There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I used to use a Schrade push knife around my neck, but because that was over 6", it had too much movement and weight. It worked better for the same tasks than the smaller blade, but now that I found out the SCHF54 is discontinued, I will keep that reserved as a boot holstered emergency self defense blade.
If you are looking for something for emergency self defense (last resort), Iʻd recommend a push knife with a dual sided blade of at least 3". I frequently come into contact with wild dogs or loose hunting dogs in the wetland and I needed a knife that doesnʻt inhibit work but could whip out if a dog attacked me by surprise (I know, fat chance of survival but anything is better than nothing). If you want a small utility knife bigger than a box cutter but smaller than a solid pocket knife for tasks, get this.
If you want a self-defense device around your neck, sabre red pepper gel flip top on a lanyard may be more effective than a blade.

All it does is tear paper.
It doesn't even have enough of an edge to pull at your arm hair, let alone, cut it!
The sheath is impossibly tight!
The chain would probably break if you tried to pull the knife from it as a neck knife.
The clip isn't strong enough.
The whole thing will pull out of your jean pocket. Good enough grip for a thick belt.
Apparently, there are two sizes.
I assumed this was the one I saw at a local store, but it's about half the size. Other than that, they look identical.
The only practical use for this size would be for opening boxes.
This certainly is not a defensive or tactical knife, unless of course you intend to cause an attacker to laugh himself to death!
If it were actually sharper than a butter knife, and your only intended use was opening boxes, it would be a handy little (tiny) knife.
Sadly, it fails on all points.
Going back tomorrow.

Davvero piccolo; per una mano come la mia che guanta 9,1/2 è difficile da utilizzare anche con tre dita e comunque la sensazione complessiva è di avere a che fare con un "temperino".
Il mio esemplare risulta ben affilato.
Per un neck knike la clip da tasca fà spessore (senza invece è davvero ben occultabile) e per toglierla ci vuole una brucola, quindi il fodero è sì versatile ma poco pratico (stessa brucola per orientare in inclinazione il fodero).
フルタングのネックナイフですが、チェーンを外してグリップをベルトに挟むこともできます。ブーツは持っていませんが、グリップをブーツに挟めばブーツナイフとしても使えそうですが、グリップで挟むだけではブーツナイフとしては不安定だと思います。
肝心の切れ味が良くないので少し研いでみます。
Con la compra muy satisfecho, ya que lo adquirí estando rebajado, y el envío perfecto, todo en un día, con el producto precintado en una caja tipo blister, así que lo recomiendo si te gustan este tipo de filos.
