Damascus Neck Knives

A neck knife is the knife you have when you are not carrying a knife. Small, light, worn on a cord under a shirt in a friction-fit sheath, drawn with one hand. It is not meant to replace a belt knife. It is meant to be the one that is always actually there.Size. Blades run about two to three and a half inches, overall five to seven. Past that the weight starts pulling on the cord and you stop wearing it, which defeats the point.Sheath. Retention is everything on a neck knife. Ours are fitted leather that grips the blade on friction alone, so it stays put when you bend over but comes free with a straight pull.Ours. Hand-forged 1095 and 15n20 Damascus or 440C stainless at 58 to 60 HRC, full tang, skeletonised or scaled depending on the model.Is a neck knife comfortable? Under a shirt, once the cord length is right, you stop noticing it. Too long a cord and it swings; too short and it rides on the collarbone.Damascus or stainless? Against skin, in summer, stainless is the easier choice because sweat is corrosive. Damascus is fine with a wipe and a little oil.Is it legal to carry? Please check your local law before ordering.
