Suit knife
I'm getting married in a few weeks and will be in need of a knife to compliment my suit (not a tuxedo). I have a lot of Spydies with G10 and FRN, but none of them really seem to fit the bill. I have been leaning towards a non-Spyderco OTF, but which Spydies should I consider? I am thinking about a couple, but I don't want to influence anyone's answer.
I think a suit knife should be: fairly slim, small, light-ish, classy and not tactical, and inconspicuous.
Does anyone have any ideas?
By the way, a PM2 isn't ideal for a suit knife...

The first time I saw a Spyderco was the early 90s at a knife shop in a mall. I can still see the SpydieHoles through that glass display cabinet. My parents wouldn't buy any of them for me... so now I buy them all. :spyder:

Well it's not cheap, but my first instinct would be the 40th Anniversary.

Re: Suit knife
Sage 5.
If you want something smaller and can wait for the Rhino to come out, that had be a great choice.

Re: Suit knife
Well, if they were still on the market, the SpyderCard or ByrdCard would be perfect. But definitely a Manbug in addition to whatever else you decide on.
Re: Suit knife
If you can go clip less I think Air is a good choice
Re: Suit knife
Chaparral, Air (no clip), Memory

Re: Suit knife
The Chaparral would be the #1 pick. I cannot think of any knife, by any maker, that is so suitable to a suit. (pun intended)
However, I would not over look the humble FRN Delica, either. The Native is thicker and blockier. Most of BM's knives are too thick or blocky, except the 707 (their best knife for this role).

A Chap' would be best if it was going to feature in the wedding photos but if you just want something to cut the wedding cake I'd prolly go a Temp' 2 only because it's a PITA getting icing out of a Millie's pivot.

Re: Suit knife
I don't have one yet, but I've been thinking about what would be a nice suit carry. I'm leaning to the CF or Raffir Chaparral -- although if I was going slightly larger I think it might be a Sage 5. My Domino is just a little heavier than is practical for my suit pants, even though it's great for Dockers.
If I save enough pennies I might skip them all for the CF Native with s90v... :)
Most importantly: congratulations! I hope you're both very happy for many years to come!
