I bought some Old Hickory Paring knives The smallest has a 3 .25 inch blade and the larger one has a 4 inch blade.
Made neck knife sheaths for both from 3-4 oz veg tan leather.and a piece of leather lacing to go around my neck. With the 3.25 inch blade knife with sheath the the weight is 1.5 ounce With the 4 inch blade knife the weight including sheath is 2 ounces.
I made them to hold the knife in a blade down position and have them sitting where the sheath covers the blade and about 1 inch of the handle Easy to draw with one hand and easy to sharpen the high carbon steel with a file to hair Pulling Sharp.
Can pick em up for less than 10 bucks apiece on Midway. As far as I am concerned best bargain on knives out there.
My everyday carry Stabby cutty is a SAK. A whopping 74mm of dangerous, deadly to fingernails, magical shank/shiv that's been at my side for more years than I care to remember. In fact, I kind of collect them. This particular model was discontinued by Victorinox sometime ago. It's called an "Executive" and it'll peel an orange like nobody's business!
Behold the goodness!

Rather jump off a bridge than get in a knife fight. Buck 119 is a nicely shaped and adequately large fixed blade with an ample guard that serves multiple purposes well. If I didn’t have a gun on me, or even when I do, i carry one in the field. Anything with a nice clip point and some length. If seriously concerned about a 4 legged critter getting on you, I personally think any such knife should have a lanyard ring. I like lanyard rings on pistols too. Could be a game-changer. I have an old Puma Skinner that is such. Great knife, multi purpose, lanyard ring, and you don’t look like a wannabe Rambo strapping it.

Last time I used mine it was over at the local roundabout cutting hessian matting at work, a couple of hours doing that screwed the edge royally but it is what I had at the time.

On the skinner that hole is for sheath retention.
Sheath is attached to your belt, knife is attached to sheath….
Years ago, I had a "Seconds" Cold Steel Recon Tanto Carbon V. I gutted my first cow elk (including opening up the sternum) and afterward it "would still shave"! I was impressed for a $25 knife at the time, lol. It cut that old cow elk "like butter"! I moved on to a Sam Mai Outdoorsman. I like Benchmade McHenry/Williams for EDC. My grandfather always carried an Old Timer Stockman folder. He always told me "son, stick it in his belly and walk around him"....he was something! Irishman.
