My favorite neck knife is the becker bk-11. I also like the becker bk-14. the bk-11 has a bottle opener on the end and is the shorter of the 2. The Bk-14 is a collaboration between Kabar and Esee. It has the izula handle with the bk-11 blade.
 
I would suggest checkinh out the knife makers here on blade forums. You can get some nice custom necker sized knives for very reasonable prices.

The bk 11 looks like a good knife.

i dont have much money to spend. Do you know a specific maker?
 
Ive had both the Izula 1 and Becker Necker... the izula seems to be a bit more functional because it has a longer handle but the Becker Necker was great too... Beckers sheath is better IMO

Really? You are quite literally the first person I have ever heard say that. Every ESEE I have has a better sheath then every Becker I have.

As for neckers, I have Izulas, Izula IIs, A couple BK-11s, and a BK14. I carry my Izula way more then the Beckers, and it's pretty much all because of their sub-par sheaths.
 
Wish I still had the pictures, a Boker Gnome. One of the best I've ever used. Highly recommended IMHO.
 
I own 2 neckers: BK14 and Scrap Yard Scrapivore. The Scrapivore is a little smaller and lighter along with a lighter sheath which makes it perfect for EDC. I wear the BK14 outdoors for short hikes or mtn biking and when shooting out in the desert.

Not my picture, but I have a couple of these from Kim Breed. I am currently wearing the smaller necker, it sits where your dog tags would and is a handy & useful little blade for EDC without getting in the way. I'd carry the larger one only if I know I'm going to be spending time outdoors or traveling somewhere.

BK13, BK14, Topps Covert Solution, Topps ALRT 05, Morris File Knife or Buck Hartsook. These all work well for me.

I can't reccomend a specific knifemaker but there are several good ones. For $80-115 you can buy something Much better than anything that's mass produced! IMO
I look at FB fs by knifemakers at least 5-6 times a week.

I concur with this. It's available with 3 blade options; tanto, bowie or wharncliffe. The wharncliffe is lighter then the other two styles, the handle is slightly different and more "minimal". The price of these really can't be beat.
