I don't wear a neck knife on my neck anymore. I fell and the knife severely bruised my chest. It was not quite vertical when I hit it, but close. Had it not hit my sternum it may have punctured through between my ribs.

It was of course in a sheath, and although the handle was blunt it realllllllly hurt.

I carry a becker necker on my belt. Hardly notice it.

I modified mine with epoxy, building up a small thin handle and covering of those unneeded (by me anyway) opener and "cutter".

Great knife. I doubt that I would want one of the new ones.
