[Eric N.]

Anybody know how many of these were made? I have one in brand new condition. Not for sale,but I was just wondering. THANKS!!

 

[Hunter Sharp]

Are you being serious?

 

[thrillbilly]

I have no idea how many Hog Hunters were made, but I wouldn't mind finding one LOL

you got pics?

Difference is what, just the sharpened swedge? That shouldn't be hard to mod a regular into something like that.

The Cam9s are also thicker then the kabar 9s.

I kinda like the Cam9...

Yeah, should take like 5 seconds...Will sharpening the swedge actually do anything though?

Anyone done a chopping or test comparison between the Ka-Bar 9s and a Cam 9?

 

[buckmaster96]

havent done testing but i am pretty sure kabar 9 is better chopper and cam 9 is better battoner

It has impressive piercing power. And it makes Liberals cry and it makes Sheeple flee in horror.

Actually makes me want to double edge my Cammillus BK-7

Here, have some pr0n:

Makes me kind of want to see Murph's bayonet double edged!

[K9-Handler]

All hail the HH King!

 

[Bladite]

mass is ass... that is, i feel the Cammy is a heavier knife, so it's a better chopper.

but hey, chop off between KaBar and Cammy? nice...

Oh yes- from a hog hunting standpoint, better penetration and a backcut.
From a fighting standpoint- exact same thing
Guyon- Nice HH! Nice box too, the Cami ones have a sort of charm to them that I love.
Bladite- Thicker blades don't neccesarily equal a better chopper. Thinner blades will have thinner edges and might actually chop better, although there probably isn't that much of a difference between the Ka-Bar and Cami 9s. Not owning a Cami Becker, I can't compare.

o Camillus era

oo Blade thickness: 0.21 inches
oo Knife Weight: 18.25 ounces

ooo KaBar


o KaBar era

oo Blade thickness: 0.188 inches
oo Knife Weight: 16.8 ounces


well, two more ounces the the thicker model.

convex both for a proper chopping edge, and i think the heavier one will chop better.

without a proper edge, a thinner knife tend to penetrate deeper, and bind more, at least in my use.

 

[thrillbilly]

There is a very noticeable difference. I can tell by picking one up that it isn't ''my'' BK9 just by feel. Very solid and chunky in the hand....has a nice balance, and just feels beefier then the kabar...and I LOVE my kabar 9.....the camm is just more to love.

I have been browsing certain auction sites..and keeping an eye on the Exchange. I will find one someday at a reasonable price, Im in no hurry.

This is a good point I hadn't thought about. A thinner knife will bind a bit more.

This is a lucky guy, he didn't even know what he had bought.

That's back when Camillus was still around though... They were probably a bit more common and cheaper at the posting of that thread (August 2006)

 

[Zuluninja]

pardon the heresy and please keep the pitchforks in their kydex, but I think that grinding off that longer swedge would make a beautiful blade, kinda like a Sykco 911. Ok, back to hiding.
