{"title":"Neck Knives \u0026 Push Daggers","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck knives are built around one requirement: staying small and light enough to wear on a cord around the neck while remaining a genuinely usable fixed blade. A small fixed blade neck knife typically measures a few inches overall, keeping it discreet under clothing while still handling basic cutting tasks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis collection also includes push daggers, a related compact style with a T-shaped handle set perpendicular to the blade rather than in line with it. A T handle push dagger is gripped in the fist with the blade extending between the fingers, a distinct hold from any neck knife design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShop the Collection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompare blade length, handle style, and sheath type to find a compact piece suited to backup or everyday carry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat Are Neck Knives and Push Daggers?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA handmade neck knife is a small fixed blade designed to be worn on a cord, typically finished with a sheath that allows quick, quiet access. A push dagger uses a different grip entirely, with the T-shaped handle sitting across the palm so the blade projects from between two fingers when the hand is closed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat They're Used For\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth styles work well as compact utility tools, cutting cordage, opening packaging, or serving as a lightweight backup to a primary knife.
