Yep, it has limited utility.  Lots of neck knives are bigger/longer, but therefore bulkier and hang down too far.  Any ole pocket knife seems handier, and even if you have/had gotten used to the feel of dog tags hanging around your neck, with a P-38 can opener in between them, neck knives would feel uncomfortable for a while.

Steve,

I'm not much of a neck knife guy, but did get one from Survive Knives.

www.surviveknives.com   ("Necker")

1) It is very short - essentially no handle, although you can add a paracord handle - see video on how to do.

2) Kydex sheath - knife is "held" well and nothing rots or rusts.

3) String it on a dog tag chain.

4) M-390 stainless steel (new ones are CPM-20CV).

Finally catching up with emails from being away.  Thanks for the review of the Benchmade 940, Matt.

Cattaraugus 225-Q, WWII issue knife.  1095 carbon steel, as far as I know, and a new "drop-in" sheath made with a swivel.

Hi, guys.  I have a few Tactical/Combat fixed blades.

This is a Gerber Mark II in L6 steel I picked up while in the military.  Ser.# 080725 - made in 1979, if I read the date code chart correctly.  The smaller knife is a Gerber Guardian, which I picked up about the same time, but the date code is meaningless, according to Bernard Levine.

Has anyone had their hands on one of these?  Just wondering, I had never heard of them before
