It's probably not a big secret here; I'm not a huge fan of neck knives. Most of the neck knives I've seen want badly to be tactical. And I just don't get it. I think the "tacticallity" is in having the necker concealed...where it's hard to get to in an emergency, but will make you, the lawful user, look like a wannabe secret agent with your skeletonized miniature dagger if spotted by law enforcement. :D
In any case, I received a neat little neck knife today from AG Russel, sent as a gift from a friend and forum member (Thank you!). It's the Hunter's Scalpel (http://photos.pe.facebook.com/v47/216/117/69403225/n69403225_30250557_2229.jpg), and it's a tiny, very sharp little thing.
The Scalpel came with a lanyard, a tiny keyring attachment, and an alligator clip, so the user has a few carry options. I don't have immediate access to a scale, but this little beauty can't be more than half the weight of the Cold Steel Mini Pal I used to own. It's secured in its plastic sheath with a spring-loaded stud intuitively released by your thumb during the draw.
This little knife doesn't pretend to be tactical, just useful and convenient. I like it a lot. :) I plan on using the lanyard around my neck, so I can have a blade with me, even in my PTs...not for defense (after all, I always have an M4 carbine with me, and even an unloaded carbine is a better self defence tool than a small knife), but for the inevitable tasks one finds when not wearing a knife!
