What Is a Neck Knife?

A neck knife is a small, fixed-blade knife worn around the neck using a chain or paracord. It is typically housed in a lightweight, secure sheath (often Kydex or leather) that allows quick and easy access in emergencies or survival situations. Unlike folding knives, a neck knife is always ready for immediate use no fumbling, no delay.

Thanks to their minimalist design, low weight, and discreet profile, neck knives have become a favorite choice among campers, hunters, hikers, survivalists, and even military personnel.
