"Gentlemanly" :spyder: knives that I have include the Kiwi, Kopas, Almite Walker, SS Cricket, SS Dragonfly, and Micarta Calypso Jr....but I'll admit the SS Dragonfly doesn't see much pocket time b/c it's not a "low rider" in the pocket like my Kopas....it's hard to beat a Black Micarta Kopa if you're a righty! :cool:

So many shiny objects to drool over in the pics above... :)
I feel a gents knife should have elegant lines and beautyful materials.
Wood, shell, bone, titanium, carbon fiber, micarta, polished steel and coated metals come to mind for the handle.
Also, it shouldn't be big - understatement is the key to elegance.
My choice for three weddings this year (yes, three :eek: ... it's been a busy time - but none of them my own wedding :p ) was the Almite Walker. It fits the bill perfectly and goes well with a smoking. :D
Thinking about it, I could also have carried the CF Delica - the shiny black handles with the fine texture and the slim blade look very "James Bond evening wear". Unfortunately it's the one knife I never edc'd, afraid I'd scratch it in the jeans (it's only on display). So it never crossed my mind. :o
I'll carry it next time for sure.
