Wow, i could not be more in love with the look and design of this. My only question is how do you think the leather handle will hold up?
i know they can take regular abuse, but could the addition of regular abuse and sweat and moisture against the body under clothing affect it's lifespan in any major way?
i hope not, because it looks great to me.

Now that's a real slick piece of work! Never really seen an inverted carry necker that didn't look space-age tactical. :cool: :thumbup:
 
Very cool man! I'd say toss the paracord and put some leather cords in their place. Love this one!
 
Very nice, I love it. I have a similar size/shape Livesay NRGS that I have used for years. That is a high class rendition of a very practical knife. Mac
 
I didn't know you could hammer feces.

Good work Rick - you have proven me wrong again.





















Seriously dude - it is hot. I love the look. I am not sure it is a user for me - but I think you cater to a group of people that like this look - like the finish - and like how you make it. I think in this respect there are a lot fewer of you out there than the stock removal types - and that is no offense to any group.

Kudos mate.

Man that is exactly what I see when I think about a neck knife. Nothing wrong with it at all. I say keep that design the way it is and don't change a thing.
 
Rick,

Will your design be able to "break away" if snagged? I would worry if it got caught on something. Just asking. I enjoy seeing your work. Great workmanship!
