The elusive Pig Sticker inbound!(Arrived, pics added!)

[Ferahgo]

So, I bought my Pigsticker a bit ago, and now I am excitedly waiting for its arrival. Do any of you guys have any experience or pics? Please chip in! Pics to come quite soon.

Congratulations. I'm rather fond of my two 651's. The blade reminds me of a bayonet to some extent.

Saw that you decided on the pig sticker in your thread in general knife discussion. Didn't know how soon you'd find one since I believe they are discontinued.
Guess you were successful, very cool, waiting to see some pics.

Hammer, a handsome photo --- lineup. Was the non coated 650 the first one and later the coated blade manufactured? I still like this model. DM

 

[Badhammer]

The model with the silver blade and green/black handle was the first, there was another version with all black handles and silver blade and the black coated with tan and black handle is the latest/current model. I still need to add the second one to my collection one of these days.

The black and tan handled model in my photos is currently available at the retail level.

Ok, couldn't find them on Buck's website and a quick search showed discontinued ones. Cool that they are still being made, good looking knife.

hammer, was there a steel change from the non-coated to the coated blade? DM

 

[edbeau]

Dave, mine is from the first bunch that was sold on the bay a couple a day a few years ago.

Not too sure yet. This one feels more like a weapon than a tool, so I am thinking about using it when I am on hikes and such.

 

[David Martin]

Ferah, what is the blade steel on your model? DM

I like the tan one!

I have the earlier version thanks to Haebbie!

Dave - I think they are 440HC - *edit - it should have been 420hc....

Dave,
The certificate says it is 420hc.

No, all three versions to date used 420HC.
