Looking for a neck-carry "shiv" type implement

KFLEISIG said:
Are you always such an ******* or have you just not been getting any lately? I believe the saltwater referance was topical because he will want something that is not going to rust due to sweat. The Cold Steel spike fits the requirements quite well. It is certainly a "shiv", won't rust, and is easily affordable. Maybe you should stick to offering beneficial advice rather than jumping on other people who try to contribute. In most places, a fixed blade does require a permit to be carried concealed. If that is not the case in MN, you can politely point that out. By the way Mr. Knowitall, he no longer lives in MN as it turns out, but rather TN, where it could undeed be illegal:

39-17-1307. Unlawful carrying or possession of a weapon.

(a) (1) A person commits an offense who carries with the intent to go armed a firearm, a knife with a blade length exceeding four inches (4"), or a club.

why wouldnt a CS spike rust?? i have one and am not nutz about it for sure, oh for the $$ its "OK" i guess but i woulnt ever carry one, dont like the handle/or really anything about it, doesnt make it bad though, different strokes for different folks, its why we have chocalate and vanilla/etc.

imho a fixed blade, with a 4" or so blade does not require a permit in most states, & most states with a CCW permit the permit covers firearms only, not knives. in TX ya can carry a FB concealed or not as long as its not over 5.5", and if ya have a TX CCW ya still cant carry over 5.5" , autos, daggers/etc. the law ya quote says a FB under 4" would be ok,

ya dont have to curse at folks either, just isnt cool imho.

imho the best knife like ya'll are talking about would be either one of nealys knives or a livesay woo if ya can find one.
 
Gentlebeings, let's all take a deep breath and pause a moment to see if we can remember what we're talking about. Is this really something to get all upset about and have a big argument?

My apologies for cursing. The Cold Steel spike I was refering to was the Zytel version Peacefull sugested, which the Rat felt the need to insult. The 4" blade length limit came from a section of TN law found on the link provided by a previous poster http://pweb.netcom.com/~brlevine/tn.txt, as the original poster specified that is where he is now living.

You have proven only that you are clueless(and probably failed to even read any part of the thread. Nice personal attack :jerkit:
I have offered suggestions, something you have yet to do.:rolleyes:

And you are completely wrong in your ASSumption about permits being required for fixed blades in most places.

BTW- explain to me how the Ti Spike I suggested is going to rust. :rolleyes:

Go crawl back in your hole.

No, in fact YOU are wrong. I know that a CCW permit is required for a fixed blade where I live. Oh, and guess what? There is a length limit in TN, where the original poster now lives. How about that. Regarding the Ti Spike, I never said that it would rust. My point was that the Cold Steel Zytel Spike would not rust, and fit the requirements quite well, but for some reason you thought it beneficial to criticize Peacefull for sugesting it.

Perhaps YOU should return to your hole. And fill it in behind you.

Sorry about the argument, but when someone like Rat Finkenstein is criticizing everyone elses posts, I have a hard time ignoring it.

Well, who knows, or cares where you live? :rolleyes:
Just because the area where you live has crappy and unusual laws, that somehow has significance to this thread?
Hardly.
You are still wrong, since the "laws" you are talking about do not apply to the original poster, or myself.
I swear it seems like you and "angryjeffy" are one and the same. you both make the same meaningless and off-topic arguments.

:yawn:

Kinda like what Cold Steel is selling in their spike line-up, only with a better sheath and steel. Something simple and small, no frills. Upper limit: ideally, 100 bucks.

Thanks for the ideas, links especially welcome. :D

How about a pointed kubaton and have someone make a custom kydex neck sheath for it?

How much are those Hinderer Modular kubatons? Wasn't there some aluminum ones?

The two I bought are aluminum, from a martial arts supply house(I think they were around $10 each, they feel solid and well made). I gave one to my little sister to keep with her when she's out joggin/walking. Here are some higher quality models.

Alas, you have failed to grasp the substance of the post once again. :confused: Did you even read it? The relevence of the laws where I live is to provided an example of the fact that in many places, a shiv type of blade would not be legal. Whether or not the specified laws apply to you is in fact meaningless, as this thread is not about you. However, they certainly do apply to the original poster. The copy of law included in my previous post is specific to TN where the original poster now lives, where it is illegal to carry a knife with a blade length greater than 4". This legal length limit is quite topical to the subject in that the original poster will have to keep length in mind when making his selection.
Meaningless and off topic? No, I don't think so.

You have failed basic reading and comprehension.
Nobody suggested any knife with a blade over 4 inches.

You haven't even mentioned once where you live, but you drone on with your cautionary tale about the possibility of "shiv" type weapons being illegal in select areas. (just not any area discussed in this thread):rolleyes:
 
Gentlebeings, the extraneous portions of the discussion here should move to email.
 
I think the CCW permit can be useful in a way. Although they do not apply to knives, they could potentially sway a police officer your way, especially if you have taken the care to be calm, respectful and kind.
Think about it: a cop can look at you as a relative unknown with a knife, or, as a defense-aware citizen who went through the background check, filled out all the paperwork, is not a felon...etc, and cops do have a lot of discretion.

Thanks for the ideas, again.
 
CCWs don't have anything to do with knives anyway. I don't know why you guys are even mentioning them. If you have a concealed carry permit you can only carry a gun concealed, and it has to be the exact handgun registered on the permit. It doesn't let you carry auto knives or fixed blades. It only lets you carry the specific gun you have on the concealed permit.

This is an old thread from back in July.

Although in most states the letter of the CCW law says nothing about knives, no DA wants to stand up in front of the television cameras and say, "We don't mind the large-capacity 9mm pistol he was carrying; that's perfectly legal. We are prosecuting him because his pocketknife is half an inch too long."
