Want to be more edgy? Consider sporting a neck knife as part of your wardrobe and everyday carry option. Not only is it a fashion statement, but the blade is fashioned to be both stylish and practical. You never really know when you may need a reliable edge to cut off a tag or a thread from a new article of clothing, open a box or letter, or defend yourself from an unexpected threat or attack. Whatever the case, one thing is for sure, you’ll be looking very sharp doing it. Okay, enough of the bad knife puns. These mini blades serve a multitude of unforeseen purposes, and if you've never worn a neck knife before, we suggest giving them a try.
You’ve probably seen some survivalists on TV hanging their survival knife from around their neck with a string of sorts. In his book, "Native American Weapons" by Colin F. Taylor, many depictions of tribes wearing knives around their neck as far back as 1766 are revealed. Particularly, by higher ranking members of those tribes... However, the neck knives we’re referring to are a little bit different.
“A neck knife is a knife worn on a cord hanging from a person's neck. It usually means a small fixed blade knife which is carried by means of a cord, by which the knife sheath is suspended from around one's neck. They can either hang handle up ("mountain man style") or handle down. The knife may be hung from a loop of natural or synthetic cord, a length of braided paracord, a leather thong, or even a breakaway beaded or ball chain such as those utilized for military dog tags.The upside down carry knife often stays in place by means of a form-fitting synthetic sheath, which holds it securely in place until yanked sharply.” // Source
As we mentioned earlier, neck knives are also great everyday carry (EDC) options. They’re tactical, reliable, safe, good for indoor or outdoor activity, really cool and growing in popularity. They are the go to for minimalists looking to save space, and time.
