Just finished up and delivered this Hog Hunter knife.

8" blade, long enough to pierce vitals, and a full length semi sharpened back edge to assist with piercing the thick hide. (Customer is providing the brass balls needed to take on a wild hog that up close and personal).



Blade is handforged 80Crv2, with an electro-etched boars head on the polished bevel.

Handle is stabilized maple, with a blued steel guard, and red fiber spacers.


I stippled a portion of the handle for extra grip, and added a lanyard tube/lanyard for knife retention.

Very nice and purpose built blade. I like that one a lot :thumbsup:
 
I have some friends that years back would go hunt hogs with knives and have killed a few with bowie knives mostly. That should get the job done very well I would assume, nice work.

Thank ya. I seriously hope it does the job very effectively. I consulted the customer about the design, as he has the experience with bladed hog hunting, but I'd sure hate to lose a customer, figuratively, or literally.
