Description

Wild pig hunting has become a very popular sport as well as a necessity in many areas due to their overwhelming numbers and the damage they do. Wild pigs (aka wild boar, feral hogs – ‘sus scrofa’).

Feral hogs may appear basically the same as domestic hogs and a wide variety in colors and coat patterns. A mature feral hog may reach a weight of 100 to over 400 pounds. They have 4 continuous tusks, 2 top and 2 bottom and their contact causes a continuous sharpening of the lower tusks. The tusks combined with their lightning speed can cause serious damage to a hunter or their dogs.

The TOPS Wild Pig Hunter knife is a seriously hardcore design, the 7-1/2″ blade is made for deep positive piercing penetration and is combined with a strong puncture point. Each blade is ground from 1/4 thick 1095 high carbon steel. To add to a highly functional blade, TOPS has enhanced the blade by adding the ‘Black River Wash’ finish, (you can see the heat treat line running along the entire blade edge), and the final clear coat will give years of dependable service. The handle is designed using green canvas Micarta and our well known ‘Rocky Mountain Tread’ which ensures a positive grip even when in wet, muddy or bloody conditions. The sheath is made in the USA of vegetable tanned, tough steerhide.
