Anyone Carry a Neck-Knife?

Post by GSPTOPDOG »

In wintertime I tend to carry a Neck-Knife more often than in the summer as multiple layers of clothing make it more comfortable for me. Over the years I HAVE accumulated a few. I probably could get by with just one... ::skeptic:: just like I could eat just one potato chip (or drink one beer ::facepalm:: ).

I used to when I had a Gerber Frisco Shiv that was designed by Blackie Collins. It had a lever latch to keep it in the sheath upside down. Unfortunately I traded the knife away for something, kick kick myself

Here is a Rich Greenwood* neck-knife that I bought from him several years ago. It is a super solid piece. ::nod::

*Rich Greenwood is a local blade smith in my town that gained national fame as a two time finalist on the History Channel's Forged in Fire TV show. He has a blacksmith/knife forging school in Tucson, AZ.

Very cool, Scott. A knife is a handy thing to always have when you need it.


Thanks, Dan and GSP. ::handshake:: It is/was a cool release by Ka-Bar. ::nod::

::tu:: Nice Scott! The advantage of a neck knife is that you can draw it pretty fast from a seated position, so I like to carry one on road trips. It is perfect as a back-up when seated in a vehicle. I just picked up two, a CRKT and one also made from a file.

Stay safe out there and watch your 6! :wink:

I've had a couple of the Gerber neck knives. They seemed like a good idea at the time, but couldn't get used to something around my neck.

I tend to wear them more in wintertime when I have more heavy clothing on, you don't feel the knife rubbing against you so much... ::paranoid::
