Not working a full time job for the past month has really allowed me to catch up on things. The American Ninja model and name evolved from friends and other knife enthusiasts. I wasn't wild about the name at first but it just seemed to stick! Naturally, the smaller version HAD be be called the Neck Ninja
3 5/8" blade 7 1/2" OAL!!
When I first developed the American Ninja (5" bladed version) my goal was to put as much blade length in the shortest overall length as possible. This was accomplished by putting the integral finger guard as close to the blade as possible and using the recurve blade shape. The same principals were used in
the design of the Neck Ninja. I try to make my knives as light as possible, especially neck knives. The Neck Ninja is made from 1/8" D2 material with 11 holes drilled in the tang, under the Ti. panels, to reduce weight. The blade is double ground to a thin edge, as thin as the edges on my hunters! The point is similar to my tactical models. The top false edge/bevel is ground to leave as much material on the point as possible. The standard model above features a hand rubbed finish, thumb serrations, rainbow anodized Ti. panels with what I call "reverse bubbles" , epoxy coated cord wrap and comes with a Kydex one piece neck sheath. The scan above doesn't show the top edge very well and the "bubbles" REAAALLY stand out on the anodized panels!!! Good pics coming SOON!!!!
