New Neck Knife

[Lumber_Jack]

I wanted a Cold Steel kneck knife, but was too cheap to come off the bucks. I settled for this little guy and it has sharpened up quite well for under $20. Of course the first thing I had to do was doll it up with 550 cord and a compass (in case I ever get lost on the way back from the grocery story).

First thing I did was heat the kydex up a little bit and press it with the knife inside. I didn't wanna take a chance of it falling out and that helped. Of course that meant the breakaway connector didn't work as OhShoot said. It came un-snapped when I yanked the knife out.

Not sure if you can tell in the photo, but the black paracord around the lanyard handle can be cinched up pretty tight against the handle. This acts a little like extending the handle, allowing me to wrap all 4 fingers around the handle and paracord together.

My wife says I go over the top with paracord...is there a 12-step program?

I like that. I'm a fan of para cord. I do believe you can overdue it. I plan on making some sort of lanyard extension for mine just to help with acquiring a grip
