My Neck Knife Collection (2019) National Knife Day Special !!!

[@Surago]

You’ve got more neck knives than I’ve got knives.

[@Aconitum_napellus]

You should get more knives.

[@theknifeconnection9571]

That’s funny. Wish I could afford 80 butter knives let alone. Decent quality knives. I collect. Have a few. But nothing significant

"Hi jeff Smith. Welcome."

[@jeffsmith6717]

Hey

[@The66Leadfoot]

You've always got some great insights as to the use of knives. Today you taught me to bring my Condor Plan A with me next time the missus and I go to the Keg.

[@bothompson4911]

I usually carry three knives, the CRKT Minamalist bowie style, is my neck knife, the BRKT Highlander special is my belt knife, an the Spyderco Tenacious with a large zip tie, tip up, is my pocket knife, an as I carry the Highland special on my strong side at 3:00 I also carry one of four pistols at 4:00, so occasionally care the CRKT spewin a cross draw at 9:00 to 10:00.

[@thepowerbill1]

I’ve carried a neck knife everyday for at least 20 years. You must get yourself a Murray Carter neck knife. They are the best!

[@IVoyager-lj9it]

That ... is ... addiction level knives. That being said, very awesome collection! ;-)

[@comfusedWorldpassanger3399]

Yes, I wear a neck knife almost daily. I have some skeleton knives that are used every now and then, but the one I use the most is a Bark River Bravo edc. A great little knife and useful in most situations.

[@darthblade2016]

I have an Eldris with a fire steel for when im camping and i have a CRKT Minimalist that ive been carrying for a while now. Just received the Swordtail yesterday and not fan of carrying it with the belt option it comes with. Switching to neck knife to try out a larger neck knife than im used to.

[@jonbowles508]

Thank you so much for this I showed it to my wife she feels so much better about my 30 neck knife collection!

[@j.medina3740]

Totally love the swordtail I ordered from you. Thanks, Jeff!!

[@cutlerylover]

glad to hear it, working on getting everyone the necklace thats suppose to come with it

[@thepowerbill1]

I’ve carried a neck knife everyday for at least 10 years or so and LOVE them. My favorite is a Murray Carter Clave with Koa handle. It’s perfect! I occasionally switch it out for an Evans Companion, Bark River Bravo, Emerson LaGriffe, or a Tops Little Bugger. I’ve been waiting for this video. Many thanks!

[@MrCDRWilson]

Happy National Knife Day Jeff! I've been watching your vids for about a decade now, can't believe it's been so long and I'm so glad you are keeping it going strong. Keep up the amazing videos :) I love the concept of neck knives but just always have strayed away. Folders just get the job done for me

[@DarkDao]

CRKT Minimalist is my jam for many years. With Ontario RAT1 or CRKT Hammond Cruiser that's all i need from folder+neck setup.

[@martinneps9387]

The knife that is called the M Tex where can I purchase one of those I would like to buy 1 Please comment back thank you

[@gadgetstalker2]

Mtech is the company. Just Google it. They're sold everywhere including Amazon

[@patriceb26]

Bonjour So which one is the best for bushcraft ?

[@TheForsaken939]

Can you do a knife collection update?

[@johnborges8231]

I only have 1 neck knife and it’s a CRKT minimalist Bowie which I love and carry everyday. Love your channel and thank you for the constant content

[@camon2wheels587]

Which one would you recommend a Spearhead stonewashed neck knife or would you recommend Kilimanjaro Stretta Neck Knife looking for something comfortable for me would be worn alot

[@pigpaul]

Looking for a fixed belt knife for my EDC. Also where can I get a better kydex sheath?? Thanks.

[@HARMARSCH2]

cutlerylover I don’t carry my Brous Silent Soldier are my neck but I keep it on my belt at my back just in case. I honestly don’t know if Neck Knives are Legal in Canada.

[@jgbullen]

THE PERSON WHO NEEDS CUTTING SHOULD NEVER KNOW THAT HE WAS CUT WITH AN ILLEGAL KNIFE.

[@The66Leadfoot]

You can carry a knife in Canada as long as it isn't "intimidating" or concealed.

[@LuisHernandez-dz1md]

I really love the knifes you designed and made I wish I had the funds to buy one when they were available I definitely would have worn that around the neck proud

[@scottcarr2871]

Jeff, I dont have a neck knife any recomendation on one. I dont care one as I wear ties and dress clothes all day. I would like to get a inexpensive one to wear while working around the house. Any suggestions or recomendation.

[@franco402]

He just showed you like 50 of them...

[@Nohkral]

I've never had a neck knife. If I could only buy 1 what should I buy?

[@7porkchop8]

I'm new to channel. Awesome videos so far. Really good video. I carry CRKT or Cold steel neck knives daily. Couldn't go without it. Love all of your neck knives and hope to come across some of these you have mentioned. I realize I'm 2 yrs out but still hope to come across some of the. To add to my collection.

[@BrewCityRider]

That's a lot of neck knives my friend! Enjoyed seeing all of them. Ever try the SOG mini instinct? I think you'd love it.

[@johntoes1260]

😍😍

[@chras1185]

Could someone link me the knives at 4:49??? I know they are MTech but I cannot find them for shit.

[@blindmelonlemonjello]

Im looking forward to winter i neck carry fullsized fixed blades. My favorite one is the fallkniven F1

[@thenorthernwoodsman3455]

I have a CRKT minimalist drop point that I love, but the retention isnt great so I only use it in the kitchen. I also have an Eskabar, but i keep it strapped to my EDC kit.

[@Dingdongwitchisdead]

But how many get used?

[@OCD4EDC]

Jeff, I received my Swordtail a few days ago. I was a little confused when I opened the box, because I thought I was buying a neck knife, mine is not. Overall I'm ok with the purchase. The knife is a lot more ergonomic than it looks, so that part is great. I'm happy with the blade itself, which is the most important thing. The sheath on the other hand is barely usable. The generic clip can only be mounted in one spot for vertical carry only, none of the other holes are spaced correctly. It did not come with the neck chain. The scales are removable, however they are required for sheath retention, this seems silly since it's common for "Neck Knives" not to have scales. I was also under the impression, the sheath that would ship with the knife, was going to be smaller and more form fitting than the prototypes you showed. Mine is exactly like the one you have it seems, which I guess is ok if it had a chain. It's a bit disappointing because I really like the knife. Mine was shipped in a really nice magnetic closure box, I would rather that cost be put into a nice sheath with a chain! Again you did a great job on the knife! It really sucks a great design was diminished by a shitty sheath. Just like a bad clip on a folder, a bad sheath will stop me from carrying a knife I otherwise really like. Sorry to be bitching about this, I'm just a little disappointed. Thanks for all of the content!

[@benwilson7870]

I’ve tried carrying a neck knife in the past, but there are a couple of reasons I don’t still. First was that the weight of the knife bothered me and almost a sore neck. Secondly I didn’t like it rubbing against me all the time. Last I already wear a necklace and I didn’t like having a second string or other necklace around my neck. You have an awesome collection though and I love the video!

[@mikeboyce21]

I know this is an old video but just thought this is worth mentioning. I edc the tops Alligator alley as my neck knife. It is great if you want a super tough multi functional neck knife. It doubles as a bottle opener, pot lifter, gigging spear head, wire stripper, wire/fence snapper, prybar, large flathead screwdriver, scraper and ok can opener in a pinch. And perhaps more things i haven't thought of yet.

[@Wrh3rm]

Jeff I would LOVE a 2022 update to this video!!

[@christopherbattles68]

I got CRKT years ago after you mentioning it. Only one I have had. Have it on all the time except for in water or running. Thank you for recommending it.

[@jacobokubo7726]

My favorite neck knife is the Bradfords gnecker . i have two. One satin blade wrapped with baseball bat tape and i very small lanyard. The other is all black and just a thick chunk of elmax

[@Yoko.Kurama]

What kind of knot do you tie on the part that goes around your neck?

[@xzane85x]

I own a crkt minimalist and a crkt bita and sadly i dont find a use to them. I find carrying a neck knife very uncomfortable.

[@anthonyzornes8006]

Wow i cant beleve how many knifes me and you have alike .i have the orange leduck and the black one and most of your knifess we have are the same .i want one of your knifes you made if interested let me know

[@danofiremano]

The CRKT Folts' are probably my current faves, but lately I've been rocking my Spyderco Serge CF Dog Tag.

[@brucemcconnell1467]

I have a few neck knives and have found that, for me, they don't work. My smallest is a Hummingbird from Rike knives. The largest is a custom one-off made by Kyle Noseworthy I use it only for food use. The others have either been traded off or stay in my knife collection. I may start using them again but who knows. Thanks for the look-see.

[@tectardedprepper8954]

My EDC is a dedicated belt knife custom Damascus , I also carry a mini multi-tool on my keys and sometimes a pocket folder . I don't carry a neck knife because I have never owned one . I may buy one or ask for one as a birthday gift or maybe Christmas 😁 . Thanks for the great videos and a special hello to Gus and your wife . God Bless You and Your Family 🙏 🇺🇸♥️

[@SeVeN-A7]

I've carried a custom ECOS knives karidashi for 2years now hands down my fav!!! Just got your swordtail in the mail few hours ago I'll be putting it through its paces soon!!

[@lonetrader1]

That sog gnarl is an amazing defense blade with multiple holding options, the clip slides onto my belt buckle perfectly

[@bramstaal156]

I love my brous blades v1. Really want the ranger tho. Is it tru the finger hole is bigger?

[@geneaddleman4144]

what is the one on the top left, left from the orange. the silver one looks like a straight blade karambit? im looking for a edc 3 inch blade with the pammel ring

[@darkwolf-fy3du]

he had the bowie minimalist in the tanto sheath or did i see that wrong??

[@reidguhr5313]

melvin bouman they made one sheath that fits the Bowie tanto and drop point in the same one so they don’t have to make multiple styles

[@darkwolf-fy3du]

@@reidguhr5313 reallly? do they sell it seperatly??? thnx for letting me know thats really cool

[@drakomilitia_tutusam_ecto4933]

How would I buy one of ur knives that are u brand?

[@cutlerylover]

thanks but I dont have my own brand just my own designs but the neck knife I designed is gone and not for sale anymore unless you find it on ebay

[@Xxxero42]

I love the CRKT Minimalist. I bought one once, loved it. My brother commented how much he liked it, so I gave it to him. Ordered another. I lost that one somewhere (I think it's in my house somewhere??) But I have another on its way to me as we speak.

[@JAB671]

I don't have nearly as many neck knives as you but I do have a few. My current favorite is my BK14 aka 'Eskabar'. I like that, although not a long blade, it has a nice, thick, stout blade that can be used for doing heavier knife tasks if needed. My second favorite (maybe a strange choice) is my Gerber Bear Grylls paracord knife (I think I saw one in your group shot at the beginning.) Again, a bit stouter blade than many neck knives. Most of the Gerber BG stuff holds no interest for me but the paracord knife is pretty good. I sanded the bright orange off of the BG on the sheath, swapped the bright orange paracord for a darker (more like flat dark earth) color, made a kydex ferro rod holder to attach to it and have a small keychain flashlight attached to the sheath with a ranger band. Makes for a really good camping/hiking neck knife setup. I reprofiled the edge to convex, keep it razor blade sharp and have even used it to baton through reasonably sized pieces of wood to make kindling. I also like the Cold Steel mini-tac line (have the skinner which has a blade reminiscent of a sharpfinger) and the Beavertail (kind of a leaf shaped blade.) I have a CRKT minimalist Bowie and like it but it is a little small for my tastes. I also have a CRKT S.P.E.W. - my only Warncliff type blade. I like it and figure it would be good for defensive use but as an EDC type knife the tip is just a bit too fine and fragile.

[@JusttJackk]

Brilliant video my friend my carry option is limited as I live in the Uk but my favourite neck knife to carry is my condor otzi neck knife fantastic little knife

[@willisfleming2893]

What about the edc companion?

[@c.r.b.6971]

Hi I’m disabled and have neuropathy that is the loss of feelings in you hands and feet. I have a very severe case among other back problems. I’m a long time knife collector and have at one time have had $50,000 worth of knives but that was before my injuries now I’m only buying knives to carry and use. I only carry neck knives or knives that I converted to carry around the neck. My disability forces me to spend my life sitting down so neck knives are my perfect choice I’ve even carried folders in a custom leather sheath I converted to neck carry. My pockets are useless to me so most things I carry either go around my neck or in my front pocket. I did just order the Rockstead Chou in Ironwood handles I will get it tomorrow can’t wait.

[@RobertFireLionBlueHawkWinkler]

I love neck knives. I currently wear a Cold Steel Tokyo Spike (my favorite) and have just got a CRKT Obake. I used to wear a Schrade SCHF5N but have since retired it to my EDC bag.

[@geico1975]

I'm about to order my first neck knife and had it narrowed down to two, Cold Steel Mini Tac or the Morakniv Eldris. Of course, I'll probably end up with both in the future:) However, after watching this video, I like the DUCK from Outdoor Edge. Would you recommend one over the other as a first buy? Thanks.

[@magicshon]

Thats a nice collection. I wear the Minimalist, though i have attached it to my belt instead as its so small you wont ven notice it there. Id actually love to find a knife similary sized and comfortable but in a better steel, any sugestions? BTW i kinda wanna see you wear all of these at once, might be some kind of world record.

[@junmcl]

magicshon id suggest looking at the Benchmade follow up 101. It has cpm s30v steel, and is very similar in size. It goes for about $100, and it has great value for what you get.

[@garyalensr]

You my friend are one lucky guy, I had the Cold Steel Spike and absolutely loved it. I carried it every day until the day I had my home broke into and it was stolen along with a couple of my firearms. I'd give a kidney or lung to have one hanging around my neck again!!! Great video as always. Keep up the awesome work. I know your from P.A and we from P.A have love for ya

[@ahilbilyredneksopinion]

Ok....I have a blade for every day of the week,two for deep conceal, and one for swimming occasions,and I thought I had enough....now I'm jealous and need one for every day of the year like you I think....lol

[@northslope1]

I carry two or three knives while elk hunting so I don't need to worry about sharpening while dressing out an elk....or two. The Le Duck is always with me.

[@skycorrigan6511]

You've got more neck knives than I have self respect

[@kevinbuckner2836]

If you have any boot knives make a video on that please

[@joshuataft5541]

I carry a neck knife somtimes but it's a cheap crapy one somtimes I wory about it coming out our the kydex but if I had a nice one I'd b my favorite.man you've come a long way buddy .I dream of one of your knives the cl one is the coolest knives I've seen in along time 🎄🙏merry Christmas bud

[@arcadefighterredbeard]

your collection is cool, thanks for sharing.

[@CheezMonsterCrazy]

Just got my Swordtail. Its excellent. Super clean looking, really appreciate the idea to have all the markings incognito.

[@cutlerylover]

glad to hear it, working on getting everyone the necklace thats suppose to come with it

[@TH-bl9gg]

I didn't see the Spyderco Ark, I was wondering if you in fact have the Spyderco Ark , and if so what are your thoughts on that particular one?

[@joeMopar412]

Started off with the Izua 2 and *downgraded from there a couple times. I carry a UTX-70 in a kydex neck sheath on a black ball-chain. It just comes down to weight. If it's too heavy, you won't wear it..

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

I have a few small knives the last ones I built but one of them just came in today it's the Masalong it looks like a scalpel and really the sheath is too big for a neck knife with the knife itself has a ring around it like a karambit and it has handle scales a very well-made seat it's chinese-made but it's one of those quality-wise for the money I thought you'd ever I need to put a little edge on and see how good it holds it takes but it's more for defense I believe so it doesn't have to keep it as just take one. I really like those Cold Steel Spike series Bell like the original when's the small ones they were poured rap like the Scottish back and all those Spike movies or whatever I had some and I had to sell my collection or a lot of my collection and those cheap knives went with it but now those little originals Fox are going for $80 on eBay and they used to go for like $23 brand new anyway pretty cool knives!

[@viperr007]

Do you still have the knife you lost on the road and found later

[@cutlerylover]

the one I lost and found was given to my friend however I got a new version of it not seen in this video because its at another location

[@MB-jg4tr]

Thanks for this, I can show my girl that I don't have too many :) Nice collection Cheers

[@zacblurton8218]

The le duck does come with a black grip i have one

[@l.no.solace7209]

If you carry like 5 at a time or one on each limb then you can actually rotate through them at a reasonable pace

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

What steel is the Le Duck jeff? I saw this before on your channel and liked it, but had forgotten about it. Awsome collection!! More story time please!! Your old school story times are the sh*t!! Demon lady, shit the bed, can't shit at Walmart etc.

[@darkwolf-fy3du]

anyone else noticed he put the crkt minimalist bowie inside a tanto version sheath??? no hate seriously curious hahaha

[@bencessna7232]

I have the le duck knife with the orange handle. I love the knife but wish the blade steel was better and held a better edge. I also have the bear grills knife that i carry as a neck knife when fishing and camping

[@richardhenry1969]

My first neck knife I bought was $10 MTech . I bought it 16 years ago. Mtech gets a bad wrap but many fixed blades from them are very useful. Maybe not the best steel but they sharpen very easy they are tough. My other favorite from MTech is the 151 I paid $25 I’ve split hard wood and it’s a great knife. My absolute favorite neck knife is Utica utkn2 . It’s like $40 and it’s like a izula 2 that has better grind sheath and G10. The crkt I’m not a fan of. Junk steel the MTech is better. I also like the La duck. Everyone I know loves it.

[@vulcangunner58]

Just got my Swordtail from Bastion...Love it already. The only marking on the knife is "D2" on the spine. Strange that it has no serial number.

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

Hey! Better to have & not need than to need & not have. 👍 My collection is going to be up there, too. I'm still trying to make up my mind.

[@MaultschenPruegel]

You are crazy. I carry the mora for collecting mushrooms. Greetings from germany. Thank you 4 the Video.

[@jmsmith1767]

Love love love your collection videos I would LOVE to see a collection video of your traditional (case etc) I only owned one up until about 6 years ago when I saw you show your cases for your Texas toothpicks now I own probably over 60

[@blatherama]

I like using neck knives around the house. (Can't carry them publicly in Japan.) I've got a pair of MT Knives Genesis IIs and a small Gavko Titanium fixed blade that, while not technically a neck knife, works well as one.

[@jmsmith1767]

I only own two neck knives I really just found it to be annoying to wear, not surprising because I hate wearing anything around my neck, I even clip my school ID to my shirt. Also being a high school teacher I would only be able to wear it after school or on weekends.

[@jrosalia]

First thing I noticed was the MT knives Genesis. 👍👍

[@joshuataft5541]

Cold steel spike is cool for sure

[@Rumeel12708]

Check out the Active Response Karambit(ARK) Im planning on buying it.

[@patrickvanovermeeren4513]

Wow.....that is a lot of knives . Good collection ! Yes , I a do wear a neck knife.

[@maxscott3349]

I don't carry a knife around my neck. I have a golf cart I ride around a lot, and move heavy objects a lot, and the last thing I need while doing that is something around my neck to get snagged on something. I also don't really need one. I can reach into my pocket and pull out a specific knife out of four or five or sometimes more objects that I keep in my pocket in a fraction of a second nine times out of ten, and the other time it takes a second or two. It's really not a problem. I've carried a lot of stuff in my pockets for more or less my entire life. It's not a problem. Edit: typo

[@earendil8844]

Awesome collection brother. My go to neck knife is the Esee Candiru.

Just got a spyderco subway, a brilliant little knife,and don't even notice it's on me 😊

[@KyleTheDalek]

Nice man! I’ve been looking all over for a six bladed knife but can’t find one anywhere. I’m guessing they are pretty rare? The closest I’ve found to one is a 4 bladed one.

[@smeegychee2583]

But why 6 blades?

[@natefigueroa9239]

jeff or geff or geoff i forget i’m drunk but i love your videos i appreciate your dedication and your passion for knifes. i share that same passion. keep the great videos coming. you really deserve to be the top youtuber on youtube. i’ve been watching from 50k subs. i live in Pa and wish nothing more then to meet you one day! my neighbor introduced me to knives when I was young and i went to youtube to learn more about them and you were there along with nuttenfancy. but i don’t watch him anymore i don’t even know if he makes videos any more but thank you for being real and showing us your real personality and options on knifes. i think you should start a patron. i’m currently really poor but in the process of starting a business. i’m working hard every day to get my self to they point to where i’m not living paycheck to paycheck. but in the next coming weeks i’m gonna be able to have some expendable income and would absolutely donate or just plan out give you money. i have had the thought of sending you an envelope with some money in it because for at least 1 year i watched your videos with ad block. dude your an OG youtuber with a real vibe. i wish nothing but the best for you and your wife. i remember when it was just single geff making videos for a hobby and just loving what you were doing. every one on youtube puts on this persona and try’s to be something that their not on youtube. but not you, your a real person and it really shows on your youtube page. thank you geff your a crazy inspiration for me!

[@BODE318]

Ok I think I have a knife addiction, but damn.... you win.

[@jatbatman]

There are four main reasons I don't carry neck knives (I have a few though). The first is I'm not a fan of having stuff around my neck. It's just not comfortable. Second I like to not have to reach under my shirt for access to my knife. Third reason is that anything I have in my neck must be breakaway, because of jobs I've done. And the final and biggest reason is I carry a magnet on a lanyard for my daughter's VNS.

[@decaymusicx]

Have you ever wanted/tried to get into forging your own knives?

[@cutlerylover]

yes I will make my own knives for sure in the future just dont have enough money or time for it yet

[@jgbullen]

Lets face it, all you need is a push dagger. I own 2 sizes. plus my daughter and daughter in law carry the little one when they go out running.I have other small knives I could put on a chain, but will stick with the push dagger

[@jladd68]

I love neck knives, always have.

[@darksight6405]

Nice video! My neck knife collection is similarly big. We could fill a (probably unnecessary) gap in the market together ... Rent a neck knife! 😉

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

I carry one on occasion I only have 2 and really like both one is the sog snarl and a crkt spew
