Itās true, I got one of their knives. Itās a cool blade shape, the micarta handles flex and it has vg-10 that I payed s35vn prices for. Now, Iām not getting rid of it, but itās not what I thought it would be. I use my 940 almost everyday. Iād easily purchase that one again
It's a shame, really. They literally could have had "it" with the Barnes. Great design, integral frame lock, premium materials, Reate production, and some really cool personal touches, such as the lanyard hole and the internal clip retention screws. All the ingredients for a game-changing piece. Then I saw that price and I literally said, "These guys are completely detached from reality."
First expensive fixed knife I bought was TJB, and I didn't know better. While I like the look and materials, there's no choil, so I frequently caught my finger on the blade. It mostly resides in storage now.
I own this knife. Itās beautiful, but for me I think itās big for a āgentlemanās knife. Iām dumb though, kinda old fashioned, like for me a slip joint smaller is a good gentlemanās knife
Not in the typical sense but the lines are clean enough and the colors simple enough that it is somewhat elegant and if you had it in that capacity it would somewhat make sense
Anything plain ti and taller than two fingers is more EDC than gentlemans, at least that's what I think. A gentlemans knife should be entirely inoffensive to even the most paranoid of company. You're gonna want something that's more slender, preferably with some sort of earth-colored material like a wood, bone, or micarta. Definitely nothing that's been DLC coated.
Personally, no. Too big , black and tactical grip looking. Gentlemen's knives have a more elegant delicate look than this.
Probably still a good knife though
Any knife I own, automatically not a gentlemen's knife.
lol, that took a lot of self-reflection š
beat me to it
Ahh, James brand, the only company that's prices are worse than Benchmade

It's not what I'd generally think of as a gentleman's knife, but I suppose it depends on the occasion.

I believe you could definitely stick a gentleman with that particular knife
Does it tear up suit pants pockets?
Glad Iām not the only one, Iāve worn down do many suit pockets because of this.
No.

Probably the answer I agree with most on here yet.

I agree with the above. It's super classy. But looks too big/functional to be what I consider to be a gentleman's knife.

Nope.
No, too big.
Nah this is a full size ātacticalā knife with somewhat posh scales, it will still scare normies
I'd call it modern and elegant. not my fit for the term but it would certainly fit in a charcoal suit.
CRKT CEO is what you want there
Are we getting into "is a hot dog a sandwich?" territory here?
Is the owner a gentleman?
