Neck Knives.

[arnisador]

The neck knives thread seems to have been a casualty of the server crash. I checked out the sites that were suggested before but unfortunately didn't bookmark them, knowing I could always find them here after all!

Can those who posted neck knife sites please repost them?

Arnisador,

can't find the url right now, but if youdo a search on Livesay Woo you should get some hits. i think this one one of the first (and still up there with the best) neck knives. You can also check out onestopknifeshop.com, they have a section just on neck knives

I wear one. I'd wear two but then they clank and give away the fact that I am wearing them.

Does that help?

Before the Great Crash the Neck Knives thread had some specific links to sites. I had checked them out and was going to go back with buying in mind but then it was lost!

Bud Nealy's MCS System includes allows for a variety of ways to carry a knife, including a neck knife:

I have a 5" Pesh Kabaz that I find a little long for a neck knife, but it can be worn that way. The 3" version (on the bottom of the page) is an admirable neck knife.

Best,

From someone that is extremely limited in my knife fighting.

How "handy" is an neck knife actually? Not a lot of good if you're in the middle of something and you have to go rooting around inside your shirt for the knife.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I seriously would like to know.

Enlighten me.

I know people who like them--e.g. joggers. It's a convenient carry spot for many people and isn't too bad to access if you wear a loose shirt. Of course, after a fight actually starts I'd hate to have to reach a hand up under my shirt!

I like to think of neck knife as a back-up weapon. Although you can carry it as a primary weapon under the constraints of limited clothing (going to the beach, etc). I would probably carry it in addition to another weapon. That way you will have mutiple places to draw a weapon, it might be difficult to draw your folder clipped to your pocket in the heat of things as well, like if your rolling around on the ground and you can't get to it. It will just give you another option.

As a side note, they are pretty handy for utility reasons too. A friend of mine who runs a charter fishing boat wears his all the time for cutting line, etc. (with no shirt on).


By the way..have you seen those underwear holsters...imagine digging around in there for your gun!
