So, in the current issue of Tactical Knives, Len Waldron wrote a great article reviewing 12 hard working knives. The test was simply put the knives to task butchering feral hogs. I have not personally butchered a whole hog before, but those that know better than I will tell you that those suckers are dense, and wreak havoc on an edge (bring your rods with you!).
The field test was broken down into 3 three catagories; The Gutters, The Skinners, and The Butchers. Our beloved BK-2 was among The Butchers (duh
) and was very well received! The author seemed impressed with the 2's ability to slice, cut around bones, separating joints, etc. I should also note that another Ka-Bar offering, the JAB Potbelly, was used in the "Butcher" catagory, and it too, received kind words from Mr. Waldron.
Overall it was a decent article and there were several great knives being tested (even an entry from our ESEE brethren :thumbup: ). In fact, the whole issue was pretty decent... I know they can be hit or miss sometimes, but I like to have something to read when I'm on the crapper!
