Not really an in depth review, but I wore my becker necker all weekend at a fishing camp. I like a necker for when I'm wearing a tshirt and swim trunks.
The becker necker is a fairly substantial necker, the weight was not really a problem as far as the weight around the neck. But it was heavy enough that teh kydex sheath was abrasive on the skin in the quite hot weather. My cold steel bird and trout is much lighter and probably would have done perfectly for the things I ended up using the becker for, but the becker seems to be more all around useful.
The black lanyard that it comes with puts the knife at a nice level for comfort and access, but it was a little noticeable. I might change to a bead cord or a lighter weight paracord.
The knife didn't cut much more than a few bags, some plastic packages and some fishing line, but it did so as easily as you'd hope. The handle, about which there have been many complaints was fine for this light cutting.
I did get some stares when the guys forgot their cigar cutters and asked if anybody had a knife. I reached up under my shirt, and "click" pulled out the becker. They appreciated how sharp it was, even if they now think I'm some kind of a knife knut, which I am.
Sorry I probably should have put this in knife reviews and testing. I don't know who to move it. Thanks.
