New gentleman's EDC carry, have a few options but need help deciding!

I'd most likely go with the Mnandi. It's not overbuilt, or too skimpy for that matter, and features a nonthreatening, contemporary style, that is IMHO about as far away from tactical styling as one can get in a one handed folder. Also I'd take a hard look at the more utilitarian Small 21 Sebenza, I really regret getting a Lg 21 sometimes. Then, while inexpensive, the CRKT Ripple or Eros would make for a fine lighter use/Gents knife and is very slim and pocket friendly.
 
I vote for the Mnandi, partly because of the clip looks more like a pen's clip than a knife's clip.

**unless a mnandi with a very pretty inlay shows up on the exchange in the next 48 hours, or someone can talk me out of it, I'm going to get the mammoth ivory william henry e6**


thanks for all the help and opinions guys!
I'd love if anyone with a william henry e6 could chime in. It seems like there is very little information on these knives. No real reviews or anything.
 
A friend of mine owns a William Henry E6.
He said he liked it, but it was much thinner than he expected... that's it.

They are all good choices. Can't go wrong. :)

I've used a more expensive WH and really liked it. It certainly seemed sleeker than the mnandi I carry, but it did seem somewhat less sturdy. Also, while the closing mechanism is very cool, it seemed to me that the more moving in there the more could go wrong. That's why I went with the CR.

As for a more interesting inlay, I've been scouring the internet for a specific one. As a result, I've come across websites selling very attractive examples of mnandis. If you let me know what you're after, I could potentially point you in the direction of a website selling it.
 
i recently picked up the E6 for very similar reasons. it is a fine knife and the black blade has the appearance more of a black pearl or chrome than a typical black coating. it's very nice. as someone mentioned i was surprised at how thin the knife is. it does not feel delicate mind you but it is very slender. it packs a decent amount of blade and the D2 gets very sharp. it rides low in the pocket. i do find myself preferring my buck mayo tnt to it though, as the buck feels much more substantial. i'm coming from carrying a 710, Gayle Bradley, ZT550 etc so i'm biased

well, my wallet blames you...but I just ordered a mnandi in mammoth ivory.

I'll post some pictures when I get it.
 
Very nice decision.
Though I did pop up a bit late.
I was going to tell you to deeply consider the Spyderco Gayle Bradley Air.
I have one and I absolutely love it. It's a beautiful knife, very eye-catching.
It's lightweight with nice milled titanium liners.
The M4 blade steel is amazing. It's very sharp and is a great cutter.
The knife sharpens up very easily and beautifully. It takes a great fine edge.
The blade is thin and a great slicer.
I didn't like that it didn't have a pocket clip either. But I picked it up anyways and haven't regretted it at all.
I carry it when dressed casually and it would be my go-to for when wearing a suit.
It fits great in a watch pocket but would slide great into any pocket.
Easily accessible and just a top shelf knife.
You would think it was much more expensive.
I can't say enough good things about it.
 
I have to say that I love the EDC6 I really love it. Only got to hold it once but I love it. And the A.G.Russell one is really cool.
