Doug Ritter Neck Knife 1.75in Plain Satin Drop Point

The Doug Ritter Neck Knife is a compact, precision-engineered tool designed to provide maximum performance in a minimal package. Its lightweight construction and thoughtful design make it an ideal companion for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, or situations where a reliable, easily accessible knife is essential. Every element of this knife has been carefully considered to balance strength, functionality, and convenience in a tool that’s small enough to carry effortlessly but powerful enough to handle real-world tasks.

At the heart of the knife is a 3Cr13 stainless steel blade, hardened to 52-55 HRC. This steel offers a dependable combination of toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance, making it well suited for a knife that’s designed to be carried daily. The blade measures 1.75 inches, with an edge length of 1.94 inches, providing a practical cutting surface that remains manageable and precise. Its wide-chord drop point profile offers a strong, controllable tip for piercing and detailed work, while the high flat grind at an 18º nominal angle maximizes cutting efficiency and delivers a clean, precise edge. The 0.12-inch blade thickness adds strength without excess weight, making the knife both agile and dependable.

The handle is a skeletonized tang, keeping the knife incredibly light at just 0.78 ounces. Despite its minimal construction, the handle provides a secure and balanced grip, giving the user full control for a variety of tasks. Measuring 3.81 inches overall, this knife feels comfortable and natural in hand, and its streamlined design ensures it can be carried unobtrusively around the neck or on a gear loop. The skeletonized tang also contributes to the knife’s tactical, modern aesthetic, reflecting thoughtful engineering and purposeful design.

For safe and convenient carry, the Doug Ritter Neck Knife comes with a molded and riveted fiberglass-reinforced nylon sheath. The sheath keeps the knife securely in place while allowing quick access when needed, and even with the sheath included, the knife weighs just 0.88 ounces. This combination of lightweight construction, strong materials, and reliable retention ensures that the knife can be worn comfortably all day while remaining ready for immediate use. Its compact design makes it an excellent choice for hikers, campers, survivalists, and anyone who appreciates having a dependable cutting tool within easy reach.
