That made me giggle. I rarely even wear a knife on my belt anymore. My pocket knife, an absolute essential part of my being since I was a boy, goes in my pocket. Sometimes, two, like an absent minded chain smoker lighting another with one burning in the ash tray. Sometimes two, because I can’t make up my mind which one to take. My sheath knife goes in the pack, unless I’m traveling really light and then it usually goes in my pocket. I’ve met guys who actually use their neck knife, but it requires two hands to put it away, safely at least. When my friend made this one for me, I had to ask what it was for. When he told me, I asked him wasn’t I suppose to keep knives away from my neck?
I’m honored to have these two pictured above made specifically for me and even named for me, but they pretty much stay in the safe. My boots are a little too scuffed and my car has too many dents in it to carry those things seriously. That said, I’ll probably get a more utilitarian neck knife someday and keep it handy in my pocket.
best, dwc
