With a stainless steel hybrid blunted tip, the Neko is the perfect option for the boater who spends most of their time on inflatables.

I Like It

Knife release procedure is simple and quick. I chose this knife because it looked simpler and safer than release on other NRSs. Grip fits my hand well. The sheath clipped onto my PFD without a problem. I like that the overall length of the knif is the shortest on the market. Because of that, I think it's less likely to snag on things.

Say Hello to my Little Friend
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
For me it always seems like river knives are either bulky, or don?t stay in their sheaths. This knife is low profile (looks great on my Ninja PFD!), and it doesn?t fall out of the sheath! It?s exactly what I want in a river knife. The sheath grabs the knife on the flat part of the knife, not the sides, so it?s way more secure. I did think it was a little hard to pull out of the sheath while holding it, but once I mounted it on the lash tab on my vest, I never have any issue pulling it out. The bottle opener is pretty nice for the take-out too!

Great sheath to knife relationship.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
The interface between the sheath and knife is a great design and improvement over the one I grew up with. The chances of the knife coming out unintentionally is almost impossible. I like the small profile of it, as it less to get in the way on my PFD when doing sea kayak self-rescues or tandem-recues. From a safety standpoint, I like that only one side of the blade is sharp, so I can work confidently without worrying about doing harm to myself. Great knife.
