Oob made the comment some time ago that the best knife is the one you work with and one should choose accordingly. I avoid the liner locks and prefer the small fixed blade with kydex sheath. I convert it to iwb but I'll tell you the best tactical tool is a nice pair of sneakers. if you've ever seen deep tissue damage you'll work to avoid the blade.

Truer words were never spoken. Rule 1) Don't Die, Rule 2) Don't Fight If You Can Run, Rule 3) If You Can't Bring A Gun To A Knife Fight, Stay The Hell Away From The Knife Fight, Rule 4) Know Your Limitations. It doesn't hurt my ego at all to say with certaintey that if I get into a knife fight,I will die bloody and embarassed. I don't think I'm alone in this. For me knives are tools, not weapons.

It seems so much boils down to interpretation of definitions.  In Missouri the law states;

 571.030. 1. A person commits the crime of unlawful use of weapons if he or she knowingly:
(1) Carries concealed upon or about his or her person a knife, a firearm, a blackjack or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use; or

In Missouri, is the knife concealed if it is clipped on to the pocket?

Okay...you guys have inspired me to upgrade (slightly) my EDC knife. I have carried a Gerber Paraframe for who-knows-how-long, and it has served me well. But, there are a couple things about it I don't like. When I bought it, I thought I would like the serrated blade, but not for what I use it for 90% of the time...and it doesn't seem to hold an edge for very long (could be the amount of abuse I put it through). But, for under $20 at Wally World...you couldn't ask for much more.

So...I just ordered a Ken Onion designed Kershaw (just a cheap one). I went with the Black Vapor.

how dose a Neck Holster work

I have never heard of that   I just have mine on a pocket

Cord/chain goes around your neck and then threads through holes in the bottom of the sheath.  Knife hangs blade up in the sheath under your shirt.  You reach up from the bottom and pull it out.  Almost all neck knives are small fixed blades, with a blade length less than 4".  Almost all sheaths retain their knives via friction, but a VERY small percentage use magnets (e.g. Bud Nealy Escort).
As with everything, there's an exception to every rule: I have a neck knife sheath for a Spyderco Endura Wave that uses the wave to pop the knife open as it's drawn from the sheath.  It came on a ball chain.  My Spyderco Ronin has a channel at the bottom of the sheath for the chain to pass through.  This is a flatter solution.  It has a ball chain inside a shoelace for the chain.  The ball chain will break in an emergency, which is why people like it, and the shoelace sheath makes it black and harder to see as well as more comfortable.

I've carried a Cold Steel neck knife with a Tanto blade very often.
Nice knife....very sharp and holds and edge well.

This one has a different blade configuration than the tanto....

A trainer gave me a SOG Pentagon Elite I for Christmas present many years ago. I too carry it cliped under my belt.

I will say the Cold Steel Scimitar scares the crap out of me.

Haviing been cut once on wrist by a broken beer bottle, veins, tendons, nerves and artery, month in a cast and even longer doing rehab, anyone with a knife in their hand gets targeting lock.

both of those would be a felony in CA.

its one of those laws that was put on the books back in the gold rush days.  out of fear of the chinese. numchucks are the same.

you can walk around with a sword on your belt, but take some rope and tie it too two sticks= felony. ( not joking about the sowrd.) oddly enought you can have a folding knife of any length concealed, but you can not conceal a fixed blade.
