Maybe I'm dreaming, but I wish I could find a little necker that I could wear OUTSIDE my shirt because it didn't look like a knife but just like a decoration or odd jewlery or something.

I've seen people wear some odd things around their neck as jewlery and they never seem to attract attention; like seashells, polished stones, shark's teeth, small furry animals, things made of bone, skulls, medallions, BIG crosses...

Anyone know of some kind of incognito neck knife that can be work outside the shirt?
 
i wear my Camillus Arclite outside of my shirt, and it rarely attracts much attention... only a couple ppl have realized what it was... this is due mainly to the cord-wrap...

if you could find something fairly symmetrical and cord-wrapped, i think you could fix up the sheath a little bit so you could make it look decorative...
 
Or stick it in a head of garlic and say you're warding off vampires.

THAT should discourage closer examination.

:D
 
I agree. This is something I have thought about as well. I saw an Indian Medicine Bag once (ebay,probably still there) that carried a little fixed blade. A custom knife could have a matching handle and sheath to look like a cross maybe? I think there may be a niche for the right artist, make the kydex a leaf, the handle the stem? Great chance for something different.
 
I sort of envision a flinty thing in the shape of a moon or arrow head or yin/yan or equivalent with a sharpened edge on the non draw hand.
I guess it'd have to be sheathed somehow.
It doesn't have to look like a blade or a traditional sheath. Just a covering for the sharpened edge.
It'd need a positive push with thumb to disengage like snug kydex.

Here in Caliphony, it is against the LAW to have anything sharp around your neck.

Probably to make sure everyone knows our legislators don't have anything sharp ABOVE their necks.

You're right. It's not my style, but that's the idea anyhow.

I'm not a Christian, but I like the leaf idea. I'm sure there's no end to the possibilities once someone takes up the project of making things like this.
A LOT of people WOULD buy the cross idea, though, if somebody started making them.

With the variety of handle materials like bone, stone, etc. it'd be easy to make the KNIFE look like a shell or something. I think it's the SHEATH that needs the most work.

If you had a small knife with stone handle, stuffed into a leather-covered kydex sheath that might do it. Of course, any sheath could be decorated...

The sheaths just need to get smaller and be shaped like a continuation of the handle and we'd be set.
 
How about a Spyderco Police necklace knife? If you want to go custom, I believe that it is Chavez that makes some beautiful neckers as does Jot Singh Khalsa.

I think California and Massachusetts ban any knife that's disguised not to look like a knife, like a blade hidden in a pen or a comb handle or a lipstick tube.

You want a knife that looks like a cross, check out the Dalton Crusader, an OTF, yet! You'd have to rig some way to hang it around your neck, but that shouldn't be hard. I don't find the idea particularly appropriate myself.

The Elven Spike is the way to go, unless you live in a jurisdiction where push daggers are restricted. Grover Cephas, have you got one of those you could bring to an NJKCA meeting?

Aren't we allowed to have any fun at all? :D
 
RJ Martins Combat neck knife hides in plain sight. About 7" OAL, it is made of solid A2 steel with handle cord wrapped and is housed in a section of hollow aluminum arrow shaft. Cord wrap suspends the knife from the neck. The color scheme are a blend of earthtones and appears to be customary jewelry originating from an African culture.

I think these are discontinued as they do not appear in his website.

'Fraid not. I'm _way_ too snobbish to buy a knife from a company called "Axtion Bladez Conceptz", even if I _did_ like the style ;)

Genevieve does have a "Silverleaf" knife, thogh. It's a tang-extension friction floder that looks like a leaf when closed, and hangs from a split ring through the tang. Cheap as dirt, but it's reasonably ergonomoc for me, anyway:

I'll be happy to mention it to her if anybody wants to see it.
 
How about a CRKT Snap Lock? I don't know anything about it except from what I read at agrussell.com.

You might check out RW Clark's Mini-Aikuchi. I have one with a wharncliffe blade and not only is it a useful little knife, it's really low key, even hanging outside one's shirt. I don't think that Ron's taking orders these days, but BladeArt often has some of his knives in stock.
