Good for what it is (not for self defense)

Good for what it is (not for self defense)
I wanted a new neck carry for work at a wetland farm. Needed something to use as an on-the-fly EDC general small utility knife while on the field...something for tasks smaller than what a leatherman tool would require. It works really well on rope, twine, vines and weeds (think clearing vines off a chain link fence), some stems, or for general emergencies. Seems like it could cut a seatbelt with some effort. Very light and after 5 minutes, I forgot the blade was around my neck. Iʻm 5ʻ6" and the top of the sheath is at the top of the sternum, so for me, the necklace is the perfect size.I used to use a Schrade push knife around my neck, but because that was over 6", it had too much movement and weight. It worked better for the same tasks than the smaller blade, but now that I found out the SCHF54 is discontinued, I will keep that reserved as a boot holstered emergency self defense blade.If you are looking for something for emergency self defense (last resort), Iʻd recommend a push knife with a dual sided blade of at least 3". I frequently come into contact with wild dogs or loose hunting dogs in the wetland and I needed a knife that doesnʻt inhibit work but could whip out if a dog attacked me by surprise (I know, fat chance of survival but anything is better than nothing). If you want a small utility knife bigger than a box cutter but smaller than a solid pocket knife for tasks, get this.If you want a self-defense device around your neck, sabre red pepper gel flip top on a lanyard may be more effective than a blade.
