This Lehman’s Grandpa’s Small Dress Knife is the proper inheritance pocket knife — the compact 3-blade dress knife with the kind of build quality and visual character a grandfather would carry his whole working life and then hand to a grandchild. The blue-green abalone shell handle is unusually beautiful; under the right light it shifts color like the inside of a seashell, and no two handles are alike.
Three stainless steel blades fold into a 2-1/8 inch closed body — a sheepsfoot blade for general cutting, a spey blade for finer work, and a clip blade for the precision point. Each is approximately 1 inch long, which is the right scale for a dress knife (small enough to ride in a coin pocket, sharp enough to do real cutting work). Smooth brass terminals finish each end of the handle.
This is the kind of pocket knife to wear in dress slacks rather than work jeans — beautiful enough to admire, useful enough to actually use, durable enough to last a working lifetime. Lehman’s catalog selection for the heirloom-knife collector or anyone who wants a pocket knife with character.
