neck knives - what do you use?

[motts]

I recently started wearing a small AG Russell hunters scalpel as a neck knife while fishing and find it way more practical than I imagined, but it's not really built to do any serious (or even semi-serious beyond cleaning a fish) work with. As a result, I've been looking at other options like the Esee Candiru (I already own an Izula but feel like it would be too cumbersome). If you wear a neck knife, what model is it and why did you choose it?

Izula and tops tibo

tops crow hawk caught my attention also
If u like Scandinavia grind the tops mini scandi

most of these will probably also be too cumbersome for u

I carry a benchmade altitude when hunting and love it I’ve skinned and deboned 1 cow elk 3 Missouri whitetail And two turkeys without sharpening getting ready to have them sharpen it using there life sharp program

I'm willing to try the Izula seeing how I already own it, but I'll have to either purchase or make a kydex sheath for it first.

Everyone who has the Altitude seems to like it, but I see it as too "task-specific" - breaking down an animal - to be a true necker.

Check out Murray Carter of Carter cutlery. His stuff is spendy but I believe they are the best made neck knives in the world. Handmade in Hillsboro, OR.

I agree I wouldn’t use it for everyday use it’s pretty thin and would have to assume it’s maybe a little brittle as hard as the steele would have to be to hold an edge like it does but for skinning deboning and so light I forget I’m wearing it it is awesome

ESEE IZULA is always with me in the woods. The handle is wrapped in paracord and is on a paracord lanyard. It's both convenient and quick to access.

The ESEE CR 2.5 is a great little knife that I carry at all times. The Izula or the Izula 2 are also good knives. Their warranty is great if you ever have to use it.
