Curious as to what other people use for their Neck Knife?

Even though I have a whole slew of knives, I don't carry any on my belt when hunting. I have two just barebone blades (no handles  just steel) in my fanny pack and my primary small thin 6 inch Neck Knife for quick access. It is thin enough that it goes under my shirt so it doesn't get hung up on anything...tippit

I do sometimes, just a small Hella with a deer horn handle, homemade leather sheath.

Shrew neck knife under top layer.

I keep a small neck knife under my outer layer.  It is a 3 inch blade with an antler handle that Frank S made for me.

i do same - carry a knife in my pack and one around my neck.  I figure if i ever fell from my stand i may need it to cut my self out of my harness or something.  The neck knife may have saved my iife in Alaska - i was floating a river and my raft slipped under a sweeper.  We would have cleared it except for a backpack strap on my dry bag caught a limb and it started to flip the raft.  i was able to pull the neck knife and cut the strap and cut myself loose before it flipped all the way over.

I carry a small Anza knife around my neck and under my outer layer of clothing.  Much easier to access when all bundled up for cold weather.

I chuckle at the guys who say carrying a knife around your neck is dangerous due to the risk of getting hung up and strangled.  Has that really happened to anyone ever?  Maybe it has, I don't know. How come I've never heard a similar warning about binoculars around your neck?

I carry a Dean Hazuka patch knife around my neck sometimes,  but mostly I have it tied to the shoulder strap of my pack.  I use it a lot. Mostly for just small things or whittling while I'm in the blind.

I haven't carried one much when I hunt, but I always have mine on when I'm kayak fishing.

That is a slick necker.  Love the blade shape.

I usually have one of mine on when hunting. 

Ive carried a crkt around  my neck forever,  fishing,  camping,  hunting,  i use it for many tasks,, very hany little  blade, i keep it razor sharp.

Those are nice!  I like the turtle one.
I inherited a neck knife from my father in law Pops when he passed.  I wear it on special hunts.

I carry an Esee Izula-II on the neck while hunting.  I installed a breakaway snap on the paracord necklace so no chance of hanging myself.

I also have a CRKT minimalist that I carry backpacking and kayak fishing.

Flingblade,
The breakaway snap on the paracord necklace is a good idea as I never thought about getting hung up...pardon the pun.

I also use a CRKT minimalist when kayaking

Couple other small thin Neck Knives that I've used...Plain Damascus and Spring Buck handled one.

Found these on Amazon...KEEJEA 25 Pack Pop Barrel Connectors Safety Breakaway Lanyard Clasps Plastic Buckle for Paracord Necklace at $8 so I can now safely use paracord as my lanyard for my neck knives.

I too use the CRKT minimalist as a neck knife. Keep a bigger blade in the pack, but haven't needed it for the last 7 or 8 deer I dressed in the field.

I don't have a neck knife, but I do have a sweet armguard with a knife in there. I got it when I attended the Montana Traditional Bowhunters banquet. Can't remember who I got it from off the top of my head.

i'll see if I can figure out how to get a picture up
