What are your dress up knives?

[Jeff S1]

A Buck Prince

 

[Snarky]

Caly3 ZDP189/CF. The smooth version of CF handle material is nice because it does not wear a hole in trousers/slacks. Its small and has a deep-carry wire clip.

Any of several Victorinox knives. However, I lack culture.

I didn't really have a specific "dress up" knife before. It was usually just what I felt like carrying. I always have a Vic Midnite Minichamp on my keys and since buying my Spyderco Dragonfly VG-10 with G-10 scales, it's not left my pocket. It's small, discreet, looks great, and will likely be my dress up EDC til something better comes along.
I don't see that happening any time soon though cuz I love this little knife. I've had the original FRN Dragonfly for about 10 yrs now and have always loved it but always wished they'd do a nicer version so I've got my wish.

A new FRN version is coming out soon too!

 

[Jaryetz]

Currently, I would say the Kershaw Blur, in formal black. Although, I still love the old standards like a Schrade lb5.

The knife I wear to fancier occasions is a Santa Fe Stoneworks Delica my girlfriend bought me last Christmas. It has a blood jasper and jet onlay with a silver Spyderco bug in the jet portion.

Hey Jake, what's up bro? Really, a new FRN model? I hope it's got a removable clip and jimping like the VG-10 version. Got any links to more details and an ETA on this one? I may have to pick one up.
Toronto, and Canada in general being such a conservative place, I find the Dragonfly to be the ideal big city EDC. For some reason I always feel a bit uneasy carrying my Mini Grip, Delica sized or bigger blades around in the city. I've never been stopped or hassled by police, or been in a situation where I even had to consider using a blade as a self defence weapon. As a result I keep those bigger blades in my EDC bag as back up now and use the Dragonfly as my in pocket EDC.

That's what I generally go with.:thumbup: Thinking about replacing it with a CF Kopa though. I've found that the blade shape of the Mini Persian is a little aggressive looking for formal events.

+1 abalone kopa here

 

[Josh K]

Strider SMF CC with stonewashed blade and ti lock slab. Or a Sage II.

All I know for sure is that it will have a removable wire clip, VG10, and it hasnt been decided yet whether it will have liners or not. I'm leaning towards no liners though because Sal asked in the spyderco forum what the general population thought and 90% said no liners. I do hope it has the G10 version's jimping. Go check out the Spyderco forum for more info. Might have to search, cause I think it's a few pages back.
