Sunday Go To Meetin' Pen Knives

I'd like to start a thread where people can show off those fancy Gentleman's pen knives such as the Tuxedos, Eisenhowers, Office Knives, Fly fishers, Pipe, Hunting Scenes, Toledos, etc.

Hopefully you get the idea but in case you're a little confused, knives that are similar to the ones below. Consider knives under 3.5 inches closed, slender build, often finished with pearl or other expensive handles,

Toledo Style Knives

A Scenic knife by Boker.

The Case Eisenhower, a classic Gentleman's equal end pen knife

A Sheffield Fly Fishing Gentleman's knife.

Peanuts need not apply. They have their own site. (unless it is a really, really cool peanut!) Show 'em if you got'em!

I'm a sucker for the equal end pen knives with a hunting scene. This is a small Imperial USA made one featuring a beagle chasing a rabbit down a hole.

J.J.,

Those EKA lobster knives are wonderful. I love the traditional Nordic dragon designs.

I figured it would pass the test, that's why I posted it. Do I get a hall pass with that "exception"? LOL!

Tobias Gibson said:

As it is not a Standard Peanut, (has a bail) and as it has what looks like Abalone Scales we'll make an exception.

Got 3 at the Dalton, GA show, back in May. Kaylin got this one...

Kaylin's knife is gorgeous as well. EKA uses Sandvik 12c27 steel for the blades, they should stay sharp a good long while.
I will have to look into my small knives and see if anything meets the criteria for this discussion.

Brad, if it is fancy, small and not just a typical peanut then I think it fits the criteria. Even certain Victorinox Classic SD fit the discussion as do some not so fancy knives. Any small equal end pen knife or watch fob knife will work.
