Here's one I haven't pulled out and worn in a while...
This is a rare "griffe" knife by Fred Perrin. I have a handful of knives and oddities made by Fred, the majority of which I picked up while visiting him in Paris some years ago.
This particular knife I picked up from Laci Szabo during a visit to his place in Miami back in the 90's.
Fred's griffe makes a great lightweight neck knife in its kydex sheath with bead chain. The whole thing weighs about 2 3/4 oz. and is 5 1/2 end to end. This is one of his bigger griffe knives. Usually they feature a drop point blade and are somewhat shorter in length. Blade steel is 1095.
Practical for daily tasks or self defense, when one's index finger is placed through the hole while gripping, it's very difficult to disarm or dislodge. The whole rig virtually disappears, even under a thin shirt, making it very easy to have with you at all times.
