The Nieto Pig Sticker Bowie Blue (Model: N-B2N) is a dedicated fixed-blade dispatch knife manufactured in Albacete, Spain by Miguel Nieto. Engineered specifically for Australian feral boar hunting, it provides the structural rigidity and reach required for close-quarters dispatch during dogging operations. Built with a full-tang AN-58 / 440 stainless steel blade measuring ~4 mm in thickness, the knife features an integrated double quillon crossguard to ensure hand safety during high-force thrusting, paired with layered blue Katex/Micarta scales for secure retention in wet or bloody field conditions.

Key Features

• Full-Tang Bowie Construction: Features a satin-finished AN-58 / 440 stainless steel Bowie blade with a ~4 mm thickness, providing structural integrity for deep vital-organ penetration through tough boar hide.
• Integrated Double Hand Guard: Built-in double quillons prevent the user's hand from sliding forward onto the sharpened edge during forceful contact thrusts.
• Textured Katex Composite Handle: Ergonomically sculpted, high-density blue layered Katex/Micarta scales secured by triple rivets offer non-slip grip control in mud, blood, and extreme Australian field conditions.
• Heavy-Duty Leather Sheath: Supplied with a genuine heavy-duty leather belt sheath designed for secure, accessible field carry.

Who is the Nieto Pig Sticker Bowie Blue for?

• Australian feral pig hunters — delivers the necessary 8.5-inch (~210 mm) blade length and ~4 mm blade thickness required for deep penetration to humanely dispatch secured wild boars held by dogs at close range.
• Professional pest control operators — requires a robust ~335 g fixed-blade pig sticker with full-tang AN-58 stainless steel construction to withstand repeated, high-impact mechanical stress during feral pig eradication programs.

Less suitable for: Hunters requiring a tool for fine field dressing, caping, or campsite utility, as the 210 mm Bowie blade profile is too long and unwieldy for detailed slicing; dedicated short drop-point skinner blades (70 mm to 100 mm) fit those skinning tasks better.
