Neck knife suggestions

[andyxedos]

Thinking of treating myself to a nice new neck knife and wondered if anyone had any suggestions? Would prefer fixed blade (not essential though) and traditional looking rather than being all black and tactical looking
if it happens to come with a sheath so much the better

Cheers!!

this is a small Buck knife i carry as a necker, small, strong and holds a great edge,

Have you thoiught about making your own?, ive just finished one and it was easier than you might think, no power tools used as i dont own any, bar a drill.

More about it on my blog, http://kepisbushcraft.blogspot.com/2012/02/knife-build.html and in this thread on the forum http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85838

I have a lovely necker from Rob Evans of this Parish, is a great user.

Taken a back seat since I acquired a Bark River Mini Canadian. That is a very cool little blade which despite being very compact really punches above its weight.

I alternate between a couple:
First is a necker made by driftwoodwalker (who is on here) - O1 Tool steel, wide variety of handle choices, very reasonable price (

The second was a bit more pricey. I bought it from someone on here. Its a bison bushcraft bushmans pal in 154cm steel

both very good knives

Marc how you getting on with the Bark river mini. Keep thinking about one for myself. At the moment i have a Robevs knecker and its a wick little thing, really easy to use and wicked sharp.

For me, a neck knife has to be lightweight. I think this carver from Japan Woodworker makes a great necker. Mighty fine little bird and trout knife too.

Love it! Really is the business for what I want in a small blade, wicked sharp, good grind and sits well in my massive hands! Sheath is ambidextrous (lefty) so really nothing not to like for me!

Drop me a line if you are getting one from overseas, fancy another barky and Mrs B like the Mini Canadian so we could share shipping and I might know a man!

Will look into that mate and let ya know. Has Mrs played with the trapper yet?

Grohmann Bird and trout, flat grind. Weighs next to nothing and fits the hand lovely. I think you can get them in kit form to save a few bob.

I carry a Mora 510. One of those that RM was selling a while back. Perfect small knife.

Fallkniven WM1?

 

[Corso]

I'm a big fan of the kephart style so i've one of these on the way

[/QUOTE]

but on a budget you cantgo wrong with an izula

I quite liked this one posted by Nektarios the other day.

I use a Mora in a kydex sheath, easier to keep clean but perhaps a bit to tactical.

 

[andyxedos]

Thanks for the replies!! The wm1 and bushman pal are the sort of thing im looking for but way too expensive for me at the moment :-( the mora looks good as well but they seem like gold dust?
Any cheaper options?

 

[andyxedos]

Now that is gorgeous but I have a feeling it wont fit into the "affordable" part of the description lol

This is mine, Its a mora classic 2.0, nice,light, and small but fills the hand and is laser sharp, Lou1661 made the cracking sheath,

Now thats a bit tasty,please tell me more as i can't quite see the makers mark,thanks.

Have a look at:-

Tom Krein pocket Bowie(great bang for your buck)Heinnie have them but they sell out straight away,hence out of stock at the moment.
Buck Hartshook neck knife(Quality S30V Steel)also at Heinnies.
Condor neck knife if you prefer carbon steel.
Boker Plus Fitz.
BK&T Becker Necker.

One day i will learn how to post links

I like the look of the neck knives by Ben Orford on this page http://www.benorford.com/CarvingTools.aspx

I've not tried them so I don't know how practical they are but I have seen them in the flesh and they look very nice indeed.
