Every Day Carry Necker’s priced right for the working man. This piece is a collaboration with my apprentice, CJ Powell, as we wanted to come up with something that would be affordable yet still the quality of all my other pieces. The run is limited to a maximum of 100 pieces, 15 at a time. Each knife is numbered on one side, with “JK” for Jarrett Knives on the other.

The choice of O1 tool steel rather than stainless for a quality EDC is for edge retention which to me is wear resistance, ease of sharpening in the field and edge stability combined.
These EDC’s are laser sharp – that I guarantee. So much so that they may come with a tiny bit of arm hair left on them….just kidding.

They are all individually made, not cut out by water jet or CNC. All work was done in house by hand in my shop including heat treating.

* Perfect for working around the house *
* Sized right for any task, at home or in the woods *
* Wear it under your fishing or bird hunting vest *
* Neck knives are useful on the job where repeated use or quick access is needed *
* Light enough for comfort, heavy enough to not swing around and bother you *
* Easy to clean and care for *
* O1 Tool Steel holds an edge forever, but is easy to re-sharpen if necessary *

A quality package - Only $125 + shipping USPS Priority Mail in The Continental U.S.

OAL: Average 6” +/- .0625 (1/16")

I have number 15 and I love it..

This is the best 125.00 I ever spent on a knife. carry it in my pocket and don't even know it is there.
 
There is a little secret that many old hunters know, but perhaps some folks haven't heard or thought of. First of all gut hooks kinda suck. Often they don't work they way they are supposed to and they're difficult to sharpen. The first step I take when cleaning is to open up the stomach cavity and the best and first knife I reach for is a knife of this size; here's why.

With the shorter blade I can put my index finger along the spine of the blade all the way to the tip. With larger knives this can only be done by choking up so far that you're holding nothing but steel.

This EDC allows that while still grasping the knife by the handle. With the index finger in that position one can protect the gut sack with their finger on the inside and the sharp part of the blade facing outward. It stinks to cut the gut sack open right when you're starting the cleaning process and reaching for this little knife first will enable the control needed to prevent it.

If you haven't tried this method give it a shot. I think you will be very pleased with the results.

Brass -

You make an excellent point regarding the abilities of a knife this size over that of some larger pieces. To some folks bigger is no doubt better. That theory works sometimes - like for camp knives where its primary job is chopping. Sometimes it works for hunting knives. I have a customer in Texas that hunts wild boars with only his knife. In that case you need something of decent size to "stick and twist". But for the most part, if you know how to use a knife - one this size will do just the trick on skinning out most any game animal. Thanks for bringing your experience to this thread.

Oh yeah - forgot to mention - gut hooks are a pain in the patooty for the maker too! I've made only six and those are the only six I will ever make.
 
From the pictures I cannnot determine if the sheath is for neck carry only or can it be used on the belt? Planned use is EDC however I wear ties often which would definitely pose problems.
Thanks in advance for a response.
 
Texag1989 -

Problem solved. This model is normally a necker. But on request I set up the eyelets so they will accommodate a Tek-Lok clip. That way you can wear it on your hip. Why I say "on request" is that I'd need to know which side you would carry on so I can orient the knife properly. You can get the clips from Tracy at USAKnifemaker.com for about $10. Easy done. Thanks my friend.
 
I received this knife just before I moved into a new house.. For 2 weeks I used it to unpack the wives shoes..
It held a great edge, fits your hand like a glove, and the scales are kinda grippy..

Of the 15 that were made and sold the first run.. Not one have I seen for sale on the secondary market..

Todd -

Just how many shoes does your lovely bride have? Seriously though, that's the kind of comment that tickles any knifemaker. And, I think all makers keep an eye out for their work on the secondary market and you're right, I've not seen any of the TCEDC's anywhere - meaning that the original buyers are hanging on to their Twisted Cripple's.

While I'm here I wanted to let folks know that I found (4) four more of the "glow in the dark" paracord closures so these are available now - and we're getting more in soon....

Buyers can also choose from these two whistle cord closures...

Not to be labor the point.. but I did a search on BF under the name Jarrett. I found only ONE knife ever being sold in 8-2009 on the secondary market.. The would encompass all the different models Wayne makes.. That I find incredible...

If ever a stat speaks to customer satisfaction that would be it for me..
 
Thanks Todd.

That's really all a custom knifemaker has to live on - his reputation, the quality of his work and satisfied customers. That speaks louder than any paid advertising, that's for certain. Much obliged my friend.
 
Great knife, Wayne & CJ! This one feels a lot better than the 6" paper version that I sized and cutout prior to purchase. ;) This knife will be the first one out on the next game animal I harvest. It's very nicely finished and this is the first neck holstered knife I've ever owned.

Gentlemen, I'm much obliged.
