So what do you carry round your neck?

Just a crucifix, and Saint Christopher, and some deep scaring from all the women who've tried to throttle me

Apart from the reason that I can't wear anything around my neck because of my job (especially in the new place I will be working

) I have never got on with anything around my neck.

Ooh, not a good combination! When you started your job did you get taught modern safe restraint techniques? I do Mixed martial arts and i am a part time doorman so i like stuff like that!

You are taught what is referred to as P.R.I.C.E. which is some restraint (no pain involved AT ALL though) and some ways of protecting yourself against attack. You have to refresh that every year as well.

CRKT Dogfish when I feel like it, which isn't often. I don't really wanna get in trouble that way.

Yeah, i'll have to look that up. I suppose it does not look so good if you have one of the kids in a choke hold.

So what do you carry round your neck?

Black Dakota fisherman's timepiece
Black Streamlight Nanolight
Black lockback, a very tiny zytel handled Buck.

All worn on a black nylon cord lanyard with black adjustable cordlock and black safety breakaway.

In other words, everything is color coordinated and black.

Currently nothing tactical, just decorative (and for good luck).

One of these:

And a lovely buffalo horn pendant made by Mik over on BBF:

Mine's like the one of the left - hope he doesn't mind me posting the pic!

Mik's stuff is superb.

I long to own one of his Case mods.

Usually a St Christopher. At work a stethoscope.

Walking in the hills - compass.

St. Michael has hung around my neck for over 15 years.

sardauker · **Reply #15 on:** July 29, 2009, 04:31:05 PM

Silver.
A rune, an ankh and a Pico USB drive with my medical data.
there was a celtic cross also, but I lost it when its ring tore apart.

Nothing hangs from this neck but fine lasses...

safety breakaway.

Yes! very important to remember to have some kind of safety/breakaway in case it gets caught
on something, you don't want to be choked/hanged! para-cord by itself is dangerous, make or get
a breakaway

some of my neckers (woodswalker and dogfish)
