nice

i was looking for a good quality neck knife and this piece intrigued me very much i decided to take a chance and was very pleased hair shaving sharp well thought out attach a small lanyard through handle for a nice draw [i use middle finger] this makes knife line up with index finger hole providing secure grip small enough to take anywhere ... worth every cent & made in U.S.A....it matters to me

4 and counting

I own 4 TOPS knives and they are are all gems! The ALRT is the best small knife I own, better than the LDK I bought a year ago. Mine came with the leather wallet and I love it. I also recommend the Wolf pup XL, BOB Fieldcraft and the Baghdad Box Cutter. I buy TOPS because they are built to last. Yes they cost more but they work!

hunk of blade

not the greatest neck knife in what most people consider a neck knife,but it is still a good way to wear it. This blade is a hunk o 1095 with a thick profiled razor on the end. i've had this knife for some time now,year or so,it's great for breaking bones or spliting wood.you can use a rock or the back of a hatchet to drive it through just about anything you may need to.as far as slashing goes its not a combat knife but it cuts extremely well.this a excellent small tough as hell tool to have to use when you don't want to beat the hell out of a primary knife or to just have on your person all the time for what ever you may need it for.and hey the little led comes in constant hand

This one sturdy neck knife.

This one sturdy neck knife. It looks small in the picture, but is actualy a nice size in hand. With that the only drawback if it matters to the owner of course is the weight. Overall a really good neck knife.

awesome

i haven't received my knife yet even though i ordered it almost three weeks ago, but my friend has one and fiddled with it a bit and i liked it, but I'm not to crazy about the little LED light so I ordered a Boker Lanyard to replace it. Im going to be using this knife in and around my truck from box cutting and self defense and after playing with my friends I'm pretty sure that i won't be disappointed

Nice and simple.

The snap clip (carabiner) must be removed to wear this as a neck knife. You will also be tempted to remove the keychain LED too, but without some sort of lanyard attachment, the knife is all but impossible to remove from the sheath. The "black traction coating" seems to quickly wear down where the sheath grips it, so it will probably loosen up a bit. Unfortunately, this makes the knife look a bit ugly too. The blade edge is very short (1"), so this is not a very useful slicing tool. The blade geometry and the knife's general stubbiness make it a poor stabbing instrument. I like the simple design and size, but if you're wanting a cutting blade you'll actually use rather than just carry around for good luck, you'll want to look elsewhere.
