I'm much more likely to hunt hogs with my longbow but if I were to hunt them with a knife, it would be my BK9 for certain.

This one will work for me:

Great knife!

a Fallkniven S1 works just fine for me.

that said, a Fairbairn-Sykes is about as nifty a pig sticker as you can get.

 

[Helle]

I'd have to go with a Hog stick.

Been hog hunting for about 15 years now, but never tried with Dogs or knife (rifle and archery only). Here's what I wear as a "side arm" during archery season. All have about 6.5-7" long blade. . .

show me your pigsticker or hog hunting knife,,i would like to see what other hunters use?? an if you never hunted hogs with a blade,just show me what you would take with you??your ideal pigsticker??,,,i also been thinking of starting a pig sticker knife challenge to all the knife makers,,JUST THINKING,,nothing final,i got the idea from the bushcraft knife challenge,i belong to the hawaii pig hunters association an i was talking to some long time members that i personally know an asked if they be interested in testing some knives,on there pighunts...the only problem is i have no time,,but if another member wants to take this idea an run with it please do ,i think this would be very interesting..
here are some of my knives i used over the years,but this first two pics the m95 ranger knife ,an the koyote's are my all time favorite,,,there are so many other great knives i used over the years that i dont have any pics of,,busse,randalls,kabar,lonesomepine battle bowie,rat,coldsteel,,ect....i lost so much pics when my computer crashed...enjoy

Good Lord Kalama, you have some sweet Koyotes there! I haunt his forum pretty hard and never seen some of those designs. What's in photo #6 please and when are you selling it???

 

[mbjannusch]

I wouldn't go out to hunt pigs with out one of these, The nighthawk series 651 "pig sticker" or just a night hawk 650 would do just fine.

last week someone P.M me asked if a esee 6 or rat 7 would do the job,,well yes it would these pics are couple of years old,,sorry bro that koyote is gone,,,always wanted to try that buck pigsticker..

 

[mbjannusch]

The Buck 651 Pig Sticker is definately a nasty knife. It was made for the Austrailian market, and found its way over here. You can still pick them up, but they are a bit pricey...

a Fallkniven S1 works just fine for me.

Damn this website! Goodbye $75

I guess it'll match the Enfield.

From our state big game hunting digest, "Knives and spears are not legal methods of take for wild pigs in California." wimps. I'm disgusted. Don't they have any faith in their god Darwin!?

Would anyone in a knife hunting state or country care to comment on the efficacy of this method? I'm a gun hunter, myself, and this is all new to me.

 

[takao]

Kalama you have quite a collection on knives my brother.

 

[kalama]

i will comment erasmus,i believe that done right knife hunting can deliver a faster, cleaner kill,its just you are up close an alittle more intimate with your prey then other methods,i also hunt with guns an bow an had my fair share of bad shots,tracking a animal for miles only to lose them,i also seen animals run 50 yards to a miles on a nice clean shot ,,it happens out there,but with my dogs an knife ,pigs are done within a minute when i get there,as you can see in the pic i stab a straight shot to the heart,its fast,i think people are against the use of dogs,they do get hurt or even die out there,an alot of people cant fathom that...the animal groups were tring to ban dog hunting they lost so now they are going after the knife hunting law...you cant use a knife then no sense take the dogs??the fight continues

 

[Erasmus]

Thanks for the info, Kalama. Even if I never get to use it on a pig, it's there just the same.

Don't give up the fight to protect your local method of hunting. The militant, do gooder vegetarians are always up to something (bad), and are never satisfied if you compromise with them.

 

[Jeremy Barnard]

No pics here but how does one go about hog hunting with a knife? do they not charge or run? Is it done at night?

 

[black mamba]

You use dogs. They harass the hog until it's winded and the dogs get a good grip, then you run in and stab it with your steely knife!
