My new Blind Horse "Bush Pig" arrived today, and the out-of-the-box impression is a solid 11.

I own quite a few knives, but this is one is pretty unique.

Specs:

•Overall Length - 8 3/4”
•Sharpened Edge - 3 3/4”
•Steel - 5/32" A2
•Handles - 4 1/2” Bead-Blasted Green Micarta
•Full Convex Edge with secondary bevel

The handle is extremely comfortable in a variety of different grips, and it really fills the hand nicely (I have med/large hands).

The massive spear point and stout spine make for a pretty confidence-inspiring tool. Yet the full convex grind = a taper to the edge that feels nice and slim and capable of finer slicing.

Unlike longer & narrower spear point blades (which often seem to make many such knives fairly woodcraft-specific), the Bush Pig blade actually has enough depth to it to create some belly and as a result, I'm curious to see how it will do with dressing big game/hunting tasks in addition to more standard bushcraft uses. All in all, it feels pretty darn versatile for a whole variety of uses beyond just woodwork, which is exactly what I've been searching for.

The sheath is also really well made (as is every BHK sheath I have), fits the knife very well, and offers belt or "dangler" options.

I'm heading on a 5-day trip into some remote parts of Wyoming in the upcoming week, and the Bush Pig will be getting a fair bit of use in the process. More to come...

I just got mine in the other day and the initial impressions are positive however don't have any field time with it. I am on a convex kick so that was also a motivating factor for the order. Time will tell if it will replace my trusty BHK scandi Bushcrafter.
 
I like the look of the handle, but just not sure what the purpose of having such a wide blades is. It certainly looks capable.
 
Still waiting on mine :(

I like the way it looks and think it will be a fine bush knife. Well, have to wait and see...

OP, can you write a review when you get back? Thanks.
 
Just got back from Wyoming, where the Bush Pig got a good workout. I don't have a ton of photos documenting every little thing I did with it, but suffice to say it did everything from food prep to whittling tent stakes to prepping kindling, and did it all very well. It's an outstanding all-around camp knife, imo. Compact enough to ride nicely on the belt and not feel like you're hauling a massive blade around, yet stout and capable enough for just about anything I would be using a knife for. The ergonomics are also excellent, and it's still shaving sharp after the trip, without a touch-up.

I have yet to be disappointed by anything from BHK, and the Bush Pig will occupy a unique niche amongst the others I have. Well done again, BHK.

First I have heard of it but I like it. The thick blade like you said provides for a nice belly. I Imagine it could be used for food prep to fire building to skinning medium sized game to elk. Thanks for sharing
 
Got mine yesterday and best of all it was a gift from a great friend!

Only played with it but plan to give it a nice workout towards the weekend!

I am sure it will not disappoint !
 
Got mine too. No chance to play with it outside yet, but it came nice and sharp and did well at food prep :D
