Spyderco Chaparral

 

[Officer's Match]

Spyderco Delica

 

[Hackenslash]

Three gentlemanly slicers that are currently favorites in my rotation are...
Spyderco Chaparral

CIVIVI Mckenna (front flipper)

Three Rivers Neutron (wait list required)

I've only had the Neutron for a few days but OMG it's a sweet little slicer. I never expected that from this knife.

Spyderco Native 5 and Manly Wasp are both thin, excellent slicers.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Ill just throw this out there and say William Henry Studio. If the budget allows.

Spyderco chaparral, centofante 3, and delica are good and thin.

Buck's hollow-grinds are great slicers even if the stock thickness is a bit thick. I like the buck sprint a lot myself.

Benchmade's mini-grip with the sheepsfoot and hollow grind was great, but only available in 154cm and now discontinued.

I think the boker urban trapper is really thin as well but I've never used mine much so I don't remember quite how thin. Very gentlemanly though.

For traditionals with a full blade, love the GEC 82 possum skinner. Very thin blades.

What is the budget and what do you consider small? Under 3" blade?

The Manly Wasp is a great suggestion.

The Ontario Rat 2 is a great slicer and the D2 version will cost under $40 if you are looking for a great budget blade.

Thin ground, small, gentleman style, decent steel? Check, check, check, check

Boker Exskelibur is quite thin, although they are not well known for good fit and finish.
Deep hollow grind to 0.011" behind the edge.

 

[xraso]

civivi elementum - really happy with the slicing on this D2 blade. Holding an edge pretty decently also.

The Chaparral is a great small slicer in a "gent's" style, although I'm partial to the CF/G-10 version. I had one of the early Neutrons, and it wasn't a great slicer for me. Although the blade stock was thin (0.09 inches), it was 0.022 inches behind the edge. I think they've changed either the grind on these, their sharpening process, or maybe both, and I bet they're thinner behind the edge now. I'd be interested to hear.

Mcusta.
Lots of choices and they're all thin ground BTE.

 

[marrenmiller]

Chaparral or the Boker Exskelibur

 

[Ajack60]

Spyderco Centofante, go look it up.

 

[bill64]

Thank you all for your suggestions.Not D2 please.As regard the size,Delica and smaller.Up to 200 dollars.

 

[miso2]

Smaller than Delica?
Then, Chaparral would be a good choice (0.012" behind the edge).
If you want something really thin, consider Benchmade Proper Krein regrind (currently available $200).

Also, you can probably find a good custom fixed blade for the price.

I'm not sure any Spyderco could fit the description of a 'gentleman style'.

 

[Sonnydaze]

I think that the Spydie Chaparral would be an excellent choice, and with carbon fiber looks pretty gentlemanly to me...

Not even this one?
