This review compares the CRKT Obake and the Cold Steel Spike series neck knives, highlighting their distinct philosophies of use for concealed carry and non-permissive environments. While the Cold Steel offers value and rust resistance with its 4116 Krupp steel, the CRKT Obake, featuring an 8Cr14MoV blade, wins due to its superior sharpness out-of-the-box, handle ergonomics, and blade profile, despite lacking a finger guard.

This video reviews the Cold Steel Spike knife series, focusing on their affordability and quality of construction. The reviewer highlights the effectiveness of these knives as stabbing tools, noting their excellent penetration and lightweight design. However, significant drawbacks are discussed, particularly concerning the thin and difficult-to-grasp handles, which could lead to hand slippage during a thrust. The neck carry option and its potential vulnerabilities in a defensive situation are also examined. While newer models like the Tokyo, Bowie, and Scimitar Spikes are mentioned as improvements offering greater utility, the review centers on older Spike and Tanto versions. The video suggests these knives might be a viable budget backup option for under-the-shirt carry but cautions that they are primarily stabbing implements with poorly designed handles for that specific task.
