Great neck knife!

This is about as close as you'll get to a every day carry, effective neck knife. I've seen some that claim to by, but honestly, they're too bulky or they're too small. This is a solid cutter with a sharp edge out of the box. Because it's one piece of solid American steel, you'd really have to do some prying with it to bend or break it. The finger hole is great for use though it takes a little getting used to.

All in all, best knife for this size and purpose I've found.

Cool looking little knife.

The 1095 carbon steel metal is tough, it came sharp.

But one problem I have with it is extremely difficult to pull from the sheath. It is in there good and definitely won't fall out. Every time I tried to pull it out I had to death grip it and my finger would hurt from the grabbing the jimping too hard.

Other than that, I don't foresee myself using this knife too much. Mostly opening boxes or in emergency situation like cutting seat belts or something. The knife is good, but they need to work on the sheath.

It's just what it appears to be, a monolithic piece of sharp metal. I have no doubts it will cut, open or even pry apart whatever I put in front of it but it's a bit pricey for what it is. The sides are nicely ribbed for a decent bit of traction in your hand and the hole is more of a secondary gripping spot rather than a finger hole (unless you have really scrawny fingers...). Nice for what you pay for it. Haven't found a reason for why I bought it. It's almost impossible to unsheathe the knife. Its just a gimmick knife.
