Gentleman's Fixed Blade

[Deltaboy1984]

Ever look at Anza? Not bad pricing, made in the USA, lots of sizes and pretty enough to lay out on your desk.

Not a good pic but here's my "Gentlemens" Anza, got if for 40ish at a gun show.

That is awlful pretty!

Puukko knives.

Not intimidating, well made, nice sheaths. Versatile

Another possibility are the small puukos made by Roselli of Finland.

+1 -- Marttiini is another top brand of puukko.

Deltaboy,

Very nice, however more on the utility side of the gentleman/utility blade line, imho.

Well, there's always this:

I used to own the next size up from that, but the red handled version. Kinda ornamental, but the blade is all business. Oh! I found a picture of the red version! I left mine with my younger brother nearly thirty years ago. His wife uses it as a letter opener.

This one is a little plainer:

I also have a "tuxedo" version of their puukko, black lacquer with gold trim. Imagine this one, but in black:

They have the elegance thing pretty much down.

Yeah, Finns and knives is kind of like Germans and beer, or Brazilians and soccer: it's a national pride thing.

I carry a Ka-Bar TDI in my pocket...good blade, good kydex sheath, and the grip is surprisingly comfortable and ergonomic for most cutting jobs....
