Gentlemen

This is an older Randall model 12-11 H Smithsonian. One of the larger knives I own.

Made from forged 3/8" carbon tool steel with stacked leather and brass guard but and nut.

For comparison I placed it next to the model 1 with a 8 inch blade #1-8 and a Böker Smatchet.
This is a large and heavy knife about 2 lbs but the balance is great and handling it is no problem.
A knife like this has the size to reach the hart on the largest boars and hogs.
Normally a bowie style blade is not as strong as a drop point that has a stronger tip but with the thickness of this model there is no chance of the tip breaking.

Enjoy:D

Cheers,

André

That's a big one for sure.:D I'm in the process of making a boar hunting knife out of S7 steel. It will have an 8" blade. Nice pics.

I like my boar knives to be minimum 9 inches due to the fact that you can reach the hart on big boars with such a size blade. I simply would not feel equipet right with a 8 inch blade even though it might do the trick.

These are the size boats and hogs we are talking about.

The small one I took at night in a corn field (last picture) would be no problem with a folding knife LOL:D but you never know what you come across when hunting with my friens Juan in Argentina.

Cheers,

André

Now that men, is REAL hunting!!!!! And that is a REAL hunting knife as well. I don't think I have ever seen a blade quite that thick. Awesome pics! How was the Bacon???? That is a good looking pair of PitBulls. I hope you don't mind, but I copied the one of the pics (2 hunters with both dogs, bloody knife) to add to my screensaver. Thanks for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
You are welcome. That is me in the picture with Christian holding the dogos.

The pork was very nice, after hunting we had asodos (BBQ) and drank vine.

I know that a lot of the canned hams and babyback ribs we eat in this country come from Denmark.....but I would never have guessed that they could look like the first beast you show.
 
Just to clarify, are you saying that you sneak up on one of those monsters and............STAB..............IT!?!?!?.........with a knife?:eek: Those are some great pictures, and a couple of impressive animals. Please describe the technique you use to keep from getting disembowelled. I would assume that they were shot except for the reference about needing a boar knife "long enough to reach the heart" leads me to believe that they are attacked and killed using the knife. Seems far fetched to me, but I have seen some crazy things in my years. I also saw a hunting buddy with a 10" bowie jump on the back of a four point buck that was right under his tree stand and try to stab it to death........I had to practically carry him out after that ordeal....he had a broken arm, and cheekbone, and he required fifty odd stiches total over several areas of his body after that buck got done with him. The deer was barely scratched. One of those boars looks a lot tougher than a deer.
 
They where all killed with knife and only knife. The big white dog, a dogo Argentino, helps out distracting the boar and when the boar is occupied with the dog you move in.
I am a martial arts instructor (Wing Tsung) and Escrimador (Latosa Escrima) however that is not needed to kill a boar, just the blood and guts routine:D
Knife hunting is very normal in Argentina and the rest of South America and I know that they do it in Texas and Florida to.

When you kill with your hands there is a reverence:grumpy:

These are pictures of hunters stabing boars and hogs, these are smaller boars. This is not me but clients of my friend Juan.

Ja like Mark Sullivan just with wild boars:D
Maybe next time I go a friend will join me and we will get some serious action on film.

Okay, I hadn't thought about the dog angle. (kind of stupid of me since they were in the pictures earlier but not on a boar) That makes it more manageable. I had visions of somebody sneaking up behind a tusker while he was feeding and sticking him. I have no experience hunting wild boar, but I have shot a 400lb black bear with a 45/70 right through the heart, and had him go 30 yards before he figured out he was dead....not something I would want to try with a spear or knife unless forced to. Of course that is the oddity and not the norm. Most of the time I have shot game like that, it has dropped in its tracks. Great pictures, and an interesting hunting style...I might like to try that (with dogs of course) sometime. I wonder if my Pyrenees would like it...lol he weighs 130lbs, but is kinda lazy unless provoked.

The dogs need to be dogos or bandogs. The dogo Argentino was bread to do this and is the toughest dog I know. Only 55kg = 120lbs but meand and fast with a hard bite. The dogo is smart to ans does not lock its bite like pitbull, it will fight smart with the bigest boars and try not to get hurt while taking care of you.
These dogs can even take on a puma.

Cheers,

André
