up swept neck knife recommendations?

[yavol]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble finding neck knives that have a large up sweep and thin handles. Ideally it'd be a decent SD knife that doesn't break the bank.

The closest thing I could find so far is the Coldsteel Roach Belly.

Any other recommendations? (more up sweep is ok too) for about the same cost? heh, I might be asking for too much

Neck knife? 8.5"?

Are you Godzilla?

A Scimitar Spike might barely qualify as a neck knife, if a proper sheath is made for it. Something (much) smaller and still near the price range would be a Ringer.

heh, nah, the CS Roach Belly was just to illustrate the blade shape that I liked, not the size.

The Ringer looks promising.

I don't know how much the Roach Belly cost because I will never own a Cold Steel knife, but how about these:

If you like one of these and it is out of your price range you could always pick one up on the used market.

The Ranger "Little Bird" gets my vote by the way.

You might try the Buck Hartsook Neck Knife. Or the Cold Steel Spike - Scimitar.

Great suggestions all. Thanks for the help finding some good options.

I think I like the Tops Knives Wolf Pup and the Ranger Little Bird the best. Having a big index finger recess is a huge plus for me. Now if it were only 25 bucks I'll keep an eye out on the used market. thx!

SOG Topo Contour, but they are discontinued. You might still be able to find one.
