There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.

Davvero piccolo; per una mano come la mia che guanta 9,1/2 è difficile da utilizzare anche con tre dita e comunque la sensazione complessiva è di avere a che fare con un "temperino".
Il mio esemplare risulta ben affilato.
Per un neck knike la clip da tasca fà spessore (senza invece è davvero ben occultabile) e per toglierla ci vuole una brucola, quindi il fodero è sì versatile ma poco pratico (stessa brucola per orientare in inclinazione il fodero).
フルタングのネックナイフですが、チェーンを外してグリップをベルトに挟むこともできます。ブーツは持っていませんが、グリップをブーツに挟めばブーツナイフとしても使えそうですが、グリップで挟むだけではブーツナイフとしては不安定だと思います。
肝心の切れ味が良くないので少し研いでみます。
Con la compra muy satisfecho, ya que lo adquirí estando rebajado, y el envío perfecto, todo en un día, con el producto precintado en una caja tipo blister, así que lo recomiendo si te gustan este tipo de filos.
