Inexpensive Neck knife

For me to order an Arclite with the better sheath or the BK-11 is around a $20 CAD price difference including taxes and shipping.

Kinda hard to decide which to go with now.

Which is lighter and has a lower profile? Which is better for self defence?

Thanks.
 
I have a "Ol' Glory" Arclite, and while it has a nice flat profile, I'd recommend wrapping the handle in something (I used rawhide lace, you could use paracord, etc) if you want this as a "self-defense" knife. Personally I think it works better with the handle wrapped for everyday use, anyway. The skeletal handle is too thin to use for long periods without something to "bulk it up", and the rawhide or paracord doesn't add any noticable bulk if you're trying to conceal.
The Arclite seems about the same weight as other neckers I've got, except for the CS Paraedge tanto, which is the lightest, but it's also fallen free of the sheath while carrying when it got knocked or brushed against something!
:eek: NOT something you want to have happen everyday!
