I am interested in a neck knife (prefer stainless). I like the general design and shape of the strider MFS, swamp rat swamp warden and the ESEE Izula II-being able to accomodate 4 finger grip. No scales as I prefer skeletonized handle. I want it to be stout so 1/8" thickness minimum no thicker than 5/32. I am Thinking 2.75-3" blade w/ 4" handle with some type integrated guard. Steels...decent edge holding and tough elmax, CPM 154, CPM D2 or CTS-XHP, or Sandvick 12c27 (properly heat treated) are steels that come to mind. Kydex sheath.
I would be interested in any estimates f/ makers, recommendations or questions.
Thanks for taking the time to read and consider the above,
Dean
