Elk Ridge The Gentleman Pocket Knife | SHOGUN

The Gentleman by Elk Ridge – Stylish pocket knife for the modern gentleman

The Gentleman by Elk Ridge is a refined pocket knife that combines traditional elegance with everyday functionality. This compact folding knife features a droppoint blade of 7 cm in 3Cr13 stainless steel and a slipjoint locking mechanism. Perfect for EDC use or as a collector’s item for the modern gentleman.

Experience from the Shogun team

We used this pocket knife daily for a week. We noticed how smoothly the knife opens and how comfortably it carries in the pocket thanks to its light weight of just 97 grams.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The 3Cr13 steel is a reliable choice for beginners – it stays reasonably sharp and is easy to sharpen. This knife cuts effortlessly through rope, cardboard, and food. The plain-edge cutting edge makes maintenance simple, although for heavier cutting tasks you will need to sharpen it regularly.

Grip and ease of use

The grey handle feels comfortable in the hand with an ergonomic grip. The slipjoint mechanism works safely but requires some practice to open. The balance is good for a knife of this size, although it lacks a pocket clip.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

Perfect for the gentleman looking for a stylish EDC pocket knife. Also suitable for beginners who want a reliable first knife. Collectors will appreciate the classic droppoint design and traditional appearance.

Maintenance and durability

The stainless steel requires little maintenance – wiping it dry after use is usually sufficient. A drop of oil on the hinge keeps the slipjoint smooth. The 3Cr13 is softer than premium steel, but with normal use this knife will last for years.
