Suit Knife

The Spyderco Air Bradley has already been reco'd. It's a great knife for a suit; intended to be carried in the pocket...has NO pocket-clip. Nobody knows you have a knife until/unless you take it out of your pocket. M4 blade-steel...wonderful; holds a great edge a long time. the blade is about 2.5" and won't scare anyone. Attractive carbon-fiber scales; beautiful knife that will cut your tomato and lunch meat; will open letters and packages and you'll begin to wonder whether it will EVER get dull enough to re-sharpen.
Love 'em.

I'm also a fan of my Chaparral Stepped Titanium. Not as light, but a very attractive knife that is also a killer slicing machine.

Great little knife, but if you carry it clipped it's tough on pants in my experience. Here's a snapshot of mine:

Benchmade Pardue 530. Thin, sleek, sharp. Great knife, reasonable price. I believe there are Gold Class versions of the 530 that are fancier. But the original works great for me.

I've carried a Spyderco Sage 1 when wearing a suit for several years. Well under $200, looks good, and feels great in the hand.
 
BM shoki 480-1 . Very suit like - m390 and CF a great combo. Plus, light and no clip. Blade hq has some protos from 2010 left.

Oops. Sorry blade hq now sold out on prototypes. I bought one couple weeks ago and posting this made me think I should buy another, but they are now sold out.

Both the William Henry and the Mnandi are well north of $200. I don't yet have a WH, but my Damascus and mammoth ivory Mnandi is roughly $800.

The Spyderco Air is amazing. An M4 steel blade in such a lightweight package for well under $150? Genius knife!

I'm actually leaning towards the air now XD
 
If it doesn't have to be a locking folder, you could go with a Victorinox Cadet, a GEC Stockman, a Case Peanut or maybe even one of the fancier Laguioles. If you want a Spyderco, the Pingo and Squeak are nice knives too. Pretty wide spectrum of decent choices under $200.
 
wow, lots of awesome suggestions. I have a lot of knives to check out now. The spyderco air and the william henry edc line look great.
 
I don't know if anyone has said it yet but bladehq is selling the kershaw skyline in carbon fiber and s30v for 105 for the stone wash, and 110 for the all black blade. I think the all black blade look's pretty sexy. I was going to get one but went with the spyderco sage 2 instead. I'm really happy I did. It's really nice and now one of my favorites.
 
Spyderco caly 3 damascus with tii bolsters perfect for a suit.william henry is goid but pricy.I like them but they are more jewelry then knife but good looking
