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. 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.
Triumph N.E.C.K.™ Satin. Our basic system includes the Triumph N.E.C.K. knife in a satin finish plus a custom Kydex® sheath with 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 N.E.C.K. is an exceptional value. Think of it as a little insurance policy.
This is a great tactical knife. It came out of the box very sharp. The holster for the knife is unique and very practical.

I finally received this knife today and I can't put it down. knife came crazy Sharp right out of the box and feels pretty good in the hand. I think once I paracord wrap the handle it will be perfect. the only thing I don't like is that the belt clip doesn't work well with narrow belts... you really need a wide nylon type belt for the clip to be secure. overall a great knife

I bought this 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.

Good knife, came extremely dull but that's why they invented sharpeners. Wish the belt clip was detachable or it came with the options of sheaths.
