Bald1 started off this thread with "Since I see where you're looking at a necklace again"... I took a look around for a posting by Sal on this, but cannot locate it -- could someone suggest what thread to look at?
I only wear a tie about once a decade, but I could wear a necklace every day -- I remember an old Cutlery Shoppe ad for a tiny Spyderco Mariner on a necklace, and would love to have one now. As I recall, it had a fully serrated Mariner blade, shrunk to something a bit over 1" in length, and abalone scales (though maybe I'm confusing the necklace with the tie-clips, which I do remember being available with a number of different scale materials).
You know how it goes -- at the time, I had no use for it and thought it silly, now I'd love to have one...
Besides, I bet the pocket-clip-removing crowd would
hate a tie-clip: it'd be the largest clip-to-knife ratio ever
By the way, for jewelery sized stuff like the necklace (and maybe the tie clip too), I think the sheepsfooted Mariner blade pattern might be a wiser choice -- still usefully sharp, with much less chance of stabbing yourself if the Spydie-hole (which at that scale, isn't really a thumb hole) gets snagged on something.
