I don't think we did the neck knife yet. Here you can see three of mine, plus a shoulder carry knife. At left is a Cold Steel Urban Pal. Not much utility for hunting, and it has a poor sheath. However, it is a good one for carrying when you're out cycling. Next to it is a Fallkniven WM1 with a 3" blade. It's a great small game knife and skinner! Has an excellent sheath. The knife with the Plastic-dipped red handle is a CRKT Stiff Kiss. It has a flat sheath and is an excellent outdoor knife but has an uncomfortable, skeleton grip. To fix it, I dipped it in 8 coats of Plastic-Dip. That gave it a great grip and transformed it into a hard use knife. To the right is a CRKT Polkowski-Kasper Companion. It's a heavy knife, designed as a concealed carry fighter. The protrusion under the grip makes it clumsy for field- dressing. Otherwise, it's a really good cutter. It's too heavy to wear around the neck, so I use a paracord shoulder strap. Let's see your neck knives!

Bark River Bumblebee Overall Length: 6" Blade Length: 2.4" Blade Thickness: .093" Blade Steel: Bohler Elmax @ 60-61RC Weight: 2.7oz
Not a neck knife per se, but I wear it in the sheath with a lanyard as one. Very handy and tough little knife, easily part out a deer or hog with it too...

It is fused glass Don.
That's what makes it harder to knap because everywhere there is a flower there is a chance the the flake will stop causing a step fracture. But she was happy and that's what counts, lol.

Something about 'neck' and 'knife' together makes me leary.
Seems like an idiotic way to carry a knife but hey that's just me.

No pictures but I carry a Essee Izula that way constantly. When my case folder is not quite enough the Izula is always there and much stronger.

There's a plus side to over the heart carry. If someone shoots at you, and aims for the heart, there's a chance the blade will stop or deflect the bullet.

I'm not one of those so I find them pointless (no pun intended) .

No but we're sort of playing those roles.
Carrying a well sheathed knife on your person is about equally safe no matter where you carry it.
It's not like it's strapped to your jugular.

Here’s the couple I have. The antler one was made by R. Barbee as the labor day challenge prize and the cholla handle one was won as a giveaway here but for the life of me I can’t remember the maker without going out to the shop and finding my notebook with my LW names and addresses.

I don't wear one that way but this one with less than 2" blade could be a neck knife. It's used for small game.

Here’s a few of mine. Carrying one is as safe as you make it. Tucked inside your shirt is convenient and safe, can’t stand a knife on my belt when hunting.

Don't get me wrong I've gutted many a animal with a broadhead. IT wasn't because I wanted to but because I had too.

A broad selection for steel for a broadhead in a one time use is TOTALLY different than a knife steel. It's easy for normal people to get confused.

Coop's Grandfather was.
After having to improvise by using a broadhead many times he glued one to a handle and the neck knife was born.
