I wanted to add a neck knife to my collection and this model was recommended as a good starter.
When you get the knife, you also get the case and a bit of 550 paracord. Modding this kit is extensive, you can do a lot to make this a mini EDC.
It’s smaller than I expected, but it is a heavy knife. It’s a thick piece of metal. Another feature is the bottle opener and wire snapper. The bottle opener works well but make sur you have the knife in a case before you start holding the blade.
I haven’t used this knife to its full potential yet, I’ve haven’t been in situations where I used it enough.
Let me know what you think of this knife.
The Becker Necker is the quintessential neck knife.
Updated with 1095 CroVan steel, a redesigned sheath, and marked with the new BK&T KA-BAR stamps, the Necker is the same quality performer it has always been…only better.
Black plastic injection molded glass-filled nylon sheath and 550 cord included. Also note that the revised sheath for the Necker was designed to work with the TDI Metal Belt Clip, #1480CLIP. This allows for easy on and off mounting to a belt, in a boot, or on a tactical vest.
