Gentleman's Knives

If you are looking for a stylish EDC knife, you are well advised with an elegant gentleman's knife. The cutting tools, also known as men's knives, are suitable for handling everyday tasks and also serve as a fashionable accessory. Due to their noble appearance, gentleman's knives are also very popular among collectors.

In our shop category "Gentleman's Knives," you will find more than 200 high-quality folding and pocket knives, some of which are made from very exclusive materials and exude pure elegance. Whether classic, modern, simple, or extraordinary: Our range includes suitable models for every taste. The following buying guide explains in detail what distinguishes Gentleman's Knives.

What are Gentleman Knives?

Pocket knives are a companion in everyday life and an elegant addition to your wardrobe. The knives designed for daily use can be comfortably carried in suit or jacket pockets due to their slim design. However, since the term can be used quite subjectively, there is no general definition for gentleman's knives.

In general, under Gentleman's Knives, noble and delicate pocket knives are understood, where the focus is on design and craftsmanship. These are very high-quality versions that score with an elegant appearance. Some models are even so exclusive that they are delivered in a presentation case with an individual serial number and authenticity certificate.

Characteristic of Gentleman's knives is also the use of high-quality materials. In the area of men's knives, for example, numerous models can be found whose blades are made of high-quality Damascus steel. A Gentleman's knife made of Damascus is not only extremely sharp and durable. It also impresses with a unique look. The knife handles are often made of noble woods, but sometimes also of horn.

Available in numerous designs

Gentleman knives are available in many different sizes, blade shapes, materials, and designs. Most gentlemen's knives are designed as two-handed knives. However, you will also find models designed as one-handed knives on Meister Messer.

Our online shop offers you a versatile selection of gentleman's knives. Our range includes both traditionals - classics that have been around for several decades - and modern designs. The models of German knife manufacturers such as Herbertz and Böker are very popular, known for craftsmanship and traditional production methods. We also carry men's knives with Japanese blades.

Our knives are made of different quality steels. From a visual perspective, Damascus steel is of course the eye-catcher par excellence, but a blade with a stonewash finish also has a lot to offer. As for the handle material, you also have a free choice. We offer models with wooden handles - for example made of olive, bog oak or snake wood - as well as gentleman's knives with a handle made of stag horn, titanium or composite materials like G10 and Micarta.

Different systems are used as locking mechanisms depending on the model. The so-called Slipjoint locking mechanism is considered a classic. At the end of the blade's spine, a spring is attached, which holds the blade in the open position. This type of lock is often used in two-handed knives. However, since a knife with a Slipjoint lock requires only slightly more force to fold the blade, it is not considered a locking knife. In some countries, although not in Switzerland, the lockability of a pocket knife blade directly affects the right to carry it. Among the "real" locking mechanisms, the Lock Back is most commonly used in two-handed pocket knives. Of course, other locking mechanisms such as Liner Lock or Frame Lock are also found in Gentleman's knives. However, these are mostly used in one-handed models.
