Buck Hartsook Neck Knife

[Jake Bauer]

Hey Guys,

I was recently on a Canoe trip without any pockets to put a knife into. I used to have a CRKT neck knife but sold it because I didn't think it was very useful to me. After this trip, my mind has been changed.

I've been looking at the Hartsook for a while and I thought "S30V for 22 bucks? Can't beat that!"

Have any of yall owned this knife that can share their oppinion of it before I order one? One specific detail I'd like to know is if the blade is a V grind or a chisel grind. (my crkt neck knife was a chisel and I hated it)

Thanks

When he means small. He means small. Way to small for me. I personally think that you look into a good folder. Or maybe a CRKT dog fish or River Kat. I know Buck make a Kaala that in S30V. I love my Dogfish from CRKT. Small and very sharp.( I had to resharpen it to my liking)

When GEC says, small, way too small, he means it. I have described it in the past to as the backup to the backup knife. Its very cool, its S30V, Bos HT, and 20 bucks. Get it, its fun, but don't expect to do anything too stringent with it. Not real comfortable to cut with either because it doesn't really have any grip to speak of. I carry it in the top of my Tilley (hat) though and you never would know its there.

A bit too teeny for me, but I'd sure carry it in a pinch. Certainly, the quality is top notch.
