very nice. I like the damascus,real nice.  

[Dirty Bill]

The overall length on this one is 7". Too long for a neck knife?    :rolleyes:

Did someone ask about KNIVES? I love knives....Here's couple of neck knives I have made.<><      

[Lin Rhea]

I call this a "personal carry". The blade is
3 1/8 inch with an overall length of about 7 inches. The ferule is bronze and the wood is African Blackwood. Lin

This neck knife was made by sticshooter

I used the tape measure to show just how small it is.

Here are a couple more by Frank.  My wife & I carry the two smaller ones in kydex neck sheaths I made.

[Dirty Bill]

Boy they are all really nice. How long should the overall length be for a neck knife? You all are making it really hard to decide...

Jeremy, I got to tell ya, if a man can have a dream knife that top one in the first pic is mine!! I have pulled that pic up multiple times and drooled over it since you posted it a month or so ago! Its just PERFECT!

[Jeremy]

Lewis, You like that fat bellied skinner, huh?    One similar to that is probably going to be one of my knives in this year's St Jude Children's Hospital raffle here in a few months, so imagine that knife with gorgeous tiger maple scales and start saving your pennies  :D

Yeah that wood and damascus works really well.I like it a lot,but I can't tell how big it is. I'm wanting something kind of on the small but not too small side. I may end up using mine I pictured above previously. it's 7" o.a. though.

Jeremy, DONT TELL ME THAT!!! My wife is gonna kill me! LOL

Here is my first try at a neck knife 6 1/2" long with a helle blade. You don't even notice it when you have it on.

[Jeremy]

Bill, it's not damascus, it's high carbon steel, clay coated during the heat treat to differentially harden it, then etched to show the temper line  :D

My neck knife has a 3" blade and is about 7" OAL, so the one you posted a pic of would definitely work for a neck knife (real nice knife btw)  The lower knife in my first pic is based on Doug Campbell's popular caper knife, and is 6-3/4" OAL, or there-abouts.  I've made 3 or 4 in that style and find them really handy.  I cleaned and butchered two deer with one last year to prove to a guy you don't need a 5" blade to clean a deer  

I didn't think I'd like a neck knife until I tried one.  Now I wear mine most of the time when I'm not at work.
