The overall length on this one is 7". Too long for a neck knife?    :rolleyes:

I call this a "personal carry". The blade is
3 1/8 inch with an overall length of about 7 inches. The ferule is bronze and the wood is African Blackwood. Lin

Boy they are all really nice. How long should the overall length be for a neck knife? You all are making it really hard to decide...    :campfire:

Lewis, You like that fat bellied skinner, huh?  ;)  One similar to that is probably going to be one of my knives in this year's St Jude Children's Hospital raffle here in a few months, so imagine that knife with gorgeous tiger maple scales and start saving your pennies  :D

Yeah that wood and damascus works really well.I like it a lot,but I can't tell how big it is. I'm wanting something kind of on the small but not too small side. I may end up using mine I pictured above previously. it's 7" o.a. though.

Here is my first try at a neck knife 6 1/2" long with a helle blade. You don't even notice it when you have it on.

Bill, it's not damascus, it's high carbon steel, clay coated during the heat treat to differentially harden it, then etched to show the temper line  :D

My neck knife has a 3" blade and is about 7" OAL, so the one you posted a pic of would definitely work for a neck knife (real nice knife btw)  The lower knife in my first pic is based on Doug Campbell's popular caper knife, and is 6-3/4" OAL, or there-abouts.  I've made 3 or 4 in that style and find them really handy.  I cleaned and butchered two deer with one last year to prove to a guy you don't need a 5" blade to clean a deer  :)

I didn't think I'd like a neck knife until I tried one.  Now I wear mine most of the time when I'm not at work.
