What knives appear most like a pen when carried, but open fast and function best? I just ordered a Delta-Z 360 exec knife in silver, and hope to find a matching real pen. Another knife I considered was the Executive Edge, any user feedback? Any other good knives out there which look like pens for discreet office carry? (No junk please).

Or which pens look the most like knives?
 
Someone will come along and say this better than me but "pen-looking knive" and "(no junk please)" may not be possible to reconcile, depending on what you want your knife for. There are many knives which appear acceptable in "sheeple" enviornments, swiss army knives, traditional slipjoints with nice scales in stag or pearl or wood, small locking knives by Spyderco, etc. All of which will probably serve you MUCH better than knife concealed in pen-shaped body (which means it is probably blade with little width,"scapel style" which gives you little leverage or general cutting ability)-

I recently bought a Chris Reeve Mnandi (Zulu for "Very Nice") at Blade, based almost solely on it's low profile, pen-like appearance when carried in a pocket. I had developed a strong liking for the CRK line during the weeks before but strongly favored the larger Sebenza models until I read a post on BFC in which the Mnandi was described in the aforementioned manner. The idea quickly jelled over the next couple of days to the degree that it was my first choice from CRK's booth when I rushed in on Friday! If only I had exercised restraint at that point and paid up and left and not returned.........but nooooooo........Oh well, that's another story. :-)
