I run trains! |
Transitioning to a corporate job (again) from the field and will be wearing more slacks than I have in the recent past. Looking for a good folding pocket knife that I can carry in a front pocket. Can have no more than a 3” blade and would like a sleek/thin design to minimize clutter while in the pocket. At the same time looking for something substantial enough to be considered a real knife vs. my old Case pocket knife. Any suggestions on where to start? Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | ||

I have a ZT0770CF that is lightweight, has a slim smooth profile and a great blade. | |||

I have a Benchmade mini-barrage that is very office friendly. You might also look at their 940 line. Kershaw leeks are also nice and slim. “You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.” - Robert Heinlein | |||

I may be biased, but I think the Spyderco Delica would fit the bill. Lightweight, slim, with a 2-7/8" blade. For in-pocket carry you can remove the pocket clip and make it even slimmer. Easy to open and close with one hand. I carry one as my EDC knife. Meets all my cutting needs. The full-flat-grind VG10 models cut very well, hold an edge, but still relatively easy to keep sharp. I use mine nearly daily for small cutting tasks and I can go a month or two without touching up the edge. Plus, you can get it with different colored handles so it doesn't scream "tactical." I have one in light blue and another in purple. On top of that, they're not very expensive, typically around $65 or so. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

My new favorite smaller knife is the Hinderer Half Track. Small, yet kind of substantial. -------------------------------------- | |||

When I need to be in coat and tie, I have a couple of William Henry knifes that are very easy to carry and meet your requirements. Granted, they are pricey, but they are the smoothest operating knives I own. USMC (Ret) 1970-1990 Recovering 1911 Addict NRA Benefactor Member | |||

Another premium choice: https://www.knivesshipfree.com...reeve-knives-mnandi/ Chris Reeves Mnandi. They don’t get much nicer...... For a comparatively inexpensive Knife with great steel: https://www.knivesshipfree.com...inated-powder-steel/ The U2 also doesn’t look too aggressive in a Business environment. Takes a truly wicked edge! Remember, this is all supposed to be for fun................... | |||

The cake is a lie! |
Small Sebenza with the clip removed. Do you require the blade to lock? | |||

3.25”, so might not be acceptable blade length for you, but ZT0450CF is what goes in my suit pants pocket. Light, sturdy, and carbon fiber scales are good looking. https://www.knivesshipfree.com...-titanium-framelock/ NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

A small Sebenza Insigno: https://www.knifeworks.com/chr...ground-shipping.html If I was picking low hanging fruit I'd seriously consider this one. It's a little thicker with the micarta but it's nice. https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...0601935/m/5860098334  ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

Lovin' the P7 |
The Mnandi has become my go to office environment knife... | |||

The Mnandi is a nice luxurious choice. Benchmade makes some gent's knives in the same size range for less cheddar. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

+1 on the Mnandi. I've got one in the right pocket of my slacks as I type this. The little leather pouch it comes with makes it easy to toss in your pocket. I love that it's a serious folder in an unassuming package. The lock up on it is rock solid; it's completely capable of taking on hard tasks if need be. | |||

Another vote for the ZT0770CF for "professional/dress" carry. I EDC a ZT0562CF, but my "dress" knife is a 770CF. great knife with a deep carry clip that weighs damn near nothing. You'll hardly know it's their. And slips way down in the pocket to allow inconspicuous carry in the office. | |||

I don't know how you guys do it. I can't stand anything much bigger than a Syderco Butterfly in front pants pocket if it doesn't use a clip. To me, that little knife is the equivalent of a gentleman's penknife of years past, and all I usually need in any kind of dress type atmosphere. | |||

Benchmade Valet is a nice choice - great blade steel and nice gent’s knife | |||
