About Neck Knives
Neck knives are not just one of those crosses you see people wear that have a little half inch blade that slides out the bottom. A neck knife is a real blade. It is usually held up by a paracord or breakaway chain that loops around the neck. They're generally more useful in outdoors situations or at job sites. Others would tend to look at you funny if you walked around a busy mall with one hanging from your neck in plain view.
Even so, wearing one in places where it's not an issue is a good idea. For one, you always have a knife. And if you get lost in the woods or stranded somewhere you'll have the most basic of survival tools. If you don't have a knife when lost in the woods for any length of time, you're pretty much screwed.
Anyway, I've made a much more informative page on my other site. You can check it out here: http://www.squidoo.com/neck-knife
