Folks -- I'm still in the market for an inexpensive neck knife. I just found a Newt Lindsay G-45 neck knife made of 1095 tool steel, paracord wrapped handle, partly serrated blade, and with a kydex sheath -- all for $20 at Close Quarters Solution ( www.closequarters.com ). Should I grab one?

I need one right now. This looks like a good buy to me. I'm surprised I hadn't seen this site recently. It's got a link from Newt Livesay's site.

I'm ordering one. Thanks for posting the site.

Well, I ordered the G-45. They have an 888 number for ordering. I used that number because their secure server won't be up for a couple more weeks. Their hours are 9:00AM to 6:00PM Pacific Standard Time.

I've had my eye on that neck knife for at least a year or so. About time I got it.

Titan,

Are you talking about the "WOO KNIFE" ?
Let me know. I was surfing today and found
a photo of a Laci Szabo neck knife for $75.00
Not cheap but very usable. A curved handle
with a 3" double edged blade. This design
would work well for slashing and thrusting
without slipping out of your hands.
Unfortunately AOL cut me off. I can't access
the site anymore. Does anyone out there know
about the knife I'm talking about? If Szabo
has a web site can somEone let me know. I
haven't been able to find it on my server.

Thanks,

No, Sal, the Woo is different. You might want to check Close Quarter Solution's site at the URL I wrote above.

Bob -- I'd be very interested if you write a mini-review on your G-45. I'll wait for it, ok?
 
Titan,

Be glad to. I've had a stiff kiss for quite awhile. I like the stiff kiss a lot because it's decent steel at a very low cost. Any review I do will make some comparisons between these two neck knives.
 
Titan,
Also take a look at the Outdoor Edge "Wedge". For me, it's the ideal size and weight for a neck knife. Plus, it's under $20.

I have several of the Wicked Knives (bought them from www.edgy-tools.com)great price on the knives, seems to be a good value. They are inexpensive, hold an edge well and the kydex is first rate. Got my vote for the inexpensive knives class.
 
okay, looked for a long time, but couldn't find it. could someone post the URL for Laci Szabo's site?

thanks.

Stay Sharp,
Joe S.
 
I just visited the CQS website and have decided to order a Executive Woo and a G-45. At $22 I don't see how I could go wrong. A small inexpensive neck knife is just what I have been looking to take to Central America.
 
Sal, I know what your talking about, I traded the Szabo Mini UUK last year. It wasn't my style.

Joe, there is no URL for Laci. Just the P.O.Box number deal at Knifecenter.
 
DEFINITELY get a knife from Newt! (Just replace the parachute cord with breakaway unless you want to be garroted.) He stands behind his products. I believe I am going to be sending my cherished Woo to my little brother and ordering one of his newer or updated models of neck knife.
 
Hey, if y'all are looking for perhaps the ultimate hideout, sure look at Newt Livesay's Woo or SOP, but I just bought one of his NRG (Energy!) neck carry specials and not only was it $20.00, but it is also not made of metal. Including the sheath the rig weighs about 1 ounce and will apparently puncture a car door. It is also designed to snap at the handle juncture if one gives it a sharp jerk to the side, leaving a nasty item inside your target. Sold for informational purposes only, of course. Tell Newt I sent you. I own several of his pieces now and will be procuring a coupl more soon.

On the subject of Outdoor Edge's wedge, it tends to slip around in my hand and I do not like this tendency in any razor sharp knife. You do get a hell of a good bargain for, in my case, eleven dollars. Nice sheath design, but the handle needs some sort of heavy duty texturing.

I've seen the NRG. Nifty design(I think Phil@edgy-tools.com had some awhile back). It isn't really made to cut very much. I believe its made out of G10, so I imagine you can sharpen it with a fingernail file, or alittle sandpaper. I doubt you could get much of an edge on it, but no telling. The NRG is better then the Cold Steel CAT tanto, but not as good as a MadDog Frequent Flyer. Hope this helps.
