Title: Which neck knife
Post by: bornagainbowhunter on March 03, 2010, 01:36:00 PM: I have been wwanting to get a real nice custom knife. Been throwing ideas around for several months now. I have decided to get a neck knife. Now, just like when you decide to buy a new bow, which one.
I really like the neck knife that Guru posted pics of from the Pig gig. What do yall think? Who make a good'en? Pics would help, but I need to know who made it when you post em.

Lots of craftsmen here....Jeeremy, Doug Campbell, skullworks, sticshooter, way to many to name and all do good work. Depends on what you want, when you want it and what you want to pay for it. Type of steel, handle material, size of knife.....

He also specializes in neck knives because he loves the functionality of them. If your willing to spend that kind of money it will be money well spent.
