Neck knife: compact and always at hand
Neck knives are small, lightweight and portable! You easily wear these knives around your neck with the cord. Is it a piece of jewellery or a tool? Both! Since neck knives are fixed knives, they don't have any hinges or locks that can break. Their compact size means you wear them inconspicuously in a sheath around your neck, without scaring others, yet always within easy reach.

Features of a neck knife
The name says it all: a neck knife is a knife worn around the neck. Neck knives are compact and usually have a blade length between 4 and 9 cm.
Includes a sheath: neck knives come with a sheath so you can safely wear it around your neck.
Versatile attachment: many sheaths can also be attached to a belt, provided they are suitable for this purpose.
Compact size: small, light and easy to carry with you.
How to choose the best neck knife
A neck knife is basically a compact fixed blade, but there are subtle differences that determine which model suits you best.
Size
Smaller neck knives (approx. 4 cm) are more comfortable and easier to carry. They are ideal emergency situations since they're easy to grab. Larger neck knives (up to 9 cm) are more practical for all-round tasks and more versatile in use.
Applications
Neck knives come in different shapes and sizes, intended to be used for different purposes. Some neck knives are great for tactical use, others are more catered towards EDC use or outdoor activities. Carefully read the product description to learn more about specific knives. For collectors, Knivesandtools offers, premium neck knives and unique limited editions.
Blade steel
Then there's the choice between carbon steel and stainless steel. Carbon steel has the advantage of being very strong and easy to sharpen. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant and thus low maintenance, but it's often a bit more difficult to sharpen. If the knife really needs to be 100% stainless, there is Spyderco's Salt series. These knives are designed for marine use and can withstand salt water.
