If you decide on a Buck,the 124 Frontiersman or even their Compadre Fro may work for you.
I can recommend companies.
Maybe revisit your first thought and pick out the knife you want?
Most folks are not too happy with the standard sheath and scales.
Typed out a response yet it all disappeared.
Here are just a few that came to mind that are made in USA and most are under $100.
Here are some of the 'neck knives' I owed, and a quick comparison pix.
The 631 is really too big for a neck knife, but I think you might be well served by the 630 or 635 in that role.
I hope I can snag one of the Buck 140s someday. More immediately, I was very close to pulling the trigger on a Bradford G-Necker, until...The T.M. Hunt is beautiful, but probably a little too spendy for me. Brisas, on the other hand...well, I found this...https://www.knifecenter.com/item/ENBRI5802/brisa-necker-70-fixed-blade-knife-sandvik-12c27-plain-blade-ivory-linen-micarta-handles-black-kydex-sheathNow I'm giving some thought to pulling the trigger on a Brisa. If only I had more money and/or more smurf to sell. By the way, that belt carry rig is completely out of the question for me. If my shirt is untucked, then the knife is concealed, which is potential legal trouble. Better to carry about the neck.Thank you to both Alan and comis for the suggestions!
And what finish does the Bradford have?
The Brisa Necker and Bobtail are two different knives(although they may look similar from afar). One of the distinguished difference is the sheath, Bobtail clicks into its sheath quite positively, while Necker just slip into the half loosen kydex sheath by friction (in a neck knife position, it may fall out if shaken). Maybe my version was from an older generation, hopefully they have improved by now.
