What's the smallest "gentleman's" folder you carry?

William Henry Evolution Series in the clip case is small and just about invisible. Recently, I have also started to carry the BM 450 Park Ave. It's very easy to carry even in dress pants. I still can't figure out what the little silver chain with the hook is supposed to be all about.:confused:
 
A CRK Mnandi. . .and then there is the BM-690. . .

Very cool knives !
 
I usually carry a Umfaan or Spyderco Navigator. Usually stick a new Leatherman Juice C2. None of these seems to raise eyebrows and everyone seems to like the looks of the Chris Reeve and be fasicinated by the Leatherman.
 
For me it's my normal EDC, a William Henry Evolution spearpoint in cocobolo. More recently I've also been carrying my Kershaw Chive. The Evolution gets the nod for a classy gents knife, the Chive wins the award for "fun factor". :D

For those times when I can't wear jeans I'll carry my Benchmade 690 and/or my Kershaw Chive. I'm trying to find something larger that looks non threatening and matches well with khakis or dress pants, maybe I'll make or get some custom wood scales made for my Benchmade 710.
 
Except on airplanes, one or more of these is always with me:

1. William Henry Carbon Fiber Lancet.
2. Chris Reeve Umfaan.
3. Spyderco Micarta Mini-Dyad.

You can't go wrong with anyone or all of these three in my very humble opinion.

No matter what other knives I have on me my left front pocket is reserved for a small slipjoint pattern, a Umfaan or a Larry Chew Micro Spitfire. At work that is about all I can carry without freaking out half the people in the office. If I need a knife in a situation where there are people that do not know me one of those three in my left front pocket will do the job and people do not give it a second thought.

William Henry Black & Tan Persian. Very classy little knife and so light that it practically disappears in my pocket.
 
If I am intent on carrying something that appears small and non-threatening I choose from these three:

Spyderco Dragonfly
Spyderco Centofante
Kershaw Chive
 
When I need something smaller, I carry a buck 303 or a Gerber LST, and if it needs to be snazzier, I have a Browning Featherlite mini-trapper. And my SAK rambler.

and in Courthouses, I would add.

We went to the local Courthouse to deal with getting our passports renewed. I "de-bladed" and "de-tooled" myself before going in. No Victorinox CyberTool, no Kershaw Silver Spur, no Swiss-Tech MicroPlus. I have never felt so naked.
 
Other than an ever-present traditional, I've found the CRKT Apache III to be an unobtrusive, sleek little carry for non-jean attire (for me, that's golfe slacks...usually khakies).

What did you carry in the Courthouse? Did you get throught the metal detectors? At our local Courthouse, ALL metal objects are inspected by hand.
