Very nice. Can the sheath be worn around your neck on a lanyard and still hold the knife securely upside down?

Yes. That's what the lanyard hole is for. Designed to fit a typical ball-chain as used for dog tags, etc. I wore it on a lanyard for three days at OR. I wouldn't say it's the most secure sheath ever done for a neck knife, but it is on par with similar designs. It's not going to fall out by accident. How well it would hold up to daily use, with hundreds or thousands of ins and outs I can't really say, but it'll be fine for any reasonable length survival circumstance.

Not sure I understand the question. It was specifically designed to go in the Pocket Survival Pak Plus which includes one in the kit. It comes with a tin and instructions to assemble your own "Altiods" tin pocket survival kit. http://www.dougritter.com/pp/pic2043.htm

As I understand, what with California's laws being complex,
sheath knives of any kind cannot be concealed unless participating
in a hunting/fishing or similar activity on private or federal
forest land. It being a felony to carry a sheath knife concealed
while in incorporated areas. Folders are okay, and guns only
a misdemeanor in some cases.

I didn't know if size mattered? As a neck knife one would have to carry it outside the shirt?

I was mostly thinking of carrying it in my survival kit in
the glovebox of my car or in my daypack on my way to hiking
etc.

No idea. <shrug> Kalifornia allows 2-inch switchblades, BTW. I certainly wouldn't worry about it myself as part of a survival kit, but then I choose not to live in Kalifornia, and travel there as infrequently as possible, so my concerns would not be the same as someone stuck with living there. I guess the only cautious advice I could give is the same as with all knife carry laws, ask an informed local attorney (and NOT a LEO who often are not nearly as knowledgeable about such laws as you'd expect).

Funny, I feel the same way about Arizonah...Is this part of the "you never know who's reading the forums philosophy..."?

Are we really gonna go down this path?

Just now received the e-mail notice from CRKT that my two Mk5 knives are in route.

Doug -- I'm very excited to see these in person after all these months of anticipation.

I very much appreciate your philosophy that it can't help you if it's not with you.

I expect I'll be ordering more, for myself and gifts.

Will post pics when mine arrive.

:-)
