What's the general thought on these?
For those whom may be into this sort of thing, do you EDC one? What do you have?
I recently bought a few, awaiting the most recent online order. I first bought the SOG Snarl. Hate it passionately! Haven't figured out what I'm going to do with it: keep as a backpack backup, repurpose it with the included belt clip, try to do a YouTube torture test somehow, or just throw it away as the POS I've found it to be so far. I really wanted to like it, as I truly do like 9Cr18MoV. But it's way too thick of a spine with an atrociously steep angle, rendering it useless to me. I should've known better, but I'm impulsive.
The one I like, the Kershaw AM-6, 8Cr13MoV. Acceptable steel, small, light weight and thin, but I'm not a fan of the sheath system or the "handle". Still, it's not bad and, push come to shove, I'd be happy with it in the end.
The one I've ordered and am waiting on, the Fred Perrin Mini-Pic. Is even lighter than the AM-6, smaller in some dimensions and a little larger in others, but overall seems like a decent option, and in a better (IMO) steel, 440C.
Just curious if there's others I should be considering, taken all this into account. To me a neck knife is just a backup to my primary knife at work, and a backup to the backup to my primary daily carry outside work. It will likely see little to no use. It's not even remotely for self defense.
Anyway, thanks all.
