Cholla Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I bought the knife a decade ago for a wild hog hunt for the final thrust. I never saw a hog so there was no final thrust and it has been sitting in my broken dreams box ever since. I recently made the sheath. It is Mojave rattlesnake. The knife comes from Pakistan. The bade is about 5.5 inches. The sheath is about 10.5" I would like $110 $100 shipped. I accept PayPal, venmo, check from SASS members or longtime Wire members, or a MO.

I was thinking a 454 Casull might be a better choice for a wounded hog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not 100% on board with the idea but the guy guiding me insisted that I have a knife to do the job. Depending on the situation I most likely would have just shot it again. As luck would have it I never saw a hog. I went one more time as a writer, not a hunter, and decided that I had enough material to write an article. I ended up writing two or three articles which were extremely popular. I can tell you wild hog hunting in southern Indiana is a young man's game because they live in the thickest briars in the deepest ravines found in the hill country. Unlike Texas and other states, they have so much food they have no reason to risk being in the open especially when pressured by hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumptown Galute Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Cudos on the sheath, pard! I have made a few, and it aint easy to get things just right for a particular knife. Great job! If I didn't already have a dozen or so of these Hog-stickers, I'd jump on this. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Call Saul Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I shot a very nice tusker a few yeras back... when we got to him, he was not moving even when poked with a rifle but still alive. I didn't want to finish it off with a headshot as I wanted the scull. decided to use my Zero Tolerance ZT-100... it was harder than I thought...

Guy I knew locally years ago killed one with a large spear and side stepped the hog as it rushed him and stuck it in the side. It was his first time and he asked the guide who took him what the best method to spear one was and the guide said there really wasnt a good way, but most people let it charge and side stepped and speared it. First time the hog charged he threw down the spear and jumped in a tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
