Ksnow,,
It was actually your post that prompted me to ask this question,that i have had lingering in me,for some time..Regardless of the opinions of the use of them,,i feel you do nice work and enjoy seeing it..

ksnow:
There is a ton of evidence for them in the East. And the French fur trappers/traders were quick to adopt the habit of wearing them around their necks also.  I don't have my research with me here at work, but if you want sources, I can hunt them down this weekend. Out west, I have no evidence for them. I also have ZERO evidence for women wearing them.

PEARL DRUMS:
Kevin gave me one many years ago, and I love it. I rarely use a belt knife anymore as a result. The neck knife wont dig into my waist when I sit down or squat down. I leave it inside my shirt so it stays dry and cant be lost, he stitched a magnet inside the sheath to prevent that. I dont like walking into a store with 8" of knife on my side, the neck knife is easily hidden and obscure. I dont need to wear a belt to carry my neck knife, I can wear shorts and a t-shirt and still carry my knife. I wear mine when I go fly fishing, hard to wear waders with a belt knife on. I don't care about social status, trendy trends or what anybody else does or did in the past with their tools. I'm a practical person and neck knives are a very practical tool. Try one, maybe you will answer your own curiosity's. 

JEB:
I have made stone neck knives for the grand kids but I wouldn't wear one myself as it seems like it would get in the way. I go to a lot of traditional, primitive and flint knapping events and rarely see folks wearing them.  Those that do are usually vendors as part of their costume.
