I like neck knives, have a few. If I never drove a car or wore a seatbelt that happened to press the razor sharp blade right up to my heart, I would still wear them. I'm pretty sure a neck knife would pop out of kydex if put under the stress of a car accident. I don't need that extra problem, should a car accident ever occur.
 
I have a Buck Hartsook, and a Bark Mikro-Slither.

The Hartsook in my emergency gear, is on a neck chain with a whistle and small flashlight.
I could see using it in a blackout situation, when I did rescue.
And for the price, I am happy to let it just sit.

The Bark Mikro-Slither is very pretty in Blaze Orange, and for the price, I just wish I could figure what to do with it!!
 
tried it. didn't like it.

the mora frost clipper doesn't make for a good neck knife (even ignoring the "falling out the sheath" aspect, fixed that with insulation tape)

I prefer it on a string 'sholder holster' like the MercHarness it's more comfortable. also it puts it just above my t-shirt waist line, so grabbing it is easy.
 
I see there are lot's of Folk's carrying Neck Knive's, And some Real Nice Knive's being shown under this Topic, Thank's to everyone for sharing picture's of your Neck Knive's, The next one I get will be more of a Combat Style, I see on some of the Bigger Knife Dealer Web-Site's there's quite a few to select from, Take Care All !
 
I have carried the same neck knife for the past 6 years. An Emerson Lagriffe. I never think of it as a quick draw knife. More like in an extreme emergency where I am deprived of my several other easier to access tools.:D
 
Neck carry is more of a stash than a carry . Its pretty hard to precisley orient , specially if you get knocked on your kiester . It can work ok for females , who can pass the cord/chain under the bra . A nurse of my aquaintance wears a La Griffe that way , under scrubs .

Its handy as hell for fly fishing in waders . Its a good idea in the bush , as you instantly feel the lack of weight . In an outdoor context , I carry tip down , or else stash a SAK on a neck lanyard .

To me the most convenient (and, yes, fastest draw) is an upside-down strong side belt carry. I'm surprised it isn't more popular- the knife is right at hand, and can easily be drawn and resheathed without it even being seen. It doesn't make you get in any awkward positions to draw, and is very awkward for anyone else to draw.

Think about this in comparison to a normal right-side up carry- it is actually easier for someone standing behind you to draw your knife than it is for you. Also, it is very easy for someone to either stop your draw, or use your "elbow-next-to-ear" position against you. An exposed neck knife would also be very easy for someone else to draw.

I carried my RAT3 under t shirt when I was station overseas, where a knife clipped in your pocket was a little out of place. I found that it was easily accessable with both hands and also provided a great alternative when mountain biking because my shorts did not have pockets. I carry a spyderco native in a concealex neck sheath as a back up under my OTV. Other than that I prefer pocket carry. I will keeping a close eye on the new RAT Cutlery necker, will have to get one those when they come out.
