What about neckties, long hair or rings on fingers? At least an EDC necklace is usually tucked inside your shirt and out of harm's way. I'm not trying to single you out Barbarian but every few months someone creates a thread about EDC necklaces and someone always slams them as being life threatening (without mentioning neckties or long hair).


For the record, I'm not slamming anything. Lots of folks obviously prefer neck lanyards. If you like EDC necklaces, that's your call to make.

I wear clip-on neck ties, no jewelry, and an army style haircut. My own preference.

My bigger concern is getting in an altercation with someone, and they obtain control over my head and body by using my lanyard or necktie.


That's my reasoning as well. I would definitely use an opponents neck tie or lanyard to my advantage, if violence became necessary.
