Pancho Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Looking at one of those Nieto pig stickers but wondered what other hunters carry for pigs (knife wise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 My preference is for my Mission MPK that’s ten inch’s of solid unbreakable titanium and the ability to stay sharp next to none (it’s getting it sharp to start with that takes effort) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will-nsw Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 i use eather a old timer fixed blade or a bowie style army knife with a serated top witch is razor sharp both knives hold the sharpness well the bowie is the best i was cutting 15mm rubber with the nylon webbing in it and after cutting it for about 1/2 an hour can still shave you hair off your arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenring Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I have my own that I made - an 8 inch long blade, clip point (Bowie style) with a redgum handle. I prefer a deeper profile blade as it makes a bigger hole and lets out more blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenring Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Here it is. The tips has a slight upsweep on it, guard is aluminium and the sheath I made has a pouch for a stone in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wharf Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Nice work mate,looks like a good style blade.I use mostly muela or some of the finnish brand knives,rosseli or martini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenring Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 One of my mates has a pair of Muela's, being the long bayonet style one, the other being a clip point with a rubber grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wharf Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 What have you used for your blade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenring Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 It's a bit of D2 tool steel, 3mm I think. Tempered in an electric kiln and water quenched. Holds an edge well but not so hard that a steel won't bring it up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwennink Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I have three main knives... If I'm out with dogs, I carry my old commercial Dexter Russell 'sani-safe' 6" boner from the meatworks, that's been across the steel so many times it looks like a slightly curved 'Arkansas Toothpick"...that's my favourite 'sticker', I had a sheath made for it by a local saddlemaker to carry it in... It's other advantages are the ruggedly non-slip handle(!) which is white, and thus easier to find if it gets dropped or put down, even at night or blood-covered. On the other hand, if the hunt is a "walkabout rifle carry", I have a general purpose, upswept drop-point, a J. Russell, Green River Knife Works, 'black steel', wooden-handled job, which is better for general gutting and/or skinning. It resembles the old traditional skinning blade ground back to a drop point...which coincidently, is exactly what I have done in the past to make a hunting knife... My other purpose-bought main knife is a blue-handled FDick with an 8" blade, which is specifically for breaking down carcasses... FYI. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBS Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 i just use a boning knife costs about $30 and use it for sticking and dressing,cant go wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timber_man Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 yeh ive got the old army style bayonet, think its off the 303 ? good advice ed ! ive lost a few knives now - i will put coloured electrical tape so i can see the knife at night if i misplace it..

Fizza Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 have a general purpose, upswept drop-point, a J. Russell, Green River Knife Works, 'black steel', wooden-handled job, which is Green River knives are fantastic quality (for the price), whenever you are at a old farm clearing sale fosicking through all the crap stacked on the back of the dodge, you can usually turn up one of the old plastic handled ones, great steel.

edwennink Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Anyone who thinks they share my taste in knives might like to visit the site of the Sydney company, Everton Online, at www.everten.com.au, and take a look at the line of Dexter Russell processing knives. The plastic handled / stainless version of my Green River g/p knife, would be the #10101 SL12-5.25 Sheep Skinner @ $31.90. The 'later model' of my 'sticker', is the #5448 D.R. 6" Backswept Boner @ $23.90 For just sticking, I also like the look of that #10149 D.R. 6" Flex Straight Boner @ $26.90...its apparently available in yellow and der handled versions too! I have no idea who might make sheaths for them, so you'd have to try your local saddlemaker, as I mentioned in my earlier post... TM...Have my doubts about that electrical tape, mate...reckon I'd rather fork out a few bucks for a top quality, white-plastic-handled knife, than deal with the tape maybe coming unwrapped and going 'sticky-slippy' while I was arguing with a good pig!
