I've had mine for years and the handle scales have gotten a lot darker over time. They didn't mention the most remarkable thing about it and that's the weight. At under 2oz, it doesn't weigh down your pocket. That may be why the price of it is a lot higher now than when they made this video.

A gentleman's knife, to me, should be one that if you had to use in a social setting will not cause alarm to those around you. Tacticool of any kind are not gentlemen knives. Luckily knives come in all shapes and sizes and it's okay to own as many as you want for whatever circumstances you find yourself in.

I love all the Banters, it's fun on this side as well.

"Swindle" also sounds about right for a gentleman's folder🤔👊

Sleek, small, smooth and polished, wood or other classic scales are an easy pick. Modern/cool stuff might work but probably not with the wrong execution. The clip if it has one needs to be simple or smooth looking, attractive but not distracting. When in doubt, look at pens for reference or even match.

I've been carrying my Boker Urban Trapper for over a year now and I wear dress slacks every day for work. I used to carry much bulkier heavier knives and this was my first dive into something more slim and gentlemanly. Definitely love it! I convinced my dad to get one as well. It opens so smooth, and no one is scared of surprised by it, but its still fully functional.

About a year ago I had to decide on a knife to wear with a suit and slacks. I decided on the Gerber 39 series. I needed something without a pocket clip, because no matter how suave it looks, the pocket clip detracts from the professional appearance. The same with something that is 2 hand opening, so I don't attract unneeded attention while deploying the blade. And finally, the lock-back design is a timeless classic, exactly what a gentleman should have.

Confirmed: Zac has hair. I figured the hat was to disguise a bald spot.
