Title: post some pictures of best neck knife
Post by: woodsman1031 on August 08, 2008, 09:50:00 AM

Hello,


  I am planning on building a neck knife this weekend. I would like to see some pictures of neck knives that yall own or have made.

Please let me know why you like the design that you post.
I made a neck knife about a month ago, but I dont think the blade design is practical.

Thanks

Hey Texas Tommy,

A little cocobollo 02 steel necker I built:

Black and white ebony necker made from a bare blade:

My knife swap knife I recieved this year, a Helle polar blade:

Last years contribution to the knife swap, a cold steel bird and trout that I installed a bocote and mule deer antler on:

And I can't seem to find a picture of it, but I have a small trade knife quite like the top trade knife here...

Those are sweet!
Is there any particular blade style you like the best for a necker? Do you use your necker for gutting, skinning etc.?

i prefer these styles with a blade about 1/8 inch thick and hollow ground.  there's not much you can't skin with a good necker!

Here's a few of mine. All are 5-1/2" overall, 1/8" carbon steel. Brilliant little all rounders!

Some really cool knives there alright. Mr ElkNinja that ebony one is a dandy! Also that top one of yours to Jeff, a good design I bet.

I almost always have a knife around my neck - either this one from sticshooter:

Or this one from Robtattoo:

 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/fyrfyter43/S5000505.jpg)

Both are great knives, but the one from Frank just fits my hand a little bit better.
