. A great bargain for a real user - from Seki, Japan.

The Benchmade Shoki and especially the Mcusta Damascus are fine knives. Elegant.

 

[Josh K]

Of that list I'd go for the CF Caly3. Very dressy, discrete wire clip, insanely sharp ZDP-189 blade.

However, for about the same price you can pick up a Sage II. Titanium frame lock with great ergos and F&F. Wire clip rides nicely in any suit and it's a great talking piece.

bump bump with new intentions

Huh? What new intentions?

Of your choices I would go with the Spyderco Micro-dyad black pearl.

Have you looked at any of the classy California switchblades that are on the market?

Or, save your money and buy a William Henry.
