Personally, I consider a hidden necklace knife as one of the top tools of survival. Also, if one wants to stand out in the community of top survivalists, then this knife is simply a must-have. Neck knives are not only lightweight but also compact in size which makes them perfect to be carried as a necklace.
Apart from this, a hidden necklace knife, as the name indicates, can also be kept hidden from the view by tucking it under your shirt. This aspect makes it also a good tool for self defense where the attacker will definitely get a surprise at the sudden sight of a knife in your hand. A necklace knife can also serve as an everyday-carry-knife. Below is a list of various strengths and weaknesses that are associated with this necklace knife:
1. Accessibility
If you are carrying a tool right next to your heart, then it indicates its ready availability. As is the case with this knife which is actually carried around the neck, right next to the heart. There is no need to search in your backpack or have a knife dangling from your waist when you have it right next to your heart. Moreover, there is also no way you could lose it; therefore, this knife is perfectly built to be used in defense and survival without any delay or hesitation.
2. Portability
A knife is also your weapon; therefore, carrying a knife in your backpack, or having it dangle from your waistband is never a good option. Additionally, an unconcealed knife exhibits the risk of raising some unnecessary alarm and might unnecessarily prompt your attacker to use some deadly force against you.
3. Perfect Blade
Many necklace knives are made of semi-serrated blades, which make them a perfect survival tool with regard to cutting branches and performing other tasks. Also, the blade of a typical necklace knife is a fixed one which exhibits strength and durability.
4. Practical Use
This knife is not only for show or to add to your pretty nice collection; this is actually a very practical knife which comes handy when you are planning some adventure in the wilderness and camping out with your friends. With this knife, you will have it ready to be used at any time without getting blocked or hindered by the straps of a backpack.
5. Difficulties in Knife Deployment
You might have some serious struggle with deploying the knife while someone is strangling your neck. You would want to look out for that.
