Neck knives: Yay or Nay?

[richtheclimber]

Morning all.

I know a lot of you are really into neck knives, but my question is this... Do you wear one as well as your main knife, or is that you rmain knife, you just wear it round your neck? Just curious...

Many thankings,

Rich (the-no-longer-so-much-of-a-climber)

I do an either / or, so I'll sometimes wear a neck knife as my main knife when I want my knife to remain discreet, ie not visible to other people - basically in areas where I have more chance of being seen by non-bushcrafty folk. If I'm not so worried about being seen I'll wear one on my belt.

main knife goes over the shoulder baldric style, any others that i might be carrying go in a pocket or (more likely than not) live in my rucksack. i don't actually own a knife that could be worn on my belt

I prefer a neck knife as it does not get in the way of my pack when I am hiking, which is what I do most

It depends on where I am and what I'm doing really.

If there's other folk about I think a necker is more discreet under clothes, if I'm away on a trip then I'll carry a knife on my belt.

My knife (a woodlore) is usually on my belt. I sometimes carry a little puukko or a Mora around my neck and either of those will do all the things I need to do in the woods.

I carry a little pocket knife in a neck sheath fairly often

The thought of a neck knife never really appealed to me although that may be something to do with spending a good chunk of my early adult years wearing god awful things around my neck akin to a hangmans noose (ties) and having escaped the need for them (since im now a sparky) i aint going back lol
