Cold Steel's Mini Tac Neck Knives are so slim and lightweight they can be comfortably worn practically 24 hours a day! With their rugged Secure-Ex sheaths, specially designed to snugly retain the knife while allowing a speedy draw, they can perform as a handy utility or camp blade, everyday carry knife or rescue tool. Each Mini Tac has thin high-quality textured Griv-Ex handle scales. This feature allows them to lie flat and close against the body while still providing a positive gripping surface. When these scales are combined with integral sub hilt they give the fingers of the hand incredible purchase and facilitate a remarkably secure grip that resists rolling or twisting.
AUS-8 Stainless Steel
Offering entry-level to mid-range performance, this Japanese-made stainless steel is easy to maintain and has a long history of high quality.
G10 Handles
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.
Kydex Sheath

Pros: Blade Sharpness, Weight, Overall Quality, Materials, Handle Material
Cons: None
Can't beat this for the price
Contrary to what some may tell you, this knife can be drawn rapidly from the stock sheath in defense/combat situations. You simply alter your technique. Grab the whole sheath and quickly wrap ring and pinky around the butt of the handle and draw. You need not adjust your grip to deploy and effectively make use of this devastating blade. Love the hollow grind and reinforced tip. Cold Steel are extremely high value tools. Buy it.
Cold Steel 49HTF Mini Tac Tanto Neck Knife Fixed 3.75" Bead Blast Plain Blade, Griv-Ex Handles, Secure-Ex Sheath
Love this knife ..reason for shorter grip is to reduce overall length so it doesn't poke you when you bend over ...very secure grip ..sheath is ok acceptable...holds knife securely....Grip edges are a little rough on skin when wearing ..just use fine sandpaper & smooth edges .I love so much when I misplaced it ..I bought another one ! Now found first one & have 2 mini tacs! I own a karadisi mod mini tac also .. 8 AUS is my favorite low cost steel ..tough .holds a decent edge & easy to sharpen ..

Pros: Weight, Blade Material, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Sheath/Scabbard
Typical Cold Steel
Typical Cold Steel toughness, sharp edge and value for dollar. The AUS-8 steel is one of my favorite mid grade blade steels. Very good stain resistance, important in a neck knife worn close to the body. Keeps edge better than 440C but sharpens easier. Knife came hair popping sharp out of the box.I deducted a point for the poorly designed sheath. The knife rides way too deeply in the sheath, preventing a proper using grip when drawn. You must extract the knife with a two fingers then shift grip to use it. Won't work in self defense situations. I fixed this by making my own kydex sheath. Overall, a lot more cut for its size than it would appear.Great little knife, crappy sheath.
