Let's see your gentleman's folders!

Lately I've been carrying this one.

I bought this one years ago for Sunday carry. It has bone grips and is fairly heavy. I found that in the bottom of my pocket I am sensitive to its weight, more so than if it had a pocket clip, so I don't carry it much.

Didn't yours come with a nylon sheath? I have the exact same one and I've found that if I carry in on the belt in the horizontal position I often even forget it's there.
 
Deathofallthings, Evilgreg,

How do you like the William Henry E10? I was thinking about picking one up for a dress EDC.

The EDC knives are thin, light and as you'd expect from a William Henry they're beautifully constructed. For a knife that has a blade this big to weigh under 1.8oz you'd think it would have to feel flimsy, but they actually feel pretty solid. The E10 is so compact that I ended up preferring it over the E6, to my surprise (even with the ~3.5" blade, the E10 is only ~4.3" long). A thin blade with a high hollow grind makes for outstanding cutting performance as well. To sum it up, I like them a bunch. :)
 
I'm not a gentleman, but I've somehow ended up with a few knives that seem to fit in this thread:

What is this knife? I looked on AG Russel's website and couldn't find anything like it. It's like a mix between a barlow and a back pocket. I dig the yellow delrin with subtle added aesthetics.

P.S. Let me know if you want to sell it or trade.

Wow. May I ask what that knife is? I mean besides gorgeous?

I don't have any pictures right now but in this category I've got the Kershaw Leek and Chive


*edit* Apologies. I didn't notice the Rockstead on the blade due to the glare. I also just noticed the "TEI". Beautiful.

It's been surprisingly hard to find many reviews on it. I appreciate your thoughts. Hopefully I will pick one up new or on the exchange soon.
 
Don't agree with the 3" or smaller. This one is 3 3/8", but what else can it be but a gent's folder? Solo 2.



Delta Z Darrel Ralph Osprey. Also 3 3/8".





Also, even though the Al Mar Eagle Ultralight has a 4" blade, it would be right at home in your favorite steakhouse cutting a New York Strip.

I have a similar knife. It looks like a version of the 4" lock back. Mine is in black Micarta with nickel silver (or stainless) bolsters. It is heavy in the pocket. Check the AG Russell site, since they could have more, perhaps in different favors.
