Hey, those are neat Bruce!

Absolutely a pair of beautiful gents small daggers! WOW!

My impression of 'tactical' is different, though. It, indeed, is tactical, if you need to use it (as is a screwdriver, if that's handy), but what I'm getting at is that wouldn't be my first adjective to describe their distinction.

"Gent's Working Daggers?" Nahhh.:p Whatever you call them, they are really nicely made. Nice work on the sheaths, Bruce.

Nice, Bruce. My favorite size! :)

Thanks for the kind words everybody..

Bruce, nice indeed, but are the gents knives or garter knives?

They can actually go either way...They are small enough to fit in the garter but also small enough to fit in the breast pocket of a business suit.And since ladies don't wear garters anymore they wouldnt wear them that way anyways.These are original German designs of Knives I only used the price style spear point to keep them politicaly correct instaed of the Dagger and dirk Blades that they originaly came with...
I figured that thw ladies would like the flashier ones and the men the more robust ones.But since I have been showing them off it is about a 50-50 split each likes both.The ladies have found all kinds of places they could tuck one away at and the men have also..I am going to start carrying one of these myself as I always leave the bigger knife at home when I go out to dinner with my wife...

Donna did pose for pictures with them in the top lace of a set of Thigh high stockings and they worked great.But that was just for a size referance.If you would like to see these pictures go to:
