Neck Knives

Neck knives are relatively small and lightweight knives designed to be worn around the neck on a chain or cord. Sometimes they are also referred to as neck knives. Due to their carrying method, neck knives are quickly accessible, making them particularly useful in outdoor activities. However, there are also numerous collectors who show interest in these compact cutting tools. You can find a wide selection of neck knives at Meister Messer.

Who are Neck Knives suitable for?

Whether you're a camping enthusiast, outdoor fan, or survival expert: Buying a Neck Knife is especially worthwhile for individuals who are out in nature and want to have a versatile tool with them. You can use Neck Knives, for example, to prepare food, but also to carve wood or make shavings for a warming campfire.

The key features of a Neck Knife

Neck knives are characterized above all by a compact design and low weight. In order to ensure a high level of stability or robustness despite this, the knives are usually made from a single piece of metal. They are typically fixed-blade knives. Some models also have cutouts in the handle area to reduce weight.

Usually, the knives are stored in a suitable sheath, which is often already included in the delivery. Often, the knife sheaths are made of Kydex - a thermoplastic material in which the neck knife securely snaps into place. However, leather sheaths with retention straps are also very popular.

What criteria are important when buying Neck Knives?

The model you ultimately choose is always a matter of personal preference. However, there are various factors that appear in almost every Neck Knives test. The design that is suitable depends mainly on the intended use. Another important purchasing criterion is the blade material. Often, knife manufacturers resort to carbon steel, as blades made from this material tend to stay sharp for a long time. However, models made of stainless steel are also offered, which are comparatively easy to care for. A Neck Knife should generally be comfortable to wear. Therefore, it is advisable to also pay attention to the weight of the knife when making a purchase.

In addition, the carrying system is also relevant. You can carry Neck Knives either on a ball chain or on a leather or Paracord strap. Ball chains are thin and can be easily shortened. Furthermore, the chains break under heavy loads, which is intentional. This construction prevents the wearer of the neck knife from being strangled in the event of a fall. Paracord has higher resistance, so here you should ensure with special knots that the cord does not come loose under high tensile load. On the other hand, for those who value a classic look, a model with a leather strap is recommended.
