BK14 Handle Up Neck Carry w Factory Sheath

[FreebornErik]

Hey Freeborn.....

I have never had an issue carrying the 11 or 14 with the stock sheath in handle up position........The lanyard as shown by Vik is comfy(twice the surface area around your neck means half the pressure) and if you need it there is always his clever leather fix.......I know I come at this with some built in bias but, I think you will find the 14/24 to be an amazingly capable knife.......Btw I agree with your carry analyses about 100%.......The small blade around the neck is best.......Soooo handy!!!!!.....

Thanks for your post......

Yup, I really prefer neck carry, though local legal restrictions on fixed blade carry prevent me from adopting it for edc (no concealed fixed blades here). I do use it open carry in the field. I only opt for belt carry when bow hunting.

A few years back I changed to a break free knot, its pretty simple, an overhand loop around a bight, when tied correctly with 550 cord it will free itself with about a 20~25 lb. jerk, or about 30 lbs. of continuous pressure. If it breaks free too soon... just make sure to take the slack out of the bight, you may need to add a couple of wraps to the overhand loop.

I'm pretty sure I'll grab a 24 when they hit the streets... and just maybe an 11 while I wait.

I just noticed... not only do we agree on neck carry, but you just might be the first person I've ever met that uses more ellipses than I do.
