since getting back from africa, my style of EDC has changed dramatically. over there, i'd carry nothing but bigger, rugged, utilitarian spydies for hard work outdoors... (ex: mili, pacific salts, police, tasman salt). now, working as an americorps volunteer, i'm in and out of all sorts of meetings constantly. i rarely getting my hands too dirty outdoors, and i tend to carry smaller, dressier, NKP-friendly knives.
i've been buying more "dress knives" as well... prefering the smaller "bling" or "techie" look.
anyway, what all of this is leading up to is... what are your favorite spydie dress knives?
i'm going to do a top five:
1. Volpe (although i'm not too terribly fond of the olivewood on mine, which is quickly acquiring blue jean scuff stains...)
2. R2
3. adventura
4. jess horn ZDP
5. big persian (although, a tad too "big" for the office...)

CF Delica and Almite Walker see about equal suit time.
If I had Copas or Kiwis, they would, too. :)
If i had a CF Walker, it would be my only suit knife. *drool* :D

Call me nuts, but my idea of dress carry is my army boots and the ss police in a boot rig :cool: Out of sight, out of mind.
Typically I'll clip something small to my pocket (cricket, 'fly, spin), or IWB something bigger if I'm wearing a jacket too.
Have a feeling I'll be picking up an ATR at my local when my income tax refund gets in... see if they don't have the Ti in, might get the SS. Have to get a salbenza while I still can.

Why do people worry more if you argue with your voices than if you just talk with them? What about if you lose those arguements?
Slowly going crazy at work... they found a way to make the voices work too.

Never wore a dress, although must admit being a bit intrigued by Cold Steel's "Tactical Sarong". 
:rolleyes: :D
On a more serious note, my favorite "dressy" large Spydies are my Ironwood Persian, Birdseye Maple Atlantic, and now my Lignum Vitae Stretch.
Medium size ones would be the CF Caly 3 from Sal, M. Hunt engraved Mini Persian and Delica, and my new A. T. Barr One-Eyed-Jack. For small knives, it's almost always one of my Kiwi "flock", unless it's a really formal occasion. For those, one of my C27 Horns gets to come out of the cabinet.
