Compact fixed-blade carry

Neck knives are generally smaller than full-size field knives and can offer straightforward access without taking up pocket space. Weight, overall length and sheath retention vary by model, so check the individual product specifications before choosing.

Some models use skeletonised handles for reduced weight, while others have fitted scales for additional grip. Sheaths may use moulded polymer, Kydex-style materials or other constructions depending on the product.
