I wonder what the legality of this kind of knife in terms of uk carry laws is. It's obviously not a locking knife. It's also not exactly a fixed blade given that's it's, well, floppy. And it does fold, just probably not in the way the law expects it to. Would this kind of knife be legal to carry in the uk (assuming all other relevant requirements such as blade length are adhered to)?
❤ wow. had no idea such radical, thoughtful pieces were being produced. feels like a great time to be alive. and a sub from europe your channel is outstanding x
Yeah I stated in the video that it's made of thermoplastic. You definitely won't get a kydex sheath at the price they're charging, but understandably so.
I feel like it would be a great emergency survival knife. Not for killing anything big more for using as a tool. Maybe process some fish or small game. Probably make a great lil are if you get a solid piece of work to attach it to.
Interesting concept but for the handle is too short based on the amount of links and definitely not wide enough for my hands, would be nice if they had different size chain options available or made it so the end user could swap the chain for a different size/type, but based on the attachment point it'll only work with that specific modified chain.
The Para-Claw knife bracelet (1.5 inch hawkbill blade) by Outdoor Edge is another good wearable option. I think you did a nice video on it several years ago. The drawback is that they’re sold as a kit with paracord. I prefer to choose my own paracord colors. But I wish the blades were sold separately to make as gifts.
Agreed! The paraclaw is a nice little blade option as well. And yeah, they really should sell them as buckles only. They now have the paraspark, which is similar to the paraclaw, but different blade with a ferro rod. They have a buckle only option for that, so perhaps they'll start selling the paraclaw buckle only someday.
Nice! I just think about it today. But more like a mini dagger that you handle tip down, to be a selfdense backup tool. To handle with the weakest hand to push or grab.
I want a small blade like this that locks into a belt buckle, or behind it. I occasionally feel defenseless at concerts and events when I can't bring my EDC kit and CCW through the metal detectors and wanding attendants. It'd probably be overlooked as simply a metal belt buckle, allowing it to pass. I have a wallet blade and it's not great. If needed quickly, I'd have to pull my money clip out of my pocket, then dig through cards without cutting my finger to pull it out. Even then, it's merely a flat rectangle of metal with one sharp corner and serrated edge. Not particularly practical, or very useful for self-defense purposes. This Tailbone knife would work well on a belt, and right above where your hands grip the shoulder straps of a backpack, due to the handle being able to follow the varying contours. It could help cut a strap or belt in an emergency when getting hung up while climbing. That's an actual concern of mine. Numerous videos show just that happening to people at the worst possible times.
This is like the Giant Mouse GMF1 neck knife, like a third of the handle for me is the paracord with large stud hanging off of it. Without that, the handle is both too small and too oddly curved to make the knife almost at all holdable/usable. With it though, it provides some grip purchase and a bit of flexibility. Kinda weird idea, but it kinda works.
Ohh, I like the GMF1. I've always wanted to pick one up. I'm a big fan of Jesper Voxnaes and Jens Anso. And yeah, paracord can really make a small knife much more useable. I do like that leather sheath the GMF 1 comes in too. I'll have to check it out some day haha
@@TheWeaversofEternity The handle of it has a shape that is not conducive to a 3-finger grip, but a very large bead paracorded- cinched down close to the grip gives the meat of the lower palm and pinky a lot of purchase, and makes the knife very good. Even better if installing some sort of aftermarket scales or a paracord grip over the entire thing.
Thanks for the video! If you like a great knife for paracording, check out the German Expedition Knife. Get the one from Eickhorn - that's affordable. The prices of Boeker and Puma are crazy... I have the Eickhorn and I like it a lot for hiking.
I have a Talon neck knife, and love it. I don't ever wear it though. Mostly because it's a bit heavy, and I don't have many uses for it. I bought it because it was interesting. I did the same thing with the Mantis Vuja De, only it's a knockoff version, lol.
Oh nice! I think I have one of those talon neck knives as well, or something similar to that. I don't know where it went though, somewhere in one of my junk boxes lol. This tailbone is pretty lightweight for a neck knife, but you could even lighten it further if you remove the handle. I've seen someone do that on TH-cam haha
just found your channel a month or two ago. great content, thanks! i am really enjoying making things with paracord, and your videos are teaching me a lot.

I only ever use mine when it's the only thing I'm carrying but it's nice having something easy to tuck away, I keep it on a more jewelry type chain so it's extremely inconspicuous when tucked under a shirt, great for areas where a large visible fixed blade would draw unwanted negative attention (have been denied entry at music venues for the blade I typically belt carry)
Just got one of these and the sheath is absolute trash. Retention is very bad and the material is low quality. The knife handle is odd but it feels surprisingly great in the hand.
I always just kept the cord lock at the end of the cords so it's behind your neck when you wear it... I guess that's just the lazy man's way to do it when you don't know how to tie many knots
Choking is defined as "(of a person or animal) have severe difficulty in breathing because of a constricted or obstructed throat or a lack of air." A lanyard without a breakaway safety could potentially constrict your throat/airway, therefore it is a "choking hazard".
Chipped sheath = cheap sheath I had a kbar with a leather sheath, and I cut through the sheath by simply unsheathing from belt, which is standard use for combat knife. Some sheaths are simply disappointing.
It's definitely cheap for sure, as it's just plastic. I wasn't expecting much from a budget knife though, but it would be nice if they made stuff like this a little bit stronger. That being said, a sheath that gets damaged from unsheathing is a bit inexcusable. If you have some time and want to get into a fun hobby, you can always try making your own leather sheath. I've made some wallets and it's quite fun and satisfying!
I think some people like the convenience of a neck knife because it's very easily accessible. I heard that neck knives are also very popular in the bushcrafting world too as they will have a dedicated large fixed blade, but have a neck knife as a secondary for smaller more dedicated cutting tasks. I've seen knife guys that carry both a folder and a neck knife too. So it's just a matter of preference.
It's crkt? No thank you. I've had terrible luck with their blade hardness. As in they aren't. Awful heat treat. No crkt for me. They do have some cool designs. It's a shame.

Never thought I'd see a fixed blade with blade play
A video for making a bike chain and paracord fob or bracelet would be pretty cool. Something using standard bike chain.
I've braided a key fob as an handle extension for a shorter pocket knife (this channel might have even suggested it) so really not than crazy an idea.
For sure! It's definitely not a gimmicky idea or anything like that. I was surprised at how functional it was!
Thank you for sharing the results of the scientific drop test.
Haha! I guess it just barely passed as the sheath still works, but it suffered a bit of damage, thanks for sticking around for that!
Hi Tim!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Loving your art!! Be well my friend!! STRENGTH AND HONOR!! 💯❤️👍🏿 from Washington state.

I think the reason why your sheath broke is because it isn't made of kydex but a cheaper thermoplastic

Nice! I just think about it today. But more like a mini dagger that you handle tip down, to be a selfdense backup tool. To handle with the weakest hand to push or grab.
It would definitely be a viable option as one of your layers for self defense for sure!
Love the knife review! Pls do more paracord wrapped knife handles! 😄
Will do!

That’s not the same carabiner in your shop. Where can I get the one in your video?
I always wanted to see/make a knife with a metal watch strap as a handle. Same principle. Might just do it after seeing this :D

I collect Columbia River Knife and Tool knives, and I have not seen this one.
I will definitely be looking for it.
I have yet to try a neck knife. I'm just not convinced I'd use it, well ever 😅 I'm sure at some point I'll try one.
I only ever use mine when it's the only thing I'm carrying but it's nice having something easy to tuck away, I keep it on a more jewelry type chain so it's extremely inconspicuous when tucked under a shirt, great for areas where a large visible fixed blade would draw unwanted negative attention (have been denied entry at music venues for the blade I typically belt carry)
Watched for the knife, but stayed for the breakaway knot.
Thanks for sticking til the end!
My Tailbone has a nice click when I sheath it. (Yeah, that's a sentence I never imagined typing.) Maybe because my sheath isn't chipped?
Lol, it is an odd sentence for sure! But no, it was like that even before I chipped the sheath, so I think I just got a lemon.
Just got one of these and the sheath is absolute trash. Retention is very bad and the material is low quality.
The knife handle is odd but it feels surprisingly great in the hand.

Calling that a choking hazard is very confusing. Its a strangling hazard. Neck or not
Choking is defined as "(of a person or animal) have severe difficulty in breathing because of a constricted or obstructed throat or a lack of air."
A lanyard without a breakaway safety could potentially constrict your throat/airway, therefore it is a "choking hazard".
