Knife with a suit! - KCSR

**HiLandR** · 2014-03-20, 03:49 PM

I've been pondering what knife to get for those days when I wear a suit, AKA a "Gentlemen's Folder". I am looking at these so far (I really like Spyderco); any other suggestions?

Spyderco Centofante Memory

Spyderco Chaparral 3

For dress occasions, there's nothing better than a Pro-Tech Godfather or The DON. Especially the tuxedo versions.

Jim Magee may have some of both at the gun show this weekend at KCI too.

I saw these and drooled all afternoon. I don't have 600 to spend, but if I did! This would be the way to go for me. I like the front flipper without the tang.

This one is STUPID Sexy!!!

I picked up the Centofante Memory yesterday for $100.00. Great damned deal at the gun show. Couldn't resist.

**HiLandR** · 2014-03-24, 01:54 AM

Btw big man, it was good to see you and meet Jim. That Godson in brown was my favorite it was just about 3times what I could spend. But I hope to have one someday.

Wow congrats. $100 is a huge deal!

It's really nice to have a refined blade for the days when I need to be a bit more professional. I sharpened it last night on the sharp-maker. Damn it was fast, easy and it is really sharp. This VG-10 is a dream. I can only imagine how much better other steels are.

**HiLandR** · 2014-03-25, 01:38 PM

Here is a quick pic I snapped last night after sharpening.

**zef** · 2014-03-26, 03:10 AM

HiLandR, you're definitely hooked. Only a matter of time until we're both carrying $1,000+ knives every day.

(my current EDC is a $230 Microtech Ultratech)

Need to win the lotto!

**HiLandR** · 2014-03-26, 02:43 PM

I would love to have a Protech Defiance as well! It's a classy dual action. Have you ever had one KW?

**HiLandR** · 2014-03-26, 04:06 PM

This guy says it all!

Nope, never had a Defiance.

I do have several stealth autos though ...

Pro-Tech / Mike "Whiskers" Allen Magic (black) - very cool palm-based bolster deployment. Nobody is ever able to figure out how it works.

Pro-Tech / Mike "Whiskers" Allen Magic (jazz)

Lone Wolf Harsey D2 - deployment mechanism is hidden under scale. You have to push it in just the right location.

Here is my little pocket drop last night.

**zef** · 2014-03-28, 02:42 AM

Nice! I need to take one of those pics.

You may need a wide angle lens!

Can always go the custom route

Dem Osbornes.

**HiLandR** · 2014-04-24, 02:51 PM

I've been looking at quite a few customs, and they fed my design ideas for the one I designed. I just hope it's unique enough for them.

Praetorian · 2014-04-24, 02:55 PM

PM sent.

I'll see what I can do
