Cervical knife: types, characteristics, recommendations

In today's civilized world, the idea of wearing a knife around the neck, practiced by some tribes living in tropical latitudes, was appreciated. The knife in the circumstances prevailing for these peoples (hot climate and the need to be constantly ready for danger) is the first means for survival. For a European - a man civilized and blissful with all the blessings and comforts - a knife, fastened by a rope to the neck, is considered something exotic.

With external appeal and novelty, this method of fastening is not devoid of practicality. The idea was picked up by many firms manufacturing knives of cervical wear.

This product is an artfully executed product in which the designers take into account all the parameters important for the civilized consumer.

What is considered by the consumer?

  • Security. Cutting product near the neck with insufficient sheathing poses a threat to the owner. To eliminate the danger of injury, the developers are creating very reliable cases, which are made using high-strength laminates.
  • Ease of use. The knife should provide a secure and comfortable grip.
  • Speed of extraction. Many cases are equipped with locks from the G10, allowing you to release the knife when you press a button or a quick jerk.
  • The neck knife should have the optimal mass and dimensions.
  • Use of high-quality steel. Knife companies use the brands D2, AUS-8, AUS-6, VG-10, etc. These steels are characterized by hardness and resistance to corrosion.
  • Aesthetics. The cervical knife, unlike many hunting products, should attract, and not scare away, because, besides being a weapon, it also performs the function of decorating. Special attention is paid to the style of the developers. As a result, very beautiful, bright and useful cervical knives come on sale. Photos in the article represent the design features of these products.

Bear Claw

Professional hunter and conductor from Alaska Russ Commerce, having a rich experience of staying in the forest, developed his own knife. The cervical blade of his project resembles a claw of a bear. The idea was taken up by an American firm Columbia River Knife & Tool, which produces neck crocheting products.

"The bear's claw": the shape of the blade

Bear Claw - this name received a knife, as the shape of his blade was identical to a formidable weapon - the claw of a bear. Concave, with a severely curved cutting edge, he could rip open the body of the victim both when thrusting, and when pulling out of the wound. Given that the steel can be sharpened and it will be much sharper than the claw of the beast, the idea of making neck knives of this shape was accepted by the manufacturers with enthusiasm. Due to its shape and qualitative grinding, this neck knife with small dimensions represents a formidable weapon even in a hand unadapted for combat. To improve grip in the handle, there is a small hole for the finger, due to which the knife tightly sits in the palm of your hand and does not slip even when it is opened. The only drawback, according to users, is the tangible weight of the handle.

What is it for?

Blade without additional efforts can cause shallow and extensive wounds, which is fraught with pain shock and rapid loss of blood. This tactic of action is inherent in a formidable beast. This neck knife is highly specialized - as an instrument it is ineffective, since it can not be used in everyday life.

Despite this, such blades have their own consumer, mainly among women and the elderly, who use this weapon as a means of self-defense.

Knife crocheted Spyderco

When creating their own neck knives, this manufacturer took into account the lack of "claw of a bear" and removed the excess metal from the handle. The form of this manufacturer's products resembles the Latin letter S. The abdomen formed behind the concave arch is intended for convenient and effective cutting. For cervical knives is characterized by wavy sharpening, which improves the process of ripping.

As a result of the modifications, the blade turned into a frame product, faced with a miracle card. Due to this, the weight of the knife has decreased substantially without changing its strength. But such a blade became inconvenient in retention. This drawback is characteristic of many neck knives with frame construction. The lighter the handle, the more uncomfortable the knife lies in the palm of your hand. To correct this deficiency is difficult even when creating an ergonomic shape of the blade.

This drawback in the design of the handle is compensated by the presence on its surface of spraying from a rough plastic.

This positively affects the convenience of grasping and comfortable use of the knife. The product also has a disadvantage - it is too oversized and heavy.
