EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Anyone ever use any of the Bubba Blade knives? I bought one about a week ago but haven't used it yet. It seems to be built well and has a good weight to it. Just wanted to see if anyone has used them on hogs and what they thought of them.

The one I got.... http://www.bubbablade.com/Bubba-Blade-7-inch-Penetrator-Tactical-Survival-Knife.htm

That saw blade on top is why I would not use it. It will just make a mess. I like smooth edges. Get in and hit the heart but does not make a mess of things.

   i agree it will kill a hog but i preafer a smooth blade typlicaly sharp on both sides more like an arkansas tooth pick .

 where is it made? i was thinkn bout getn a battle ax from either gerber, camilas or kershaw ( i forgot honestly) and knew the knives were american made, but looked at the box for the ax and saw it was made in china. it stayed on the shelf. as for the bubba knife, it looks good, but im with mr whitten and dub bout a smooth back for ease of pull out.
 it would be a good knife for a politician though.  >:D

the kabar US marine corp survival knife and you will never need to buy another for pig sticking...like HalfBreed said about the double edge...on this survival knife you can sharpen the top of the point and towards the back 2 inches...I keep mine razor sharp...

 thats it reuben, kbar. their battle ax is china made

I good case XX and you won't ever need another knife  ;)

There's a few others that's pretty decent, none of em are Rambo knives though.

 i used to use an eye brand with a 4" blade and it would hold an edge through several deer, but only 1 hog after cutting through the hair.

I use an old timer with a 5.5" blade. Not sure what the number is. Got a real sharp point goes in easy. I saw the bubba knife commercial the other day. The one they showed didn't have a good point but it looked sharp filleting tuna. Lol

picked up a Browning Hog Hunter its got about a 9'' blade with a rubber grip style handle stainless blade sharpend really easy, thing will shave.quarterd a nice buck it wouldnt shave but still nice and sharp think it cost me 45.oo

Thanks for the input everyone. I prefer a blade with smooth edges on both sides as well but figured I'd see if anyone has ever tried the bubba blade. I probably won't use it on hogs. I've always liked knives and tend to buy a lot of them but most of them never get used. I call my self a collector, but my wife calls me a hoarder when it comes to knives.

At least knives don't take that much room. Tell her you will stop collecting knives and start collecting cars if that would be better ;D I bet knives look real good after that.
