Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I have an Eye-brand sodbuster which is more rustic and not the highest level of fit and finish. Excellent steel though and if someone wanted to rehandle a folder it's be an great candidate.
The other half of the time I carry a victorniox Electrician plus, I think it's discontinued now, it's basically a Farmer with the can opener switched for a sheepsfoot blade.

A couple real beauties salad!
topknot, the stockman pattern is hard to beat, imo, and those look like excellent examples. That Remington looks like it has carbon blades eh?
I have a nice Boker I carry off and on as well.

No idea if this counts as a Gents folder, but then I'm no gent.
It was my fathers EDC for something like fifty years and been mine for several now.
You can still buy them from the shop in Bosham my father bought this. I shall be buying my boys one each as they become responsible enough to own a knife.

Congratulations to the owners! But I have a question - what is a gents folder and how is it different from other folders?
A Schrade 960T...
Thanks to John Larsen over on BB I now know that the "Pin" is described in catalogs as a "Field Pick" although he is not sure what that is. Some folks think it could be used as a scribe, or a field expedient awl.

My latest, Victorinox sisters with new scales.
Did you do these as they are the first I recall seeing with the tweezers in.
Do they have the toothpic in as well.
If you did them how about tutorial.

I like that one very much, always need a pair of tweezers!
Yes I did them last week.
I did make a third pair and tried to put the tooth pick slot in, trouble was it leaves the scale vulnerable on that edge as it is very close to the cut-out for the corkscrew. I could have put the tooth pick slot on the opposite edge and that would have been OK.
As for a tutorial, there is one on British Blades site.
That guy used bone for scales whereas I used some hardwood from a box that I came across, think it is mango wood but I'm not sure, all the pieces on the box were different shades.
I have yet to polish them up properly as I put linseed oil on them.
The next ones I do I'm planning on using some seashell with oyster pattern if I can get some flat pieces.
Assuming you mean Cosco's Tut I have seen it but it does cover fitting tweezers. I have done a couple myself but wanted info on the tweezers
I don't know if it would be considered a gents folder or not but here's the one I carry, it's not very classy so I'd consider it more of an average pocket knife.
Sorry for the terrible picture
On the left a Case medium stockman with a pen blade in place of a spey and all the blades are CV steel (carbon), love it. I don't think the SAK would count but it happened to be in this old picture.
