I have large hands and find the Ikuchi a great fit. It’s a serious slicer, good for casual food prep, and a great fidget toy as well, eventually(!). It also nearly disappears in the pocket being so slim and light.

The Chaparral is also a good fit and a great performer, if more conventional.

Another good innocuous slip joint is the Viper EZ-Open. I have that one in my pocket right now. Anyone who's ok with a SAK will be ok with this knife. Mine is a really nice ironwood, which has a good 'gents' feel to it.

Ikuchi may be perfect. Light, fun, slim, capable. No issue for big hands.

Second!

It’s similar to the Boker Urban Trapper. I have/like both but the Ikuchi wins, for me.

There's a lot of smaller knives out there that are very suitable for office carry.

A few of my favorite small knives are...

Spyderco Chaparral

Spyderco Dragonfly KC Pakkawood Exclusive

https://www.knifecenter.com/item/SP28WD ... -exclusive

Massdrop-Ferrum Forge-Gent - I have two. One OD Green G10 & one of the Rosewood versions. I like these so much that either could easily be my only knife. Not sure if they're still available though

Benchmade 707 Sequel

Kizer Laconico Yorkie - This one's really impressed me too. It's a really nice little knife

I got this one on sale several months ago

There's a couple other versions that I might prefer to have but they weren't available when I found the one I ended up buying. I'm happy with the one I have

I'm sure I'll think of others

So far it is a tight race with the Watu, Ikuchi, Chapparal, Yorkie/Envoy
So, mostly Spydies
Keep looking at the Seb 31 with micarta inlays... Noooooo

A couple of the other recommendations looked/sounded great, but not readily available at the store I like shopping at.

Blew that one entirely. Got a bulk order for some bow strings... So got the large Seb 31. Oops. Thanks for all the recommendations. Now I am wearing out the refresh button on the Can Post tracking... Lol

The more the merrier in the CRK club! :D

[bobnikon]

I blame you all... And myself of course. But definitely excited!

[abbazaba]

If CRK ever licenses the Spydiehole they are going to sell out for years to come.... Any chance of a collaboration?

I keep wondering if the Sage2 will return someday with a ceramic ball lock interface.

FWIW I still think you should grab the Chaparral ASAP

That's really the only fault I can find in both of mine. I'm getting used to the studs, but nothing beats the hole!

[TomAiello]

I've seen after market modifications that installed a round hole opener on CRK's before.

[austrian_spyder_fan]

What about a Caly 3?
Some shops still have them in stock.

[bobnikon]

SWWNBI (she who will not be ignored) will string me up if I get anything else for a while, but if people want to keep this for good gent folder recs, that would be cool.

[standy99]

Next step up is the Mnandi for the boardroom :D

A knife that I just thought about that would be a great suit knife is the Reinhold Rhino.

[bobnikon]

The rhino is a pretty knife for sure!
