I'm trying to find out if any has a good recommendation for a stainless neck knife. I love my izula, but I don't usually carry mine in the summer because it's so hot and humid and I sweat alot.

Yes, I realize a stainless izula is an option. Just checking what else is available. I'm hoping to keep the price below $75. I've been looking at the enzo necker. General use, edc, and short hikes are the primary uses. Any suggestions are welcome.
 
I have a Blackjack 155 neck knife in 154cm. I don't carry it on my neck, but it's a handy size.
If you look around, you can find them as low as $53. They come with a kydex sheath, and micarta scale kits are available.
Don't know if it makes a difference to you, but they are convex ground,
 
I love the Cold Steel "Beaver Tail"! Aus-8a, very light and only around 25$ It's wide so if under shirt leaves imprint. I don't want people knowing I carry a neck knife. Unless I'm in the woods. If you don't care about being discrete check it out. I wear it during cold months.
 
The GSO Necker is very unobtrusive, especially without an additional lanyard. However, it's hard to find. The GSO Necker 2 it's easier to find but the little handle would bulge through a t shirt. They are more expensive than other makers'.
 
I found most neck knives to be too big. Have you checked out the Fred Perrin Griffe? There are semi-production versions which are not too expensive.

Also the Cold Steel neck knives are small and decent, but I found the rubber handle goes gummy after a few years of exposure to sweat/heat.

The White River Knives Knucklehead is a nice necker in S30V for about $70.

Yep, go over to USA Made Blade and get one from Whitty. Or the Knucklehead II if you want the double bevel version.

$65 is right in your wheelhouse. This is gonna be my new mushrooming knife this fall.
 
I carry a stonewash Emerson La Griffe often, not around the neck but either clipped to the inside of a vest or on a tether inside my front pocket. Very light and with a plastic sheath, it's endured even salt water soaking from reef walks.
 
That white river knucklehead is interesting. I'll look more into that one. Thanks for the suggestions all!
 
Are you serious? 11 reasons replies to the OP and I'm the first to recommend the spyderco ARK?

Thin, ultra light, handy blade shape and uhhhh kinda stainless...and by that, i mean cannot rust, period, ever.

For someone looking for a stainless neck knife, you'd be really hard pressed to find better. And I say that as a guy who generally is not a fan of neck knives...
 
For a little more (I know sorry) a Duck Childress would meet your requirements, he has been doing a lot of 440c lately. I do not carry around my neck, but they slip into the front pocket nicely, has a nice clip n kydex or leather. I also have been looking at the Enzo line a little more. One that has caught my eye out of curiosity is the Ag Russell Woodswalker in Aus8, just looks handy. The Cold steel mini Pendleton looks nice, and finally, the Fallkniven WM1, I have one, sharp and slender, still more than your budget.
