Absolutely love this knife due to its size
Absolutely love this knife due to its size. I didn't want a large blade but just something in case I needed it. The handle is a bit small, but I think as long as you have a firm grip, it's not going anywhere and this is not a deal breaker for me. I like that it has a belt clip that can be rotated (must use a wrench for that so it's secure) so it may also be used as a boot clip or onto backpack etc. I hope the chain that was included in going to hold up. I wear it during hikes and it feels comfortable and not heavy at all. I check occasionally to make sure the blade would not slip out of the sheath and only barely pushed it back in once. Also great for females who want to feel safe or anyone wanting a blade but don't feel like carrying something visible, bulky or large. I'd buy this again if my current one breaks but so far it's been great and the quality is also very, very good.

Quality neck knife at a good fair market value.
I have tried ordering other neck knives from Amazon. There are a lot of brands and styles out there. this is the right one. Not only do I love the backstory about the Vietnam vets, but The knife is solid through and through. It feels like you have meat and potatoes. The neck sheath is very secure. When you hold the knife in your hand, it feels really good. On a scale 1 to 10, definitely a 10. When you wear it around your neck, you barely feel it hanging because of the weight. Very low imprint when wearing a T-shirt or whatever. Outside of the actual necklace chain, no one would ever know of wearing your knife. The blade is razor sharp. it feels strong enough to cut through anything you throw it your way. You will not go wrong with this purchase.

Good value, tool quality
I like the size, which makes it a non-weapon in my state(s), thus concealable as an (inverted) neck knife. I use it *several times daily as a tool, and remove it only in the shower. Arrived razor sharp in decent steel; factory edge has held OK, tho I’ll use the reverse-ground for future edges (and possibly grind the 25% upper cutting edge *implied by the design). I skeletonized it for even less weight, removed the handles and clip, and thinned the (aggressive, printing) sheath (which could be much smaller). I also rounded the edge-side sheath (to distinguish “up”), and moved the chain to widen its base to minimize rotation. The chain has quickly worn-off its black paint, which IMHO should be SS. I’ll expect it to eventually loosen its tight grip on the knife, so I’ve embedded a rare-earth magnet. Among others, I prefer a demure implement (only a brand draw for tactical wannabes), so I’ve anonymized and undecorated it. Accomplished the above in 20 minutes— just time enough to ‘own’ it. Good value for an everyday blade!

Great knife for cc
This is a great little knife for the price. We have only had them for a few weeks but we are impressed so far. The shealth has great retention. The belt clip is adjustable for lefty/righty and cant making it very versatile. Really the only issue is when you carry it horizontal on your belt and draw, the sheath will slide until a belt loop or something stops it but it's really not a big deal just something to keep in mind(belt could also be a factor we use KORE essential belt). The chain it comes with holds up well when drawing the knife. I think the size is perfect for concealed neck carry/horizontal OWB carry. Very happy with the knife. $$ well spent.

Good product if you want something small
It's small so the ergos are kind of awkward even for my small hands but that's ok, it's meant to be small. This brand is expensive but the quality gives it a 5 star feel. The weight isn't too bad so if you want to throw it in a pocket or handbag or backpack, you won't notice it's there. I have a fold out blade of another brand and it's noticeably heavier but it's also about twice the blade length. This is great to have in a pinch. The blade is thick enough it doesn't seem like it would break with repetitive use and the edge is quite sharp. I think it'll last me a lifetime.

GREAT QUALITY/GREAT WARRANTY
I just received this little knife which I purchased specifically to mount on my kayak life jacket. The attached belt clip made the attachment a breeze. I added a couple of zip ties just for insurance. The knife is extremely sharp and the sheath holds the knife very securely. I have other "neck knives" of excellent quality but they don't include a belt clip. This little knife is exactly what I needed. I've been a SOG knife owner for 20 years. I recently sent in a couple of 15 year old Twitch II knives in to have the springs replaced. I didn't realize at the time that SOG has a lifetime warranty. A few days later, I received 2 brand new Twitch II knives. FREE! GREAT QUALITY AND GREAT COMPANY! BUY 'EM! John

The knife will fall out 👀 and is not secure 🔐 👀
TOP: SOG neck knife (store bought) from Academy BOTTOM: SOG neck knife from AMAZON DIFFERENCES: 1. The one from Academy ($40) 👀 HOWEVER the knife is held extremely secure and snaps into the sheath. 2. The one from Amazon ($20) 👀 HOWEVER does not 🚫 snap into the sheath. It is EXTREMELY loose❗I would not wear this AT ALL❗This is a safety hazard 🔪🤛🏾 🫴🏾🗡️ 🔪🦵🏾 3. The Amazon knife blade is not as thick as the one from Academy. 4. The blades and sheaths are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE❗I tried to put the Academy knife in the Amazon sheath 👀..... And vice versa And one got Jammed/Stuck The other was loose as a goose 🪿 Hope this helps somebody. Just buy from Academy or order from them 🙏🏾

Perfect EDC
I cannot come up with even a constructive criticism of this little blade. Clips on my right pocket every morning. I use it every day for at least 5 tasks. Far superior to my old Cold Steel EDC, this blade really holds an edge and works hard. For the money I don't think I've ever had a more useful, ergonomic and durable pocket knife. I have never had to use a knife in self defense and I hope I never have to. After sharpening and stroping I tested it on some bone-in pork. I am confident this lil blade would keep me safe as safe can be should I be cornered or mugged.

刃長5cm 全長12cm 刃厚4ミリ フルタングのネックナイフですが、チェーンを外してグリップをベルトに挟むこともできます。ブーツは持っていませんが、グリップをブーツに挟めばブーツナイフとしても使えそうですが、グリップで挟むだけではブーツナイフとしては不安定だと思います。 肝心の切れ味が良くないので少し研いでみます。

El cuchillo es de una buena calidad, pequeño (lo cual se especifica bien) y fácil de portar. En mi caso, que soy coleccionista, le haría falta un afilado, ya que viene bien afilado de por sí, pero no al nivel que yo exijo en un cuchillo. Con la compra muy satisfecho, ya que lo adquirí estando rebajado, y el envío perfecto, todo en un día, con el producto precintado en una caja tipo blister, así que lo recomiendo si te gustan este tipo de filos.
