About Gentleman's Pocket Knives
Gentleman's pocket knives for sale at Warborn Blades — the smallest steel we keep, deep in the hall where the light is thin. A gentleman's knife is a slip-joint with a short blade, a slim handle, and a build that disappears into a waistcoat pocket. It is the pattern that does not announce itself.
When choosing a small folder, the steel and the walk are what matter. The walk — how the blade opens and closes under the spring's tension — should be firm and crisp, with a half-stop that protects the blade's edge. Blade steels range from carbon for a patina that deepens with age to stainless for a finish that stays bright.
Every piece in this hall is held by a licensed dealer and ships from the United States.

Questions at the Door
- What gentleman's pocket knives does Warborn Blades carry?
- 248 pieces stand in The Small Folders today — gentleman's knives and everyday folders. Steel that folds to the pocket yet stands a true hand of blade. Carried without ceremony, trusted without question. Every piece is held by Warborn Blades as a licensed dealer of melee arms and armor, and ships from the United States.
- How much do gentleman's pocket knives cost?
- In this hall the crown runs from $114.99 to $2,054.99, with the middle of the rack near $139.99. Every price shown is the price paid — no hidden dues are added at the vow beyond lawful sales tax and carriage.
- How long are these pieces?
- They measure 2.5" to 6.2" overall. Each ware page states its own reach; where a measure was not given by the forge, we say plainly that our reckoning is an estimate rather than pretend to a number we were not told.
- Do I have to be eighteen to buy?
- Yes. Warborn Blades sells edged and impact arms only to buyers eighteen years or older, and the gate verifies age before any steel is shown. Some states and cities restrict particular patterns; the buyer is responsible for the law where the parcel lands.
- What if the steel arrives damaged or is not what I wanted?
- Unblooded steel may be sent back within 30 days of arrival. There is never a restocking toll — the full price of the piece comes back to you. The road home is yours to pay, unless the piece came to harm on the road, was faulty, or was not what you ordered; then the house bears the carriage both ways. Speak to the Steward's Ear and a return writ is issued the same hour, or call the house at 1-800-368-8131.
