Gentleman's, Lady's or Formal Knife

Let's see those Gentlemen's knives. You know, the "Sunday goin' to meetin'" knife...or the knife that goes in a suit or tux pocket. What knife do you carry when feeling formal?

Some of mine:

These are only carried when going out for something nice. Haha

I have wanted to get my hands on a JE Made slippie with the carbon fiber scales. That knife is purty! Love the shape and sharp angles on that S35VN blade.

I'd say all those pictured Steve are more than class enough to attend any function.

I need to do another thread for Steve, "What knife do you carry when going to walmart in sweatpants and a dirty t-shirt?" Hahaha J/K bro.

I'll know it when I see it... And I haven't seen it.

I happen to have a vintage pen knife that's from Europe ca. WWII, that has polished stainless steel scales, somewhere locked away for safe keeping.

I've looked for, and never found anything modern that I can carry in that form factor. The Vic secretary is about as close as it gets, but it doesn't have the scales I'm looking for.

Here are my three most common
The Rambler is always on my keys and with me. The Timascus Yeoman is the most common. The maple compact, is not as common mainly because though only a 2-layer, it is the same width as the Yeoman.

I have many knives that would be appropriate for formal wear.A Benchmade auto comes to mind.This is one that is not only small,3 1/4" blade,and lightweight but has a formal appearance.

Either a Vic Compact or the Gerber Pocket Square

Here are a few of what I would term,"Sunday" knives.I tried but could not narrow it down any further.
#1 American Blade Co. "Life" Knife;so called because it was only available if you bought a lifetime subscription to Blade Magazine.
#2 A lobster pattern enameled knife by EKA Sweden.
#3 A custom folder by Frank Carlisle of Detroit Michigan.
#4 A J.A.Henckels metal handled folder with fancy handles.
