Just because I haven't posted any pics in a while, and haven't been practicing me hideously amateur photography, here are some of my rotation of neck knives, for your viewing pleasure, or pain, depending how bad my pics are :p

The whole crew

Straight HAK 440C (Compared to the SWICK, my paracord wrapping skills are getting a little better)

SPOT

The supreme neck knife, all hail the SWICK

And yet another DMKnives Triant variation, this one's a necker(obviously :p )

Nice neckers. I've gotten ito them as well. I like the SPOT and I'm planning on getting a swick soon. Thanks for the pics.

Scott already knows I love my Swick...I daily wore my Spot prior to getting a Swick, but since the Swick came....well the Spot hasn't come out the drawer since. The Swick is head and shoulder above the Spot.

Scott is the HAK, the knife that they make to personally fit your hand? How do you like it?

It takes a little getting used to, the grip for it is different than other neck knives, but once I got the feel for it, it was quite fun to use.

I still prefer the SWICK outright, but I need to rip off that cord wrap and redo it, the hack job I did on the SWICK is just embarassing.

One thing the HAK has on the SWICK is the sheath attachment. The HAK is far more versatile and comfortable than the SWICK when it's worn anywhere other than the neck. Also, when worn around the neck, the SWICK hands at a better angle for retrieval than the HAK.

If Spyderco could get similar belt attachments like the HAK, the SWICK would reign supreme and unrivaled.

I was going to title this thread "Hey Zen, look at my SWICK" but decided against it. :cool:

Good idea, likely get a larger audience with the published title. :p

The DMK has no scales, the steel was grooved to provide grip, it is pretty cool looking.

I've grabbed my SWICK several different ways on the draw, some work, some don't ;)

When I get back from class this afternoon, I'll try and get some in hand shots of the HAK.

As requested, some in hand shots of the HAK. Pardon the "worse than usual" pics. Trying to take a picture with one hand is pretty tough, especially when the button(like the clips on most knives) is on the wrong side of the camera :p

The HAK is really only comfortable in one grip, so I did post any other grips for it, but can if you want.

Hey Scott,
Thanks for sharing. Man that HAK is sweet looking. Ive gotta get one for sure. A swick is also on my list, but ive never seen in hand pics of the HAK so i had to comment.
Also PM sent, take care.

Actually, that particular HAK was relatively inexpensive. It's "only" 440C, but I like it.

When you can, definitely pick up a SWICK, it's the best one I own, in my opinion.

I got bored today, and rewrapped my SWICK in a different color, and changed the wrap style slightly, we'll see how long it stays like this.

You've got a PM back to you by the way.

Your collection of neckers look very awesome Scott, thank you for sharing with us. My fave by far is the Swick! The Wharncliffe profile in stonewashed S30v is almost too much for me to handle... *room spins, Axlis collapses from Spyder-Cool overload*.......

:D

I heard about the 440C HAK's and that was what i intended to get at first. Perhaps if i love it enough ill shell out some $$$.

how much is a SWICK going for, its not listed on the site. Thanks,

SWICK is a little under $70

http://newgraham.com/detail.aspx?ID=5218

440C HAK is $69, and several colors of cord wrap are included. If there are some available in your size, you won't have to wait for them to be made.
