Was there ever a more aptly named knife?

Cool! I really like the Tuxedo pattern for work carry, people think it's elegant, like it's name:

I also think its elegant. And am currently on a MOP jag, thanks for sharing that one.

I googled to learn why they don't call the pattern a bow tie, here is what Case says, right next to a photo of your MOP BowTie ;-). If you get a chance, please post a pic of it with blades closed also.

"It is believed that the name of this pattern was given due to the shape of the knife resembling a bowtie, and this accesory is what makes a tuxedo complete."

Im still wondering why they call it a tuxedo though?:-)
 
It is indeed an elegant little knife. It's surprising at how just a little slip of steel will do for most things that need cutting, if it's good and sharp.
 
That's a beauty, especially with those jigged handles scaled to the size of the knife!!

A knife store I did business with years ago sent me this.
Can you guess when?:confused::D

I'm sure it's the same pattern - it's also a Camillus!

Nice Case, Zippo!
