Budget MTech Neck Knife
I am a sucker for inexpensive knives. Generally, the price of a knife is directly proportional to its quality. It means that the more expensive knives have better quality than the low cost ones. But how much quality you need depends on what you're going to use the knife for. My knives are just for light duty task and therefore budget knives like the one below would suffice.
I bought this from BudK 3-4 years ago for $2. Currently, the knife is selling at eBay for $5.95. I replaced the shoelace lanyard with a beaded chain.
Smith and Wesson is selling the same knife for $10. OAL is 7". Blade length is 3" and made of unknown steel but is very sharp.
I made some modifications on the knife like filing the spine to a 90 degree angle so I can use it as ferro rod striker. I also smoothen out the aggressive jimping on the spine to make it more comfortable to hold.
The sheath has a built-in whistle which is pretty loud.
Definitely one of my favorite neck knife.
That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
