Best USA made neck knife under 4.5 inches?

[Noswad0208]

I have an Izula, but want something a little smaller.

Assuming you are talking 4" blade length, I like my BK-11 san mai.

Runner up would be the TOPS/Buck CSAR-T Liason.

If you want high end, a BUSSE Bear Cub or a Hinderer Flashpoint.

Bark River Bravo Micro is a good one. So is their necker. Do you want a traditional styled knife? Meaning a regular handle blade config? If not and you are open to other styles, the Survive Knives Necker is great. I have two. Also the Spartan Blades Enyo is nice.

My favorite neckers are...

Survive Necker
Spartan Blades Enyo
Bark River Bravo Necker
White River Backpacker

Here is my favorite... The backpacker

Spartan Blades Enyo with a 2.7" blade of S35VN (0.19" thick) and goes for about $150 with a kydex sheath. Comes in black or FDE.

"The form fitted Kydex sheath comes with a stainless steel neck chain, IWB loop and para-cord (2') for convenient carry options. Enyo lanyard includes a plated pewter Spartan helmet bead."

Hogue Knives EX-F03 Neck Knife with a 2.25" Hawkbill or Clip Point Blade of 154CM stainless steel and black polymer sheath can be had for about $65!

If you like a Izula how about the esee candiru?

 

[trevitrace]

Not sure if you mean OAL, but I have a Daniel Fairly (member here) Backpacker in Ti. It's right at 6" total, 1/16" thick. I keep mine on my backpack but I'd imagine it would be almost imperceptible hanging around your neck.

White River Backpacker

White River Knuckehead if you are looking for something different

Tops Tibo

These are what came to mind that we sell! I will add to it later if I think of more!

I'm a huge fan of the Tops Tibo. I bought one back in April to replace my Izula and I fell in love. Even without a cord wrap, it stays comfortable and secure, comes with a nice Kydex sheath, and weighs in at 1.9 ounces. It's my primary EDC when I'm around town, and it's my backup when I'm in the woods, where my primary knife becomes my ESEE 3.

Check out Fall Creek Knives. Shannon has recently come out with a new smaller knife called the Urge and they are awesome. Shannon and Bob Carter are both members here and great to deal with.

Dpx gear hest and hest II, both work well in that scenario with the scales removed. Fallkniven kolt, wm 1, or the juni are great knives with excellent steels. There really is no end to the options available here so find one that's visually appealing to you, check out its.specs to see if meets your wants n go from there

The most useful neck knife I own is the Outdoor Edge Wedge. It is 5 inches long but still manages a 2 1/2 inch blade. The next best is the Cold Steel Super Edge which is about 4.5 inches in length. I have a box of neck knives (I went through that phase) and these two are my favorite. My Izula gets pocket carried (try running with one around your neck and see why).
