Scott made this Piranha for me (his wife), and the knife has been so popular with friends that we've decided to waterjet a run before Christmas. It will come with a Kydex sheath.

The prototype is 1084, but the waterjet run will be made from CPM 154, a Crucible stainless.

The Piranha - like all of Scott's knives - is flatground with a convex edge. Here are two videos on the Piranha. These include graphic images of Scott gutting a hog and aren't for the squeamish. Anyone who processes meat, however, will appreciate what this little knife can do.

The first video is short and to the point (a little over a minute).

The second video shows the entire gutting of a American Guinea Hog (over 11 minutes).

Thanks for looking, and let us know what you think.

Really cool little knife and obviosuly very effective in the hands of an experienced "processor" :). Personally, I enjoy seeing a knife used for an intended purpose. Shows how good craftsmanship ends with great performance for a customer. And I'll bet there are some tasty meals on the way from that hog ;).

Very cool little knife Scott!
 
Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

And Jeremy, yes, this activity does lead to tasty meals. Here's a pic of the ribs we ate last night.

Gave one of the "oysters" to our older "male" dog, but he had no use for it. I think he was offended.
 
I don't care what you say about how good they are, I ain't eating the "oysters", lol.
