I believe that this Harrison Fisher should qualify as a gentleman's knife.

I'll add this Ellenville to the mix.

And I think this Moki qualifies.

I think these are what the OP had in mind, some MOP Robesons and a Schlechten from Germany.

When I think of 'Gentlemans Knife' I guess my definition is a little more broad. I think of something simple, elegant and non-threatening; a knife I could pull out in church or a fancy event and not be out of place. It doesn't have to be really small necessarily. I don't think I even own a vest anymore, so vest-pocket size is not a thing. Here's a few knives I have carried in these situations. The Doctor's Knife is pushing it size-wise, but it looks cool.

Four Keen Kutters I recently acquired. All four have a nail file blade. I am also a fan of tip bolsters.

Beautiful; I especially love the sleeveboard on the bottom of your pic.
