Thread: Neck Knife Recommendations

i recommend putting the paracord wrap on, otherwise it could be slippery if you have wet hands. with the paracord, i can get a decent grip on it even with sweaty dirty hands.

as for the hissatsu, i have the fixed and the folder. the fixed is over a foot long, you'd need a hell of a torso to carry that thing around your neck without needing to tuck it in your waistband!

Yup, I have mine because a friend found it too big to carry in any fashion while overseas. It caught on everything - so he gifted it to me . He's going with a much smaller knife these days.

fits nicely behind the nametag/leash I wear around my neck at work. Inconspicuous and always right there.

That's the coolest knife I've seen in a long time. Damn you Jockeys, damn you...first it's pens, now it's neck knives. What's next?

Yeah, I'm ordering a couple (one for me too ). Now, if I can just figure out their site!

I'll send you my address so you can order me one too

This one worked well for me in the past. It might take a little use to get it to slide in and out of the sheath right (It's a tight fit at first.). Handle was a little small, but it is supposed to be. The sheath had plenty of holes for rigging it however you feel like attaching it.

+1 for the RAT Izula. Lifetime (the knives not yours so it'll outlast you children possibly) no questions asked warrantee. They literally state on the website that if you cut the thing in half with a cutting torch you can send it to them and they'll replace it.

That's correct.

ps I just realised that the pink Izula is the only picture of it here. There's also a blank (silver), a black and a tan version. And sometimes a foliage green one.

I've actually considered getting a pink-handled Spyderco in the past - to help ease people's concern that I have a "weapon".

well, my latest AD has been high-end yoyos, but most folks seem to think that's kind of ridiculous...
