Hey Alan, I was checkin around the forum looking at others' neck knives and they all seem to be reasonably smaller, would a knife like the pukko, FNBK, or fiddlebacks runt be too hard on your neck after awhile? I don't really care for the izula style neck knives without a sOlid handle however I kinda dig the paracors handle. I know you carry yours over your shoulder so it's probably no issue on your neck.
