Well, the company is based in White Oak, Georgia. Does that mean that the neck knife is made there? I have no idea. One of the other commenters called it "cheap Chinese steel which will need sharpening often." The first one I bought has been re-sharpened by me, yes, not perfectly but enough to perform the tasks which I require: slitting open pill blisters, plastic medical supply packaging, etc. I care less about where the knife is actually manufactured than by how it performs for the task I need it. I'm a former soldier, and to me weapons (or weapon-like tools) are systems, meaning please provide me a good-performing scabbard for the knife you're selling me. The scabbard should accentuate the utility of the knife. I know some reviewers have indicated their scabbards didn't work properly; I regret that. Mine functions perfectly, still does after two years and upwards of 100+ presentations and returns. I hope this answered your question? Take care.

So I posted a lengthy review, and I still stand by every word. I have a variety of small(ish) knives that I use for EDC, depending upon wardrobe. One for jeans, shorts, casual wear; a different one for a suit, etc. I used this Weyland Tactical EDC knife at the hospital I worked at because it's concealable inside my scrubs using the ball-chain neck carry option. It's easily removable from the neck of my scrubs, and just as easily replaced with no fuss; just re-scabbard it and drop it inside my t-shirt and forget about it, gravity does the rest. This is as opposed to other clip-style knives that I have to use two hands to replace and adjust it properly in the small of my back wearing jeans/shorts. I'm confident the holes in the scabbard would permit someone to jury-rig a paracord belt loop for belt carry or boot carry; I just haven't had to do that at this point. And the entire package rolls up nicely and fits into a pocket of my tactical backpack when I don't care to carry it. All-in-all, I think this is a fine EDC for small jobs and would be useful for sd situations in a pinch. To me, a positive-grip handle and sharpness/pointiness is more important than size for edc, and this small knife has all those qualities. I hope that helps!

Why do manufacfures choose deadly lanyards? Any lanyard you put around you neck needs a break away feature.

OK, good point. The scabbard comes with a beaded chain. Now, I found the individual beads a bit large, and having had some experience with black paint wearing off against my skin, proceeded to switch it out for some regular old military-issue dogtag chain. I have a roll of that in bulk, and just cut it to the appropriate length to hang just down where I like it in my scrubs. I want it down far enough that it's not going to suddenly pop out when I bend down to pick up a patient, or whatever. Military-issue dogtag bead-chain is designed to break away with a moderate amount of force; certainly far, far less than bodyweight (choking hazard) and far less than a violent grab by an opponent (fight/combat hazard). As a Registered Nurse in 2023, I have to worry about the latter more than I care to; patients and their families are developing a reputation as becoming more and more "hands-on" with hospital types these days. So my neck knife chain hands next to my dogtag chain around my neck, and my semi-choker Serviceman's Cross chain. I wear these three chains confident that they won't pose any kind of deadly situation to my airway or safety. You may or may not agree or follow suit, your call. But I've been wearing beaded chains for three decades now, and have never had a problem with this. I don't know if you read my detail of the knife/scabbard itself, from last year, but it's a good little neck knife. I think it's perfectly sized. For the money, you can do far worse. To me, the whole package is a total recommend.

How do you get the knife out? It's so tight that it doesn't pull out.

The sheath will need some heat to soften the kydex at the point where the knife goes into the sheath.I used a heat gun and moved the knife around in it’s socket to reform that area.
