Just scored a CRK&T Folts (wharncliff). Looking forward to getting it this week. I would love to see pics of other neck knives both production and customs.

My 450 ZT came with the Zydex sheath on the secondary market.

Nice! I like this picture of your small fixed blades. Looks like they all have blade lengths of under 3 inches?

I have a bunch of 3" fixed blades. I'll post later.

That's correct, they're all 3" or under, with all but a couple of them being under. The only fixed blade with a greater than 3" blade (besides a rusted-to-oblivion KaBar that I found) that I have is this one by Long Dog Knives, but it's going to be a gift for someone: https://instagram.com/p/65OWkZR9Ts/?taken-by=brancron

Well now you just made me want 15 more fixed blades!

So you like the Spyderco Ark? I've been considering that one, actually.
 
I did a review on the ARK in the reviews subforum you might wanna check...
edit for pics: Mine is holding up great!

And to the OP...I really, really dig my CRKT too. This and the ARK are undoubtedly my two favorite neck knives. Absolute winners...!

Ark feels really good in the hand and with H-1 rust-proof stainless steel no maintenance.

If you could label your 20+ small fixed blade knives in that picture with four rows that'd be great.

I'll post a picture of my 15 soon.

That's a very nice collection of about 30 fixed blade knives with a blade length of 3 inches or less! :thumbup:

It's amazing that there's a tremendous variety and selection of knives available even within a niche subset of fixed blade knives with blade lengths of 3 inches or less!

Blade Forums' own Knifemakers' Market is full of amazing custom fixed blade makers.

I look forward to seeing yours!
 
My meager collection... ironically enough they both have beer opening capabilities:D
