REALLY COOL Neck Knife. What do you think?

Looks interesting. Don't know who useful it would be, or anything like that. Might be worth the $30 to give it a shot.
 
Cool design, but not very practical. Neck knives are mainly for SD not light utility work, which that cleaver shape won't be very good at. Cleavers are for chopping, think of them as a small axe almost. But for $30 who cares? :D
 
For the Tactical Chef:p

Looks neat but I would have to go with everyone else in that I would find it to be very impractical.

I disagree with Dylan_D. It may not be practical for HIM, but if you think you could use that shape or if you're perhaps a "metrosexual" and like to work in the kitchen, you might find it rather useful in your circle of friends and it might kill in the kitchen.

It DOES look very cool and interesting.

Just be careful. I've bought several neck knives recently and some of them can be uncomfortable and hot and sticky to wear which is a big deal.

You'll have to buy it and see how comfortable it is to wear. Some designers don't give comfort nearly enough consideration when designing a neck knife.
 
Cute. I have a little cheese knife, about the same size, of a similar design. Works well on small bricks of cheddar. Spreads butter, Cuts small rolls nicely. I could see hanging that one off a kitchen counter, if not off my neck. (I have a few neckers already!)

I don't really look to neck knives for self-defense. My Canemasters Triple Grip is so much more effective :D But I almost always wear a mini neck knife for general utility. That one would work fine.

A cheese knife neck knife... ("cute").
You're making fun aren't you?;)

That's OK. Different people have different uses for knives.

I suppose someone could find a use for a butter-knife neck knife. If they have a use for that and can make a neck knife out of one, then more power to them!

Who are WE to say what someone should use a neck knife for?:D
 
I found nothing likeable about the knife.
I don't care for the handle at all -- I prefer either metal or polymer-type handles, not natural (i.e. bone, wood, leather, etc.).

I don't like the narrow, uh, what do you call where the blade narrows to meet the handle? It may be strong but the look is flimsy.

I don't like the blade shape, which is useless for stabbing.

The grind of the edge looks like it is done very sloppily: there is a slight recurve to it that I can't be sure is even intentional. The bevel looks very sloppy and uneven in the pictures.

This part also concerns me (clipped from the listing):

"Note: Kydex is a space age polymer that is one of the best available materials for knife sheaths. The material is super strong and is unaffected by weather, body fluids, corrosive acids etc etc. It holds the knife securely and attracts no moisture . It has one unavoidable drawback, a RC hardness of 90 which means it will scratch knife blades. The scratches can usually be removed with steel wool and will not damage the knifes use ability but if this bothers you, ask about a separate leather sheath available at additional charge."

I have never heard that Kydex has a "RC hardness of 90 and will scratch knife blades." Is this true?! I have several neck knives and I believe that the sheaths are kydex (on at least some of them). I know that kydex is tough and resilient and chemical-resistant, but I have never heard of it scratching steel.

People, please... the guy uses the term "SPACE AGE POLYMER" in his description of the sheath! What are we to think??

Looks cool to me, although not as a neck knife. I would carry it as a small belt knife. I wouldn't want to pay much more than it sold for, but for $30 I would definitely buy one if only for the novelty factor.
