Crawford N.E.C.K. - Designed by Pat & Wes Crawford

Rated: 4.5/5

(12 reviews) Read reviews

Every professional operator knows about those situations when their primary weapon cannot be used, whether due to surprise attack, proximity of bystanders, equipment malfunction or lack of ammunition. Pat Crawford designed the Triumph N.E.C.K.^™ (No-nonsense Emergency Compact Knife) for just those occasions.

The Triumph N.E.C.K.^™ Cord Wrapped model is based on the same beefy 0.14" thick blade used on the Triumph Folder. In this case it is a full-tang skeletonized design, with recurved dual-grind Tanto to aid cutting and a false top edge grind for penetrating power. We offer two different knife/carry systems.

This deluxe system includes the knife with a non-reflective black EDP coating, cord-wrapped handle, a custom Kydex sheath and belt clip and a harness. The olive drab nylon paracord wrap gives excellent feel and grip, and terminates in a fob.

The custom Kydex^® sheath features a patented* quick-release belt-mounting system. The basic sheath has detents which grip the knife securely for inverted carry as a neck knife with a chain (not included). The belt clip can be attached with the Chicago screws provided for vertical or horizontal carry. Simply press in the injection-molded nylon retaining clip for instant attachment or release.

The harness is a length of mil-spec paracord, gutted so it is flat. Soft rubber keepers allow adjustment of the harness even when wearing it. Users just tie the cord through the eyelets of the Triumph N.E.C.K. sheath and slip the harness over their shoulders for comfort and concealability under uniforms, tactical vests or even T-shirts. Drawing from the harness is lightning quick with either a cross draw to the forward grip, or a same-side draw to a reverse grip.

The cord-wrapped 2030CW is an exceptional value. Think of it as a little insurance policy.

I recieved this knife as a gift from my buddy Lou when we went camping near Adams Falls Co. It fits perfectly on the shoulder strap of my back pack and is great in a pinch. Awesome for cutting rope, making tinder strips, and other small jobs. I actually got my nephew to carry my pack for a while bc he was so enthralled with it. It could only be better if they made a version with semi serrations on it. It is now a permanent fixture on my pack. I did however cut off the paracord tail, its neat but serves no purpous. Also I glued a bit of hook and loop tape inside the sheath and it holds it dead on now.

I really enjoy this knife, it's small, lightweight, and very versatile. The sheath is great quality, but the catch isn't exact and I'm worried if I push too hard, I may break it or hurt myself, in a heated rush. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase.

fantastic knife. a great lightweight/low profile addition to my kit. very ergonomic, light weight and durable. the only things i would change would be a better multi position clip for the awesome kydex sheath and maybe a version with a slightly longer and semi serrated blade. but well worth twice the price

I recently purchased the Crawford N.E.C.K. knife. It is an excellent EDC knife. I really appreciate the multiple carry options. I am a big fan of CRKT and Crawford designs. 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this in satin as a replacement EDC for my missing M16 tanto folder. I've carried the knife all day and used it on a couple of light cutting jobs around the house as I packed to move. The blade came wicked sharp, the handle feels solid and steady in my hand after a 550 cord wrap, and the Kydex sheath is an excellent addition to an exceptional knife and holds the blade quite securely. The belt clip, which I have had in about every conceivable configuration I can come up with throughout the day, is a horrible piece of workmanship and has pissed me off to the heights of piss-tivity. Recommendations: A) Buy the knife B) Cord wrap the handle C) Remove the belt clip and pocket carry the knife. Even with it's nearly 7" overall length while sheathed, I hardly notice it in my pocket.

this knife is a very handy tool, as well as a nice wepon. i chose the one with the parachord bound handle as seen above, because i like a bit of a handle to my knives, i choped the tail off the end of the handle(you can do this without the entire handle coming undone) because it got in the way during quick draws and throwing(this is an excellent throwing knife), i mount the sheath upside down and backwards with the slide clip faceing away from me and the blade and sheath sandwiched between me and my belt (for quick drawing), its very comfortable and has never came out of the sheath while attached to me, id recomend this lil guy to anyone

I got this knife a little over a month ago, I brought this along on rescue mission, and I put it through hell and back, the knife is still scary sharp after being through a rescue this is very good knife, and you can't complain about the price. The sheath never came loose and still takes some force to discharge this knife. If you are looking for a somewhat tactical, and survival knife, this is the knife for you.

I obtained one of these great knives in March, for a utility knife while I am out training missions with my search team. Due to its size, comfort, utility, and sharpness, I use it as an everyday carry. The only problem I have found is the knife has come out of the sheath on a couple of occasions in a vertical placement on my belt. I intend on getting a second one as a backup, I have carried a knife since I was 13 and only 2 other times have i been impressed enough to get a duplicate.

Awesome Knife It's the right size for your hand and just about any job. Only issue, the sheath could hold the knife a bit tighter. I'm a bit nervous to carry inverted, but that's not what I wanted it for, so no real issue for me. I typically carry it when in the outdoors (camping, backpacking, fishing) as an everyday carry and it does just about everything I need. Great quality excellent design = worth every cent.

This a really cool knife for the money. It is very sharp I just barely nicked my finger with it opening a package and it cut right through my skin. It fits easily on your belt or vest and can be worn either up or down. When in the down position the knife was secure which was a concern of mine. The tanto blade makes it a great knife for cutting materials while working. I remodel houses and it really comes in handy. Feels great in your hand too.
