I thought it may be cool to see all of the varieties of neck knives people are carrying.

It never ceases to amaze me how cool and functional a little neck knife can be. I always have one with me when I'm not at work and they usually see more activity that my folders.

It's also a great way to buy customs, often at production prices.

Here's my collection, and all of them see a good deal of use.

(well, the top one just came today, but will see plenty of use!)


Top to bottom

Kit Carson Custom Small F4

I've got a Dozier Razorback, a Tomey wharncliffe Thumb Tac, 2 Simonich mid-tech Crowfoots (crowfeet? ;)), a damascus necker from Jim Downie, and this one, which sees more time around my neck than all the others combined:

R.W. Clark wharncliffe mini-MAU (photo borrowed from BladeArt.com), 1 3/4" zone hardened O1 blade, 4 1/2" overall.
 
I tired to avoid the whole neck knife fad, but then Darrel sent me this.

Then when James Mattis died I bought this in his memory.

Next came a gift from my buddy Don Eargle, a one of a kind.

Finally the only production neck knife I own, great little knife.

PhilL, that mini puukko looks very nice. Where did you get it?
Click to expand...

I bought it from the maker at New York Custom Knife Show, Nov. 2000. You're right, it is a nicely made knife. I had no idea what a Puukko was before I heard James Matiis mention them.
 
My only neck knife for the time being is a Mad Dog Mirage X Mini-Operator. This will replace my Crawford titanium KFF style neck knife, currently being sold in the custom area.
 
I have a few:

Cold Steel Bird and Trout in carbon V
SAK Trailmaster
SAK Rucksack (both in Normark's fine neck rigs)
and soon it'll be the SAK Camper when my next Normark shipment arrives.
 
I'm sorry guys. Anytime I get a neck knife I have a habit of photographing it around a better neck than my own. I don't think they would weant me to post those shots on this forum.
 
Well, here is the neck knife shelf from my knife cabinet. As you can see, I like that Native look!

Yes, Chisel, I like that piece too! What, who, where, how much?
Sorry, no photos, but...

* Webb and Fisher Wharnie, sharpest knife I own, perfect for everything
* Smith and Wesson drop point, inexpensive impulse buy, not bad at all.
* Gary Bradburn (borderline neck) great knife, might sell just 'cuz I don't carry or use it, D2, but don't know if 7" overall qualifies as neck or too big.
