The Pros and Cons of a Neck Knife

A Neck knife is a knife that a person wears around his/her neck. Sometimes the knife is worn around the neck with a cord, a string, a chain and sometimes with a lanyard which is the best way to go. It can either be hanged with its blade pointed upwards or the other way round with its blade pointed downwards. A neck knife is usually small or middle-sized which you can carry with you almost anywhere. A neck knife can be used as a weapon and as a self-defense tool as well.

Wherever you are, if you ever face a dangerous situation you can pull out this knife and protect yourself against your assailant. And even if you face an emergency situation like a car crash or something, you will have access to a blade that can be used as a utility tool so that you can use the blade for other tasks of daily routine than just fighting with it. This makes a neck knife a very good tool that one can carry around with oneself. But hey, don’t be too fast. Let us have a look at the pros and cons of a neck knife in order to judge in a better way if it is as effective and suitable as it seems.
