Help me find a good neck knife.
No, I don't plan on wearing it around my neck.
As some of you may or may not know, I'm a fat cop who wears black "tactical" suspenders with my duty belt. It helps keep the weight of my gear off my lower back and keeps my britches up so I don't embarrass myself.
Recently, I bought a new pair of suspenders by Tactical Tailor.

These suspenders are awesome! They have a 3x5 velcro loop field/panel on the back, so naturally I added a few Milspec Monkey patches there - an Infidel tab in the subdued SWAT color pattern over a mini US flag, also in subdued SWAT color pattern in the "charging forward" configuration and a subdued pighead patch for good measure and a little sense of humor.
These suspenders also have MOLLE loops along the shoulder straps, so I was thinking I would mount a small fixed blade there. I don't want a HUGE knife, so I thought a simple neck knife would suffice.
So far, I have considered several by Boker, Kabar, ESEE and 5.11 Tactical, but I can't find one that I really like. Maybe I haven't seen enough different styles yet. Can ya help me out?
I don't want a knife any bigger than an ESEE Izula. In fact, the Izula might even be too big. My primary use of this knife is a backup weapon...most importantly, a backup weapon for if/when a bad guy decides to try to disarm me of my sidearm.
I figure a quick deployment of the knife with my left hand (while my right is holding my pistol in it's holster) and a slash or two across his forearms, neck, temple - WHEREVER, should cause him to cease and desist, right?
Which knife would you recommend?
The sheath also needs to be of a kydex/IM plastic material and it needs to be able to be mounted on a MOLLE loop attachment in the vertical/upside down position.
Thanks!
