for some reasons I thought that you have C105, but you didn't put in your list.
bh...this is a HAWKBILL poll, mind you ;) ...and yes, I have the Mini Persian, it's a lovely knife, but for the purposes of this here poll, the blade curves in the *wrong* direction.... :spyder: :D

Agent Starling, first, let me tell you I like the options.. I like them alot :D
If you are carrying it on your person, I voted for Cricket. But
if you carry it in a purse, why not the Civilian?..Just to be on the safe side, waiting for a taxi after the party etc.. :cool:

My Dear Fellow Forumites~

Since there is a slight misunderstanding, let me clarify~

dress carry = what you wear when you're dressed up, male or female

hawkbill = Harpy, Cricket, etc....a sickle-shaped or reverse-S curve blade

Now, I know y'all love your kopas, your KOPAS, your KoPaS, and yer ko-pazz...but if you want to play my game you must vote Hawkbill! :p

So c'mon, gang...

I WANT TO SEE MORE HAWKBILL VOTES!!!! :spyder: :spyder:

Agent Starling :D

From the list, I voted for the Cricket.

My personal selection for formal carry is the Mini Persian and black micarta Kopa. Sometimes I carry the SFSW MOP Kiwi and SFSW Yin Yang Cricket.

Ah, I thought your poll seemed to favor :spyder: s of the hawkbill persuasion. Gee, wonder why? :rolleyes:

Okay, I'll play... I'll EDC my P'Kal. Why? If I'm going to EDC a hawkbill while dressed in formal wear, I'd want the P'Kal for its looks and versatility.

Knowing you, Starling, the only real choice here is the Superhawk.

None on your list.

Favorite dress knife is my black Micarta Calypso Senior PE.
Very light knife, innocuous black clip. Blade is big enough to handle my food cutting but does not attract attention.

A Kiwi, Dragonfly, Cricket, Jester, Ladybug, Navigator, or anything else that fits comfortably inside my pocket unclipped. Something about a big knife on a suit pocket that doesn't work well .. :)
