I’m using a WOW special. Top of the line. He may correct me, but I believe the blade is 8” roughly. The spine is thick and it’s heavy but balanced. I can get to the middle of any big hog and I can chop smaller brush and limbs too. Just about my whole hunting circle uses them.

Kabar US MARINE CORP…the blade is a perfect 7”…you can't tear it up…back when I was a young man and before 4 wheelers I could chop 2” saplings to tie a hog on it and carry it out of the woods…the blade holds an edge but not meant to fillet meat with it…if I could only have one knife this one would be it…

I’ve used a few different knives, the one I’m using now is the Aussie tassie tiger. That thing is really good at getting into the oil pump ad opening up the drain plug.

When I started hunting with Thomas back in 07 I think, I stuck my first hog with a folding Kershaw. I couldn't afford a good knife that I thought had the features I wanted so I started making them as I had met a journeyman knife maker. He got me started and the shop I worked out of had a gas forge, a coal forge and a 60 Beaudry power hammer. I made some ugly knives until I got things figured out. I have made 2 or 3 hundred since I started. I have still never sold a knife, many have gone to those that hunt with us or to friends. Most that I have made go to worthy fundraisers. Most all I have made are a hunting or skinning knife with the hunter style having a good finger guard and those that go to hog hunters usually will have 7 or 8" blades.

The best bang for your buck is the Winchester Bowie they 20 bucks at Walmart for few decades. The over all best knife is the k bar 120 bucks can’t hardly beat that in today’s world. My current blade was made by Cajun it’s pretty darn good knife wide and long it take action smoothly
