Thanks for the review. I already have one but it is always nice to read a thoughtful review and see what everybody thinks. I carry mine in pocket - don't personally like neck carry - and it is very comfortable there. One advantage to NOT having scales of any kind is that it remains relatively flat. Not that the minimal scales on the SPOT were excessively bulky. I don't wrap mine partly to keep bulk to a minimum and also because paracord does absorb moisture and wet handles leave dark stains on my pant pockets. Could be hard to explain. Also, wet handles and cold weather are not a good combination.

On handle ergos. I have small hands and both the SWICK and SPOT are very comfortable and secure. Grip security can be problematic on small knives, but this design is very good.

The drain hole - doesn't matter the orientation of carry (up or down). It is still helpful to ventilate a kydex sheath in case moisture does get in. Just in case the blade gets wet and you don't dry it completely before sheathing. :eek:

This knife is so handy it was a must-buy for me !

Wow, this thread is back from the dead. From before I had my camera too, sorry for lack of pics.

Definitely pick up a SWICK, they're great little knives.

Great review Scott. Looking forward to getting one of these. The only neck knife I've owned was a Becker Necker, but I think I'll like this one better. Thanks again for the review.

Get one while you can. NGK has some left. They really are great knives. I just wish they would go into regular production. They are the best Neckers I've ever used or seen.
