@@BOOSTEDLASER a classy gentleman's knife has: · a non-threatening look to it - small and relatively thin - usually a deep carry pocket clip for better concealment -lightweight ·beautiful/aesthetically pleasing -perhaps a little bit of bling -really nice colors that aren't loud but are noticeable and work well -something you can pull out and people would be intrigued rather than scared. A gentlemen's knife doesn't have to be expensive, but think of it like watches. To the uninitiated you can go around wearing a casio ediface and people may think that looks dope, but what does a ediface look compared to a Rolex if you catch my drift. Both have their roles and places, i wear an edifice everyday. But, when you tryna flex which one you gonna take?
Ok hear me out lol... You guys should do a "Best Fidget Knives" video. Kinda silly sounding I know, but a selection of the most buttery, snappy, and satisfying knives around would be pretty sweet to behold...
Get a “bolt action” defense pen. I couldn’t see spending money on a stupid pen I will end up losing so I bought a cheap one off Amazon. I think I’m going to invest in a good one now that I’ve tried it out. Bolt action is a fidgeters dream.
CRKT CEO is my "dressy" knife. Love it so much I bought a spare. The thumb stud took a week or two of use to get used to, and I would prefer a flipper setup, but the ergonomics and blade are just classy as hell and it doesn't scare people. That said, you arent supposed to put a pen in the outside of a jacket pocket. Inside only
i've been EDC'n the CRKT CEO for the last few months in the office & it's been fantastic. Very unassuming & stealthy for the office environment, which i feel is needed, but sharp as heck & looks great in the pocket.
Well people not in the know would probably think it's an off brand or some weird pen brand in college I kept a SOG Tanto Trident elite in my pocket because of how casual the clip looked in my jeans...then I bought a Microtech Ultratech Bounty Hunter and that totally killed discreet carry lol

Welcome to the classiest Knife Banter about the classiest knives. It's just so classy! Take a drink of water every time we say 'classy.' Me and Kurt just wanted you guys to stay hydrated today 🤣🤣.
For me the Pro Tech Newport has it all for A gentleman’s carry. Just the right size and design to wear with a suit. The auto feature lends a bit of wow factor when presented for a task such as cutting a piece of thread from your ladies dress she is fretting about. Sharp point for any delicate cutting. I only carry it when I’m wearing a suit so it always looks new. So consider it on your next episode of Gentlemen's Knives.
He was taking a leek when the marketing team was trying to come up with a name and he also made the CEO cry due to the amazing design... in all honesty though, I love the Leek and I wish that made it in a different variety of steels... I don’t care about the different colors that they offer besides the different shades of grey
LOVE this video! Thanks. I like to carry the Lil Native CF, Lil Lum, Firefly, Vrango or Pingo Ti from Spyderco. I also carry the Olamic Wayfarer, MBK MOG Mini, MBK Slayback and Apache X-series. I rarely carry anything bigger since I work in an office and I have a Large Sebenza in my desk drawer. Many of my favourites are from the great folks at Blade HQ. 👍
My preferred is the slip joint, leather sheath Fantoni Dweller in Cocobolo scale. The Massdrop Gent with custom snakewood scales is my modern day suit knife and considering the Civivi McKenna in Damacus as a good equilvalent Gent folder. Gentleman carry for me is smaller blade, light to medium duty tasks such as food prep for sausage, cheese, apple or fruit slicing. Ideally compliments rest of attire and accessories... Watch, pen, lighter (torch), flashlight, etc. Thus a new video concept.. Knifes that pair well for a certain style. For me three basic styles based upon shoes and watch... Dress (gentleman), sports (high water resistance), and edc based upon ones occupation.
Hey, you’d probably have a faster response either calling them (if a number is available) or sending an email ASAP. I didn’t look at what you’re talking about but o figured I may be able to help with some suggestions regarding contacting them. Still, I’ve had them respond before (not a complaint but compliment) so you would have good chances getting a response within a few days at least. I believe an email or call would be faster but I’ve never contacted outside of CZcams since I’ve never been in your situation. Good luck though! They are a great company in my opinion so I have an excellent opinion regarding their business practices and customer service.
e.wells It was 2 sentences....You really took 3 minutes to type out a response but didn’t take the time to read his comment and see it was OBVIOUSLY sarcasm?
Did I chirp this guy at all?? No. I offered advice if he did indeed want to contact them. What is the issue with that? Pieces of shit like you guys are why comment sections are absolutely horrible. I was being kind and I get rebuked for it? Regardless of the tone of the OP’s comment, it doesn’t make me culpable to BS when being helpful and kind. Oh, what’s the harm with presenting a well thought out comment by taking the time to communicate intelligently? Before it’s brought up, yes I did have a typo but I’m on a iPads and honestly didn’t feel like correcting the mistake after a quick proofread before posting the comment. So, you guys can go back to your obviously miserable lives because you all apparently needed to demean someone to make yourselves feel better. Also, I’m done responding since it’s not worth my time at all. Edit : Well, maybe I will respond to any further negative comments that are purposely attempting to provoke me...
Nice job, gents! Always enjoy a good Kurt & Zac show. Lately, I've been digging this "gentleman's" category. To me, this category should be defined as: 1) Svelte, classy/dressy design (i.e., not tactical, although tac knives are probably my favorite of all categories); 2) Ideally, less than 3" blade length; 3) Light; 4) Discreet clip design. Some others I've been thinking about that weren't in video (many already mentioned here though): Benchmade: 485 Valet, 756 Sibert Micro Pocket Rocket, & 380 Aller; Protech: Newport Tuxedo, Sprint; CIVIVI McKenna; WE 914 Anodyne; Gerber: Straightlace, Jukebox, Quadrant & Pocket Square; Kershaw: Launch 4, Chive; Michael Zieba MS3; Chris Reeve Mnandi; Kizer Lundquist.
And the guy that designed the CEO has the best last name in the world. And its stamped right there on the blade. (Eh, that's why I got one anyway lol) Finally!! The nail clip made it in a knife banter! I've been advocating for it forever! Edit: that carbon fiber leek is also a composite blade...
I found you guys 2 weeks ago. Have watched 80 episodes since. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH AND NOW HAVE THE BUG. Wife is in to it also. Bought a benchmade bugout and a Kizer Yorki for myself. A knife Christmas. :) Also bought 3 swiss army knives as gifts.
I got stopped by security entering the Aero-Space Museum in Washington D.C. a month ago with a 2007 vintage S30V Kershaw Onion, with G-10 scales. I told them it was the smallest knife I owned, the guards laughed, and let me in calling it a "Museum Knife". Definitely a gentleman's knife.
Knife addict here, love the crkt ceo reminds me of a mini samurai sword.. Like the Apple slices scene😋 , also the we miscreant and carbon Leek. Awesome vids great work guys!
During Christmas, it's common for people in my industry to send each other Harry and David pears. The last Christmas I was in the office cutting up pears with my Kershaw Leek. I can confirm it is a gentleman act
Kurt, If you really want to sell the "Benchmade Bugout Gold Class" call it a honeycomb pattern, way classier than chicken wire but still the same roots.LOL
I was a bit surprised how unregular it looks, compared to the Böker Scout Honeycomb. I mean it's quite pricy... But yeah, it is a beauty, even though the chicken wire looks not so well executed.
My favorite classy knife in my collection is the J.Oeser/Benchmade tanto , leather pocket sheath, white-black G10 scales I think and that beautiful tanto blade in 20cv
I would agree but having handled it I like it a lot more then many other knives in that size range. It feels light and really does disappear in the pocket. Just my two cents. -Zac
Christian Molick I’m sorry but what the hell do you even mean? Like I know honey comb has a smaller pattern but I’m at a loss for word about what the hell you at talking about.
I know it’s an older video but just got the CEO (thumbstud) today. Love it so far. I may get the flipper in the future but again, so far this is perfect for me at this price point
I attire myself in a suit every day. My knives in my usual rotation are either a Benchmade Contego or a Kershaw Link in blackwash finish with the grey scales. Perhaps one day I shall adopt a small fixed blade for every day carry, as well.
Just picked up the CRKT CEO and I'm glad that I saw this video a year into the future. Great profile, snappy but smooth, and blends right in as my new EDC!
Blade HQ I don’t really have a classy knife but I thought that with it being so small no one would be scared and it actually saved my brother in law’s tux from the dastardly little threads that were coming off it lol
You know how you spot the gentleman when you go out into the countryside in inclement weather? In among all Goretex outerwear he is the one in the tailored tweed jacket. All your knives are for people who wear Goretex.
Great choices guys! I would add the CRKT Urban Trapper petite, Benchmade Valet, CRK small Inkosi and Sebenza (sorry, I have them both in the exclusive Knife Art carbon fiber), William Henry E series and while I'm in the high end and after my exhaustive search, the not so readily available Gareth Bull Shamwari and my personal top choice, his Trapper.
Digging the Gold Class Bugout! Use mine each week! We won't tell anyone Kurt, just send us some knives too! Have to agree with aftermarket scales for your knives! So many great materials and choices. Also carry my 940-1 Benchmade Osborne in CF and the new CF Proper! Keepin it classy!
I carry my minimalist bowie in classy situations. And we all know Nick has the king of all zombie knifes zhunter for life. Great video Zachary anf Kurtis.
For a dinner knife I always chose the Civivi Astricus, with the natural G-10 handles, this knife is a light wieght beast! An nice an thin, with a deep carry pocket clip! Love this knife!
I love blade hq it's a highlight to my day when I see theres a new video out. You should do a video on bowie knives for edc. I personally carry a big bowie all the time along with usually a buck 110 in my pocket, but Bowie's are great edc tools.
To solve the issue with pockets getting shredded from knives with G10 grips get some high end 5.1.1 pants with reinforced pockets for EDC knives. Had my 5.1.1 pants for 7 years and wash them weekly they have no color fading, no staining and no pocket shredding.
In my opinion the best gentleman folder is Higonokami - Hammered Finish White Steel. It’s small super slim has a beautiful aesthetic and the small perfectly sized blade is absolutely razor sharp . Fits easily in suit pants pockets business shirt pockets and is in my mind Yhe best all rounder . Weighing next to nothing . My usual edc is an m16folder on the road but around the office or nights out the higonokami is the clear winner for easy conceal carry
You guys should review the Boye line of knives. They are generally sailing knives but the folder is an excellent EDC knife. All are made with Cobalt because it is non magnetic, therefore does no throw off a compass while at the helm. The marlin spike is titanium for the same reason and comes in handy for a multitude of non-sailing applications. Light weight and I wouldn’t be without one. Gentleman’s knife indeed and a peace officer wouldn’t have a problem with it.
A Swiss Army Knife isn't a gentleman's carry. It's a schoolboy's carry, or, if you follow the nomenclature, a soldier's carry. A gentleman's carry does not have a pocket clip - it should be light enough to not need one. You do not carry anything in your top outer jacket handkerchief pocket apart from....a silk pocket square. Your wristwatches are not suitable. The bow tie is tied too large (like a clown), the long tie is tied too loose (like a drunk). Gentlemen do nor wear bits of string around their wrists. That Benchmade is just plain vulgar. But I love your videos all the same, and a couple of those titanium models were gentlemanly, albeit in a modern way. My current 'Most Gentlemanly Carry' - a Great Eastern Cutlery #99 Wall Street single (440C) Wharncliffe blade, American chestnut covers. Ultimate discretion, timeless slim elegance, minimal weight, faultless manufacture - one day you will understand!
Great video, and I’m glad you finally addressed the serious deficiency in the last video.
😁😁
About the fake carbon fiber on the CEO? It fooled me.
What about smith and Wesson border guard?

Nothing says "classy" like clipping your nails in public.
ikr, its all about getting someone else to do it for you in public.
like...just who of class cuts their own nails ?
Plus, the SD comes with the scissors. The Victorinox scissors can work as nail clippers, without creating such a thick knife.
How about out the Case Toothpick in Mother of pearl? beautiful gentlemans folder
I was brought up not to cut nails in public i find it unclassy ,just like not wearing belt on your pants 👖 also not classy ...Cold Steel Kudu 😂 😂
@@rjosepha great call! Actually, that MoP Case would be more gentlemanly than ANY knife depicted in the video :o
Ok hear me out lol...

Kinda silly sounding I know, but a selection of the most buttery, snappy, and satisfying knives around would be pretty sweet to behold...
All my Benchmade Axis Lock's and my TJ Schwarz Perpetua's are my favorite fidgets.
I'm a spyerdco fan boy but even I grab my 940 for the fidget factor
They already made a video about the Boker Kalashnikov!
Get a “bolt action” defense pen. I couldn’t see spending money on a stupid pen I will end up losing so I bought a cheap one off Amazon. I think I’m going to invest in a good one now that I’ve tried it out. Bolt action is a fidgeters dream.
My mini Kwaiken is my biggest fidget knife. So smooth. I also cant help but flip my Bestech Kendo, another good fidget blade.

I’ve been doing the same but I guess I’m a little too rough on mine though I’ve replaced the pocket clip twice... other than that I love this knife
How is it opening does it have the fidget factor? Asking for a friend
My pocket clip broke while inserting into my pocket smh. Great knife in all honesty
You aren’t supposed to have pens on the outside of a jacket... ever
Cut my own pear?? Madness you peasants I have my butler do it for me
This is why we couldn't figure it out! Thanks for illuminating us.😁
What a pesaent a brown profile picture
That gave me a laugh like the Monty python rabbit scene.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you have your valet fight your duals for to Sir?
I shall await word from your second.
I would polish off the “CRKT” if I were to wear it with a blazer. I don’t want to advertise it’s a knife.
Well people not in the know would probably think it's an off brand or some weird pen brand in college I kept a SOG Tanto Trident elite in my pocket because of how casual the clip looked in my jeans...then I bought a Microtech Ultratech Bounty Hunter and that totally killed discreet carry lol
Well only knife people would likely recognize what the CRKT means. Could be a good conversation starter.
Only people would would know would be people who know what CRKT is, otherwise no one cares. If they know CRKT they probably like knives too
The uninitiated probably wouldn’t recognize the name and for those in the know I can imagine a knowing smile in passing
A rough and tough list for blue collar guys would be a pretty neat video.

Finally the CRKT CEO gets some shine. Love this knife. Can honestly say that this knife is a must have if you like minimalist knives.
I carry a Laguiole knife in an Amourette wood handle with corkscrew. This is my gentleman's carry.
I’ve been carrying the CEO for a while now. Really a great knife. Very low profile and absolutely fantastic at opening excessive numbers of envelopes.
I love the blade on the Swiss Army knife. The classic spear tip is near perfection.
Kurt says he only has his coat pockets because he’s not wearing pants, but he’s ignoring the good old prison pocket.
I just assumed that pocket was already full.

My go to gentlemen’s knife is a Protech Newport “tuxedo”.
Classy and classic! Great choice.
CEO answers the question of “what would a folding filet knife look like”.
The Swiss army passes the lunch room test while most others don’t.
The first knife looks like something from a John wick movie
I believe John Wick was using Microtech Ultratech.
I carry my buck spitfire everywhere and it rides the line between hard use and classy perfectly in the all silver color scheme
I'm an absolute sucker for gentlemans knives. A classy knife is quite the statement piece.
fancy knife for me is a laguiole with olivewood handle or lately a lionsteel barlow (ram horn scales) ;)
Nothing says "classy" and "gentleman" like... "Miscreant"
🤣True true, but maybe better than the M16?
@@BladeHQ Maybe by a hair...
I have 3 generations of folding Buck knives. All the same model all from my family. I find comfort in that heritage.
I just picked up the Spyderco Smock and it is a pretty slick knife. Something about it feels gentlemanly to me.
While I like mine too and choose it because it wasn't a leaf shaped blade. I consider it a little to big for a Gentleman's knife.
I just love the gold accents of my old classic Leatherman Flair, best gentlemans tool ever
I notice that you put a knife in the hand on the shelf behind Zac! 👍 That is cool!

Christian Molick I’m sorry but what the hell do you even mean? Like I know honey comb has a smaller pattern but I’m at a loss for word about what the hell you at talking about.
I don’t even know man
I think he referencing the cereal honeycomb
It's a perfect representation of Stucco Lath wire. If you hold a light on it at an angle, it becomes a 3D honey comb pattern.
Nothing beats a good Trad, nice wood, bone or horn scales for class and discretion, of course, I am British so class is second nature.
I know it’s an older video but just got the CEO (thumbstud) today. Love it so far. I may get the flipper in the future but again, so far this is perfect for me at this price point
The urban trapper tho?
Oh, BTW, I was surprized that you guys didn't notice that the Kizer Yorkie: has a cigar snip in the handle. now THAT'S classy
I attire myself in a suit every day. My knives in my usual rotation are either a Benchmade Contego or a Kershaw Link in blackwash finish with the grey scales. Perhaps one day I shall adopt a small fixed blade for every day carry, as well.
Just picked up the CRKT CEO and I'm glad that I saw this video a year into the future. Great profile, snappy but smooth, and blends right in as my new EDC!
Fun Fact: I carried a Gerber Mini Paraframe in my sister’s wedding lol
#runwhatyoubrung👊
Blade HQ I don’t really have a classy knife but I thought that with it being so small no one would be scared and it actually saved my brother in law’s tux from the dastardly little threads that were coming off it lol
I carry my William Henry when I'm feeling fancy. Oh also of note, my name is William Henry...
Match made in heaven!
@@BladeHQ will Blade HQ carry some William Henry knives anytime soon?

I like the CRKT Drifter for going classy. It's slim, simple, subtle, sharp and sharp looking.
I have one of those SAKs with the nail clippers. Honestly the best nail clippers I've ever used!
I was genuinely surprised at how awesome they are! -Zac
To me the Benchmade Crooked River is a good gentleman's knife
You know how you spot the gentleman when you go out into the countryside in inclement weather?
In among all Goretex outerwear he is the one in the tailored tweed jacket.
All your knives are for people who wear Goretex.
Great choices guys! I would add the CRKT Urban Trapper petite, Benchmade Valet, CRK small Inkosi and Sebenza (sorry, I have them both in the exclusive Knife Art carbon fiber), William Henry E series and while I'm in the high end and after my exhaustive search, the not so readily available Gareth Bull Shamwari and my personal top choice, his Trapper.
I EDC a Spyderco Military and work as a professional engineer in an office setting--so that totally makes it gentleman's knife.
Aw c'mon, nobody is going to talk about the Alox Easter egg?!
What did it say? I passed it a couple times and didn’t time my pause right.
@@mmcampbell9991 oh, I’m sure they will
Stay classy, BladeHQ
That's Spanish for "the whale's knife shop"
Digging the Gold Class Bugout! Use mine each week! We won't tell anyone Kurt, just send us some knives too! Have to agree with aftermarket scales for your knives! So many great materials and choices. Also carry my 940-1 Benchmade Osborne in CF and the new CF Proper! Keepin it classy!
My dressy knife is a stag handled leverletto. It’s classy Italian style plus stag handles? Yes please
“I just can’t take him seriously.” Said the guy wearing a bow tie.
Says the guy with the shitty pfp
@@quima5844 looks like someone has a fragile ego
Bow ties can be great if done correctly, this was done very poorly
@@quima5844 you clearly wear bow ties poorly
@@CZcamsAIbot u ainy wrong
"Oh I'm sure they will" - had to watch it at .25 speed and it was still hard to catch that.
Fo sho
I carry my minimalist bowie in classy situations. And we all know Nick has the king of all zombie knifes zhunter for life. Great video Zachary anf Kurtis.
Only my mom calls me that when I'm in trouble😂-Zac
For a dinner knife I always chose the Civivi Astricus, with the natural G-10 handles, this knife is a light wieght beast! An nice an thin, with a deep carry pocket clip! Love this knife!
Where is the CRKT M16 (only OG’s will understand 😭)
What is up guys :'(
Tymothy Benzinger 😭
legend says he still argues that it's a gentleman's knife. we miss him
WHAAAAT IIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS UP GUYS
Will Ben Blue now be called OG BLUE?
A true gentlemen has their pears cut for them by lesser people😉
I love blade hq it's a highlight to my day when I see theres a new video out. You should do a video on bowie knives for edc. I personally carry a big bowie all the time along with usually a buck 110 in my pocket, but Bowie's are great edc tools.
Benchmade 940, carbon fiber. Beautiful knife, great size, super light weight, little bit of flash.
Notification squad!!
Yeah buddy 👊!
The most important part of wearing a suit and looking classy is flexing on plebs, and the knife in my collection that flexes hardest in my Norseman.
CRKT helical!!! It’s so smooth just feels like it should be in the classy category. Good working blade too though.
To solve the issue with pockets getting shredded from knives with G10 grips get some high end 5.1.1 pants with reinforced pockets for EDC knives. Had my 5.1.1 pants for 7 years and wash them weekly they have no color fading, no staining and no pocket shredding.
Why doesn’t anybody still make a good spine lock
What about cold steel?
Spiderco endura
That first knife you showed us looks like a samari sword
In my opinion the best gentleman folder is Higonokami - Hammered Finish White Steel. It’s small super slim has a beautiful aesthetic and the small perfectly sized blade is absolutely razor sharp . Fits easily in suit pants pockets business shirt pockets and is in my mind Yhe best all rounder . Weighing next to nothing . My usual edc is an m16folder on the road but around the office or nights out the higonokami is the clear winner for easy conceal carry
You guys should review the Boye line of knives. They are generally sailing knives but the folder is an excellent EDC knife. All are made with Cobalt because it is non magnetic, therefore does no throw off a compass while at the helm. The marlin spike is titanium for the same reason and comes in handy for a multitude of non-sailing applications. Light weight and I wouldn’t be without one. Gentleman’s knife indeed and a peace officer wouldn’t have a problem with it.
A Swiss Army Knife isn't a gentleman's carry. It's a schoolboy's carry, or, if you follow the nomenclature, a soldier's carry.
A gentleman's carry does not have a pocket clip - it should be light enough to not need one.
You do not carry anything in your top outer jacket handkerchief pocket apart from....a silk pocket square.
Your wristwatches are not suitable.
The bow tie is tied too large (like a clown), the long tie is tied too loose (like a drunk).
Gentlemen do nor wear bits of string around their wrists.
That Benchmade is just plain vulgar.
But I love your videos all the same, and a couple of those titanium models were gentlemanly, albeit in a modern way.
My current 'Most Gentlemanly Carry' - a Great Eastern Cutlery #99 Wall Street single (440C) Wharncliffe blade, American chestnut covers. Ultimate discretion, timeless slim elegance, minimal weight, faultless manufacture - one day you will understand!
You're not wrong, you're just an asshole
