A HOG B8 would go great with my bone slicing Butaniku. This one has now chopped up over 2000 lbs of large hanging critters into pieces small enough to make buckets of dog chow. None of them were ideal for human consumption either due to time of death, type of animal or disease, so chopping them up as they hung was much more time friendly than a full skin & butcher process. Dogs love the raw meat and don't care if it's clean or not either, so it works out very well without wasting anything. Slicing through the bones is very hard on the coating though.
Chopping up fresh carcasses with a sword definitely teaches you what it can and can not do. I will say that as unpleasant as the idea may be, if I had to take on an charging griz with just this sword, I might have a decent chance of either driving it away or seriously damaging it enough for me to survive. Necks & bellies are like butter... just sayin'.
