Hi there,

This is my first post, so please be gentle.

;)

I'm looking for a double edged knife at least 7 inches long, probaby a spear point like the CS Tai Pan or maybe like the Randall #2, at a much lower price point. There is a high possibility the knife can get lost, so I don't want to be out too much $$$, if that happens. I'd still like something of quality similar to a Becker bk9 or maybe a ka-bar heavy bowie, if that's possible.

The knife will be used for boar hunting, so the blade can't be too delicate, and icepick type daggers are of no use, as I need a blade of decent width. It also needs a reasonable tang so my hand can't slip forward.

Thanks
 
Exactly what you need right here:

Designed for sticking, and used by the pros. (and cheap)

Pretty wicked looking knife. What is it used for? I browsed a bit and see that they offer a full commercial line of kitchen and butcher knives, but can't figure the application of this. (i.e. there are cleavers, boners, paring, skinners, etc.)

it is for sticking the heart.

I stole these pics from Trumby on Rat Chat. . . The knife in the pic is the one I linked to. . .

Cold Steel OSS.

It may be a bit too delicate for that application, but if you can, take a look at it. A lot of bang for the buck.

I think the word you're looking for is "guard". A knife's tang is the length of steel that protrudes into the handle.
 
Cold steel peacekeepers are nice too. Great for the money. The larger one is 7+ I believe. Not sure if they are still made though, but I think they are. Pretty wide at the tip too.

The Peacekeeper might be a bit small, but if he can find one in Carbon V, it really is a nice knife.
 
I'd go for a CS trailmaster, it'll definitely kill a boar and will hold up very well. You can get them for about $120-$150
