      @@BOOSTEDLASER a classy gentleman's knife has:
      · a non-threatening look to it
      - small and relatively thin
      - usually a deep carry pocket clip
      for better concealment
      -lightweight
      ·beautiful/aesthetically pleasing
      -perhaps a little bit of bling
      -really nice colors that aren't loud
      but are noticeable and work well
      -something you can pull out and
      people would be intrigued rather
      than scared.
      A gentlemen's knife doesn't have to be expensive, but think of it like watches. To the uninitiated you can go around wearing a casio ediface and people may think that looks dope, but what does a ediface look compared to a Rolex if you catch my drift. Both have their roles and places, i wear an edifice everyday. But, when you tryna flex which one you gonna take?

    A gentleman’s carry. Just the right size and design to wear with a suit. The auto feature lends a bit of wow factor when presented for a task such as cutting a piece of thread from your ladies dress she is fretting about. Sharp point for any delicate cutting. I only carry it when I’m wearing a suit so it always looks new. So consider it on your next episode of Gentlemen's Knives.

    My preferred is the slip joint, leather sheath Fantoni Dweller in Cocobolo scale. The Massdrop Gent with custom snakewood scales is my modern day suit knife and considering the Civivi McKenna in Damacus as a good equilvalent Gent folder.
    Gentleman carry for me is smaller blade, light to medium duty tasks such as food prep for sausage, cheese, apple or fruit slicing. Ideally compliments rest of attire and accessories... Watch, pen, lighter (torch), flashlight, etc.
    Thus a new video concept.. Knifes that pair well for a certain style.
    For me three basic styles based upon shoes and watch... Dress (gentleman), sports (high water resistance), and edc based upon ones occupation.

      Hey, you’d probably have a faster response either calling them (if a number is available) or sending an email ASAP. I didn’t look at what you’re talking about but o figured I may be able to help with some suggestions regarding contacting them. Still, I’ve had them respond before (not a complaint but compliment) so you would have good chances getting a response within a few days at least. I believe an email or call would be faster but I’ve never contacted outside of TH-cam since I’ve never been in your situation. Good luck though! They are a great company in my opinion so I have an excellent opinion regarding their business practices and customer service.

Regardless of the tone of the OP’s comment, it doesn’t make me culpable to BS when being helpful and kind. Oh, what’s the harm with presenting a well thought out comment by taking the time to communicate intelligently? Before it’s brought up, yes I did have a typo but I’m on a iPads and honestly didn’t feel like correcting the mistake after a quick proofread before posting the comment. So, you guys can go back to your obviously miserable lives because you all apparently needed to demean someone to make yourselves feel better. Also, I’m done responding since it’s not worth my time at all.
      Edit : Well, maybe I will respond to any further negative comments that are purposely attempting to provoke me...

    I attire myself in a suit every day. My knives in my usual rotation are either a Benchmade Contego or a Kershaw Link in blackwash finish with the grey scales. Perhaps one day I shall adopt a small fixed blade for every day carry, as well.

    Nice job, gents! Always enjoy a good Kurt & Zac show. Lately, I've been digging this "gentleman's" category. To me, this category should be defined as: 1) Svelte, classy/dressy design (i.e., not tactical, although tac knives are probably my favorite of all categories); 2) Ideally, less than 3" blade length; 3) Light; 4) Discreet clip design. Some others I've been thinking about that weren't in video (many already mentioned here though): Benchmade: 485 Valet, 756 Sibert Micro Pocket Rocket, & 380 Aller; Protech: Newport Tuxedo, Sprint; CIVIVI McKenna; WE 914 Anodyne; Gerber: Straightlace, Jukebox, Quadrant & Pocket Square; Kershaw: Launch 4, Chive; Michael Zieba MS3; Chris Reeve Mnandi; Kizer Lundquist.
