went boar hunting in south texas two weeks ago--son had a cold steel trailmaster --i used a cold steel laredo--also brought a gerber silver trident--guide okayed the cold steel knives but rejected the gerber being too short---guide wanted a knife between 9 to 11 inches sharpened top and bottom---question #1 any of you texans out there recommend a better knife?#2 who would make a custom tactical sheath like the gerber silver trident sheath made by blackhawk industries-for the cold steel knives--- thanks for looking regards herb mulqueen jr.-

Hey Herb

Might want to check out Fallkniven's MC1. Read on this forum board that someone used it for boar hunting... don't recall the reply of how it went.

Fact is that you can make a homemade kydex carrying rig, for a knife with a blade lenght of that sort it would be interesting to see a on the back type of a rig being able to draw the blade from behind your back.

Hello,2 names come to my mind when talking about boar hunting knives.One is Larry Harley of LonesomePine Knives.He makes a special boar hunting knife and I hear that he also guides boar hunts with knives.
The second person is ABS Mastersmith and knife maker extraordinaire,Robbin Hudson.He made a beautiful boarhunting knife.I think the original owner had used it to take out 4 boars.On the other FORUMS,there was a post about this knife and the whole story of the knife,along with some wonderful pictures.It was by a gentleman called Coop,or at least that is his forums name.I don't know if Coop posted about that Hudson knife over here.Maybe some other forum member can give you more info about Hudson or Larry Harley.

And as luck may have it, I found one on e-bay for a lesser price.

I have a "pig-sticker" by Bryan Baker of Svord Knives in New Zealand.
Looks a bit like a sandwich knife....a bit. L6 steel, I believe. Convex grind.
Was designed for NZ and Australian boar hunters. Pretty mean beasts of great size.
Haven't used it as such. My pork comes from the butcher and I don't agree with exposing man's best friend to the dangers of that kind of hunting. And I can't imagine tackling a boar without something to distract him from me as a target.

Herb, how did you and your son kill your boars with your knives? Do you stab them or do you slice their bellies open?

BC- there is a traditional way of hunting boars in South America with knives. You loose a bunch of dogs, like dogo argentinos to catch the boar and hold it down while the hunter catches up and slits the pig's throat. In that instance it would certainly be nice to have a long, double edged knife so there would be no fooling around at the critical time.

Hey Herb
Chris Reeve made a run of knives he called HOG sticks with about a 9" or 10" blade. As far as the tactical nylon sheaths go I'm not sure. I have held the hog stick before and it makes you want to cut stuff.

Writer David Steele killed a boar or two on Hawaii with a Randall Model 1. I think it had a six-inch blade.

Sir Samuel Baker and other British Victorian hunters used Sheffield or London Bowies and Hunting Knives about ten or so inches in the blade. A book by Gen. A.A.A. Kinloch on hunting Indian game recommended a dagger some eight inches in the blade, in case a wounded animal had the hunter down. The Shakespeare and RBD knives on the Wilkinson's Sword site originated in this period. www.wilkinsonsword.com Click on "knives".

I'd probably use my Fallkniven NL 2, with an eight-inch blade, or my Randall Model 16.

Puma has made some game stickers that probably would work, too.

Frankly, I'd prefer my Sako .30/06...

this is my second post on this knife forum---i thank everybody who has responded to my questions---since this was first time on your forum i responed directly to peoples questions----my mistake--preparing a hunting report which the rough draft goes 8 pages---the way we hunted in south texas was as follows---3 black cur hounds search out the hogs--once on the trail they follow and then find the hog--they then harass the boar and make him stand and fight---the boar then backs up to a tree--catus --creek bank etc---and fights the blacks curs--the black curs keep harassing but stay out of range---when the boar stands and fights its called the "bay" then and only then, does the hounds bark --(-believe it or not there is a magazine monthly called SOLID BAY MAGAZINE--there are also big time baying contest all over texas-in a rodeo type facility)--then the hunters hear the bay and come up with the dogos---the dogos are released and attack like linebackers--no growling --no backing up --just a hard hit---they attach themselves to the boars head---ears--cheeks---jowls---nose---and hold---they will not release until the boar is dead----the hunter comes up and makes one thrust under the front armpit (legs)into the heart area---once in you work the knife---if done right the boar is dead in 4 or 5 seconds---the hard part after that is getting the dogos to release---if you want a detailed report , should have it ready in a week or so---please send me your email address---also note in over six years dan moody the guide service in nixon texas has not lost a dog in over six years--besides hunting companions --these dogs especially the black curs are worth 3 to 5 k us dollars---i have a dogo puppy and they love people and love to hunt hogs---its amazing that these dogs go from gentle love machines to fierce catch dogs back to gentle in a matter of minutes----the correct name is dogo argentino---again thanks for the responses--regards herb mulqueen
