All About Pocket Knives

In wintertime I tend to carry a Neck-Knife more often than in the summer as multiple layers of clothing make it more comfortable for me. Over the years I HAVE accumulated a few. I probably could get by with just one... just like I could eat just one potato chip (or drink one beer ).

I used to when I had a Gerber Frisco Shiv that was designed by Blackie Collins. It had a lever latch to keep it in the sheath upside down. Unfortunately I traded the knife away for something, kick kick myself

Noooo! I know the feeling I have done it time and time again,,,

Here is a Rich Greenwood* neck-knife that I bought from him several years ago. It is a super solid piece.

*Rich Greenwood is a local blade smith in my town that gained national fame as a two time finalist on the History Channel's Forged in Fire TV show. He has a blacksmith/knife forging school in Tucson, AZ.

Here's a few I have accumulated.

Yes- a BK11 in my left hip pocket.

Knice collection! The Ka-Bar with a handle that looks like a wrench is very appealing to me.

Nice!
R.R. I have wanted to get 1 of these Ka-Bars for a while, (The Ka-Bar with a handle that looks like a wrench) I have had one in the hand and I really like it. I am waiting for a used one at an "EDC" price point

Sweet!!!

I have one somewhere but I've never carried it. Bought it years ago, it is a cheapie but I don't remember where I put it. Probably with everything else I can't find.

If I only had one neck-knife, I would be in the same boat as you that's why I have so many... %50 or %60 go missing

This little silver one hangs around my neck 24/7

Very cool, Scott. A knife is a handy thing to always have when you need it.


Thanks, Dan and GSP. It is/was a cool release by Ka-Bar.

I have two but never carry them. They just hang around on the bookcase.

Nice Scott! The advantage of a neck knife is that you can draw it pretty fast from a seated position, so I like to carry one on road trips. It is perfect as a back-up when seated in a vehicle. I just picked up two, a CRKT and one also made from a file.

Stay safe out there and watch your 6!

I met the maker of these neck-knives in a shop today, very nice quality.

I've had a couple of the Gerber neck knives. They seemed like a good idea at the time, but couldn't get used to something around my neck.

I tend to wear them more in wintertime when I have more heavy clothing on, you don't feel the knife rubbing against you so much...
