EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Iv been havin lotsa of people wanting me to take them to stick a pig. I have never stuck one always tied them. Do yall thank this is a good knife for that it has a 6 in blade. Im wanting to buy something fairly quaility with a sheath and 100 bucks or less.

 go with a k-bar, its american made, very durable and has plenty of weight to be used as a hatchet if need be. if the material is stainless, why is it coated to protect from the elements? stainless is already a high corrosion resistant metal. sounds like inferior metal if it has to be coated on top of it being stainless

I was also looking them over. I want a knife that looks normal im not really to interested in carrying around something that looks like a sword. Charles which kbar do you prefer? Iv never had one but they look like they might make decent guting and skinning knives to.

Only know of 1 k-bar, usmc issue. Do they make another 1?  ??? Benchmade has some good fixed blade knives, but if ur at a $100 budget, i wouldnt look at them. They too are american made, made just up the road from where i work. Even after my 30% discount, my auto opener was still $175, but its got a lifetime warrenty and free sharpening for life. Well not free, gotta pay shipping cost but benchmade will put a factory edge on it. Iv had mine for 3-4 months and use it for my everyday knofe and with the factory edge, its still sharp. But not shaving sharp anymore, gotta put it on a stone this wkend

We've been using the Cold Steel OSS the past couple of years. It's double edged and snaps into the sheath so it doesn't come out if you forget to strap it... that's how I lose all my knives! Google it and you can usually find one for $60 to $75.

if you want a good sticking knife that will last forever and can be used as a hammer or whatever get a Kabar US marine survival...but not a good skinning nor deboning knife..,

the buck 119 needs to be treated like a knife but you can skin and debone...

Charles this is the kabar sight i was on http://www.kabar.com. Theres not a difference in k-bar and kabar is there i tried lookin both ways up and came to the same place. The marine hunter is the one i kinda fancyed. Do yall have a minimal blade lenght i should look for. The reason i dont want to invest alot of money in this knife is if i take a likin to pig stickin i thank il find somebody to make me a custom one thats all shined up with a nice leather sheath.

I've had one for the last 12 years...it works just fine.

I have a onterio spec ops I think is that it is I love it I dont stick many but when I do this is dang sure my go to knife.

The cold steel scout recon is a great knife. It is harden steel so you can chop through bone or what ever else you need to. It also comes with a great hard plastic sheath.

Why cant mooremaker just make pig stickers then the choice would be easy haha

The first knife on the top left. I didnt know there were that many k-bars out there. When i here k-bar, think usmc issue with the brown handle

yea Charles that is one tough knife...back when I was a young man I chopped a few 2" limbs to make poles so we could haul out a pig from the woods...I still have the same knife and it works as well as when it was new...I took it to the machine shop at work to get the edge how I wanted...I also put a razors edge on the top side towards the point...not a good choice to skin or bone meat on account the blade is a little too thick for that...mine is not serrated...that style came in sometime after I bought mine...
