Condor Tool and Knife Beetle Neck Knife Walnut 2.63in Plain Drop Point CTK69719

The Condor Beetle Neck Knife is a purpose-built fixed-blade designed for versatility, portability, and everyday reliability. Crafted in El Salvador and designed by knifemaker Julio Diez, this compact tool is ideal for light outdoor tasks, fine detail work, and general EDC use. With a minimalist footprint and premium materials, it delivers dependable performance in a refined, rustic design.

The Beetle Neck Knife features a 2.63-inch drop point blade made from 1095 high carbon steel, offering a strong balance between toughness and edge retention. Finished in Condor’s Classic dual style—a combination of hammered flats and satin-polished bevels—the blade not only looks traditional but also performs with consistent precision. The Scandinavian grind makes sharpening straightforward while excelling at woodworking, slicing, and carving applications. Like most carbon steels, 1095 requires regular maintenance to prevent rust, but its ease of sharpening and durability make it a trusted choice for everyday use.

Built with a full-tang construction, the Beetle provides enhanced strength and control during demanding tasks. Its handle is shaped from smooth walnut wood scales and secured with stainless steel pins, offering a warm, natural feel in the hand. The ergonomics are optimized for a two to three finger grip, with subtle finger grooves that enhance control without compromising comfort. A lanyard hole is added for additional customization or securing options.

At just 5.4 inches overall and weighing only 4.6 ounces, this knife is designed for discreet and efficient neck carry. It comes paired with a handcrafted, welted leather sheath that reflects Condor’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship and lasting durability. The compact pommel sits naturally in the palm, and the spine is designed to accommodate a forward finger grip for high-precision cutting. Whether you're preparing kindling, skinning game, or handling small utility tasks, the Beetle offers confident handling in a compact profile.

The Condor Beetle Neck Knife stands out as a no-nonsense EDC fixed blade that emphasizes simplicity, classic materials, and effective performance in a compact form.
