Gentleman's knives exude elegance and status. These knives are called gentleman's knives, a nod to their origins. Originally, these knives were fashion accessories for upper-class men. Despite the name, these knives are a graceful addition to any person's wardrobe. Gentleman's knives are functional and have a second purpose besides cutting. They complete your outfit. Similar to a nice watch, which also does more than just tell the time.

What is a gentleman's knife?

A gentleman's knife is a type of pocket knife designed to be small, light and elegant. These knives are usually made from high-quality materials such as damascus steel, wood or carbon fibre. The gentleman's knife is intended for formal occasions and is considered a fancier tool than a regular pocket knife. Gentleman's knives come in different sizes, materials and with different opening/locking mechanisms, so you can have a matching knife for any outfit!
