Wanted: Suggestions on "dress pant" carry knives

[OutdoorDad]

I use a Kershaw Leek as a money clip ( with 10 or so dollar bills it breaks up the outline of the knife that way) when I dress up.

I have been using the chive similarly for several years.

Works great for me.

I use a Kershaw Skyline as my “dressy-we” knife.

I always thought a Ti Sage 2 might be nice. A little big if true complete concealment is needed, but still very light.

I carry a Spyderco NATIVE® 5 G-10 clipped into my front pocket. Some of my slacks have a smaller pocket inside of the main pocket, and it goes in there when they do.

I like the spydie chaparral. You can go fancy with it or get the carbon fiber. Nice size and not intimidating.

Victorinox has a chain that clips on your belt and allow a knife with a bail to hang in your pocket without lying on the bottom and causing a buldge. I've found it to be very handy and no one thinks of a swiss army knife as a weapon.

Man, I feel under-dressed with just my CRKT M16 clipped in my dress pants' pocket.

I have a little Case Toothpick knife I carry everyday in addition to my Benchmade Osborne on it's clip...When I have to dress up I just pack the little case..

ZT0450CF. At 2.45 ounces, it's perfect for dress pants...

If it's too black and scary looking, go with the all titanium ZT0450 at a whopping 2.9 ounces...

 

[JettaKnight]

Now you guys got me looking at this pearl Kershaw Leek so I can get all fancy.

For nice jeans I like my ZT0566 CF. Mine is a first edition run with M390 blade steel. The newer ones are Elmax

For slacks I have a Kershaw Skyline Premium Blade HQ exclusive LE in S30V steel and CF scales.

If I'm grabbing my cleanest pair of dirty jeans and a shirt from the top of the hamper. Spyderco Endura.

Suit pants every day worth with county-imposed 2.5" blade length restriction. Microtech UTX70 or Spyderco Dodo.

aturk needs to class it up a bit. Where'd you go man? We need to know what you like so we can go look up pictures of gentleman's folders.

I saw this at an NRAAM and thought it would be a good "fancy knife" (Benchmade Megumi 482):

Due to the lack of OP response we obviously have not gone deep enough or expensive enough, so I present the ultimate dress knives ever. Full dress Emerson custom CQC-6 and CQC-9 made out of the Damascus that Ernie forged in Japan under the old masters there. Incredible knives that are probably worth more than most people's cars. I believe these are Soundscapists knives from Instagram he is one of the premier Custom Emerson collectors in the world and has an incredible collection.

careful someone might call in a tip saying you are carrying A knife thats too big!

You didnt give a price range so how much this suggestion may or may not hurt your wallet is 100% not my fault. Look in Chris Reeve Knives specifically the small Sebenza on the Mnandi , they look fantastic, non-threatening and CRK even gives you a little leather pouch for the knife to act as a pocket sheath when wearing dress pants.

Sorry I've been MIA, I've been busy researching stabby things.

Dean - as usually you have good taste and we probably have very similar budgets.

At this point I'll probably go with the Chris Reeves knife everyone and their brother suggested. I would really like to see one in person so I'll have to dig around.
