How much 'blurb' can you pack into a knife ad?

I thought about substituting 'blurb' with another word starting with 'b.' ;)

Would you prefer this 'knife' over other types for sticking a pig?

 
It's a recreation of an older design. I wouldn't knock Condor til I tried them, were I you. That particular knife doesn't have much of a purpose with their boar knife in mind, but still.

The boar dagger blade shape makes a bit more sense (for pig sticking) to me as well.
(How ever, I generally prefer a non-dagger blade shape for most purposes, but thats neither here nor there).
You dont want the thin spike-like shape of the 'tent peg' in question, as the whole point of pig sticking is putting the boar down ASAP i.e. you want a broader blade than that spike for bleeding the pig.
Just my opinion of course.
 
I have used in the past a Cold steel Laredo for killing hogs in Texas. Then having so much fun I went to Argentina to hunt boars. I had a knife made for me with what I thought was an improvement over the CS Laredo. Found a noted Argentine knife maker and worked with him for 3 weeks off and on and got the knife. The Argentine knife was more like the Cold Steel Natchez before that model came out. The major difference is that it has a full tang . I think in my humble opinion that a an 11 inch knife is ideal and a sharpened top blade tip is important. A huge knife over 12 inches might cause a danger to the dogs. Note of course in Argentina they use exclusively Dogo Argentinos. Which were genetically fashioned to be perfect boar and jaguar hunting dogs. The Argentine knife has no guard and looks like a kitchen knife. Was my custom knife better than the Laredo ? Probably not , I do feel more confident with a full tang. A K-Bar is totally too short on a decent size boar. All a K-Bar will do is make the boar madder and madder and endanger the dogs.

I would think the knife in question require a perfect heart placement. IMO the back tip of a bowie would allow more damage of the boars heart.

Boar hunting is a fantastic sport. Lots of running and heart thumping. The Dogos are wonderful pets if your a non city dweller.

Sounds like a great knife - any chance of pics?

I agree with you on most points.

Hog hunting is a lot of fun and you want a big knife.

Dogs are amongst my favourite dogs (them and Ridgebacks).
 
Boar meat is delicious. :thumbup::D

I could go for some boar bacon or sausages right now.
 
Those puppies are old--from the pre-Joe days of Condor. I don't care for them at all but apparently they sell enough of 'em to keep them around.
 
Is it just me or does that thing look like something someone made in their garage out of stuff they had lying around. A piece of steel pipe, two bolts with acorn nuts, and a rubber end cap.

more like the leg of a crutch down to the cap. I just happen to have my grandfather's old crutches here beside me & could copy that with a hacksaw or dremel then a rattle can of black paint
 
Haha it the bottom of a crutch! Look, it is exactly like a crutch with the rubber knob and the adjustment holes! Lame!!
