Boar Knife
« on: March 06, 2014, 09:54:32 pm »
I have a friend down in south Texas that hunts hogs with dogs. I don't know if he has something against guns are he is just crazy but he likes to get up close and personal and dispatch them with a knife. He asked me to build him a pig sticker and this is what I came up with, Forged from a Nicholson file, 14" over all with a 9" double edge razor sharp blade, brass guard, Ebony and Axis antler. This was a fun knife to build and I am anxiously awaiting a report on how it performs.

Great knife! Hard to believe it was a file at one point. 
I've watched some videos of those hog hunts with dogs. Steve rinella in new Zealand and Hawaii. Crazy stuff! Hard use guns cause the dogs are basically fighting with the hog and you got to run in and stick it.

That's beautiful, does it still say Nicholson in front of the hilt or is that your stamp?

That is an all out beauty! Looks like about the best thing you could have come up with for that task.

Great knife!!! Reminds me of the European Hunting short swords the Germans carried along on some of our Russian Boar forays...Nice work as usual..

That's a beautiful knife. I done a bit of pig hunting in new Zealand and the general rule of thumb is if the dogs are holding you get in and stick the pig and if the dogs are bailing you sneak in and shoot the pig making sure the dogs are out of the way of course.
