Best neck knife for me

[jsciii]

I'm looking for a neck knife that is: Single edged, fairly big (7" or more), fairly thin, well shaped handle, a decent sheath, and relatively cheap. I've tried a couple production knives and am not happy with what found so far. I've surfed the net found it very disappointing in the production neck knives available. I've considered custom but don't want to spend a lot of money (> $100).

Any recommendations?

Thanks....JohnC

7in blade or overall?

Have you looked at the Becker Necker BK 11?

7 inch or longer total length, something I can hold well in my hand.

I looked at the becker but did not like the skeletonized handle. I'd like some kind of scales though thin.

I've tried the CRKT River F4 Carson neck knife and liked the handle but the overall knife is too small (handle only has three finger wrap).

I've tried the S&W dagger and that has a nice handled but a dagger blade does not make a good neck knife....

Take a look at the Buck Mayo/Kaala.

6.5", S30V Paul Boss Heat Treat with the Buck lifetime warranty. Hard to go wrong on this one.

I have heard good thing about the cold steel spike. They are cheap and seem to fit your requirements!

Get a Becker BK11 and wrap it with paracord. Still thin and feels good in the hand.

Thanks all for the excellent advice.

I've decided to give the Cold Steel K4 Neck Knife a try. It's cheap and big. I may also give the Becker a try. It would be my first attempt at paracord wrapping so am a bit hesitant...
