CRKT Neck PECK

[Quiet Storm]

Hi folks!

I wanna to give you a short review on one of my favorite knives: the CRKT Neck PECK.

As I first saw it in a catalog I thought: it does not even have a real handle, nor a useful blade length. Then I took a closer look and found out how nice this lil tool is.

So I bought it.

And I bought another one.

Until like one week ago I was proud owner of two PECKs, but I gave one to my best female friend - she liked it since she first held it in her hand. And I´m sure: many more non-knife women (she ain´t a knife person) would appreciate the design. Unbelievably light-weight, small, but the blade´s still long enough to do average cutting jobs.
The sheath is nice although it´s "just" Zytel, not Kydex. You don´t even notice it while wearin´ it around your neck, flat, short and light-weight (as mentioned above).
The Wharncliffe blade is very suitable for this knid of knife. It offers a nice tip and a straight edge - which I prefer over other designs when it comes to finer cutting jobs.
Yeah, the steel´s definitely not great (I´m not a big resharpening fan), but what do you expect from such a low-cost knife?
My suggestion:
Show it to your wives, girlfriends etc. and let ´em open a few letters, cut a few boxes with it. I´m sure they´ll like it.

What are your experiences with this knife?

I've had one for about three years. I used to carry it at work around my neck, but after 9/11 the company got a little nervous about fixed blade anything. I found it to be very useful and quick. It cut through most of the stuff I needed it to; seat belts, light rope, tape, etc. I've resharpened it many times on my Spyderco Tri-Angle. A good little knife!

I own several neck knives, and I wear my neck peck almost daily, it just seems to do everything I ask of it. I have no complaint about the steel, it doesnt have a speck of rust, and for such a small knife, it really doesn't see that much hard work. I sharpen it once a month maybe, and use it every day.

...thought it would be nice to share

i guess this post is sort of about the sharpness of the Neck Peck?
i was playing around with it and it accidentally slipped out of my hands, heading fast and straight for my foot!

that baby sliced through my hard leather shoes like butter...

but i agree, it is very light and it feels really nice in my hands, but a neck knife is not exactly what i'm looking for right now.. but who knows?
