Fruit Knife Folding

Did men carry folding fruit knives in the Victorian era, or were they for ladies?
My boyfriend collects knives, and I love antiques from the Victorian era…but know nothing about knives and would like to buy one as a gift for him. I have found some beatiful silver, folding fruit knives with mother of pearl handles but many of them have women’s names engraved on them. I can’t find any information saying whether they were only carried by women or also for men. I would also appreciate tips on what to look for in a Victorian Pocket Knife since I know nothing about it.
Either sex could use them.
