Neck Knife
Don't stick your neck out (when carrying a knife)
For people who are not familiar of what a neck knife is, it’s actually small fixed blade knife that is conveniently stored and carried by means of a “pendant rig.” Basically, you wear the knife as a necklace; handle pointing down, with a length or breakaway beaded chain like the ones you see in most military dog tags.
The knife is kept in place by a form fitting sheath. It pretty much holds it in place no matter what, until you yank it out sharply. Different manufacturers create it in various ways; the sheath is sometimes equipped with magnets to allow easy unsheathing of the knife.
Most neck knifes are about 4 inches long and are single edges. They are often used for utilitarian means although there are some versions that are often used for non-utilitarian means.
Although they are meant to be worn around the neck, there are also some that are suspended under the arm. Sometimes, they are hidden inside a person’s shirt to provide cover, but this makes it difficult to retrieve the knife. Hence, it’s often worn on the outside, making the drawing far easier and gets you in less trouble under US law for concealing weapons. This is one knife that works well for people who are legally prohibited from having a larger blade in their possession or those who are prohibited from carrying a concealed fixed blade.
