Ishmael, thanks for this neck knife, and for making sure it doesn't classify as a dirk, and for the two cool books I can read while I'm doing time for using this thing:

Theodore Judson's Hell Can Wait looks like a lot of fun.

Jack O'Connor, The Legendary Life of America's Greatest Gunwriter, will be a must read for me before our trip.

I'll rig the lariat knife on the left hip so I can cross draw with the right or icepick draw with the left.
