Thanks, Cory Hess and NJBillK. I thought this might be the case, just wasn't all that sure.

Mikael, yours is truly a beauty and very special with its connection to your ancestor.

Thanks, in due time it will go to the next generation.
For formal occasions, I like the thin Northfield #99 Wall Street in autumn gold smooth bone, but an equal end like those showed in this thread would be very good choices too.

It was used when someone called for a pocketknife, to open a package.
The men curiously watched what knife I had and it passed with grace.


Regards
Mikael

I wasn't sure what I'd want, but that's because I hadn't seen it yet 😁
The only change I'd make to that knife would be black lip MOP scales

I'd love in abalone, too. In my opinion one use of a pocket knife in a formal situation is thread clipping, yours or your lady's. The little scissors is perfect for that.
 
I believe any of these vintage knives would fill the requirements you have outlined.

I had todd make me this ivory beauty for my wedding day. It's my formal knife. At 4 1/8", it's a big boys formal knife also.

 
I found this one in my collection I think it's mother of pearl, too bad the handle scales have some cracking and it has a missing metal piece, the markings are Fairmount Cutlery Co. anyone know about this brand?

Just received this Queen Senator from kysteve today - from what I looked up it's 60-80 years old, and the covers are some kind of white Onyx. I need to get on the horn with Queen and confirm that age, because it's in great shape. It's slick, the snap is great. 3 1/4" closed. Just what I was looking for. Close up at the bottom to show the detail of this onyx, it's kind of a light creamy yellow with white swirls in it.

Very cool Queen. It looks to be in incredible shape for being that old, pretty full blades and no noticeable damage to the covers. Fantastic pick-up.
