The Nieto Pig Sticker Bowie Blue Black Blade (Model: N-B2NB) is a specialized full-tang fixed-blade hunting knife manufactured by Miguel Nieto in Albacete, Spain. Engineered specifically for Australian doggers and feral pig hunters, this knife provides the reach and strength required for humane close-quarters dispatch. It combines a heavy 4.0 mm thick Bowie blade profile with a non-reflective black protective finish, an integrated double hand guard for thrusting safety, and sculpted blue layered Katex composite handle scales.

Key Features

• Full-Tang Stainless Steel Construction: Built from AN-58 / 440-grade stainless steel with a resilient black coating to resist corrosion from blood, mud, and moisture across field temperatures from -10°C to +50°C.
• Penetrating Bowie Profile: Features an extended clip-point design on a ~4.0 mm thick spine to withstand heavy lateral and twisting forces when penetrating gristle shields on mature boars.
• Integrated Double Guard: Includes a dual quillon hilt to prevent the user's hand from sliding forward onto the cutting edge during forceful thrusts.
• Ergonomic Synthetic Handle: Sculpted, triple-riveted blue Katex laminate scales offer a secure, non-slip grip in wet field conditions.
• Heavy-Duty Sheath: Comes complete with a genuine leather belt sheath designed for secure, low-fatigue hip carry.

Who is the Nieto Pig Sticker Bowie Blue Black Blade for?

• Australian feral pig hunters using hunting dogs — relies on the 200 mm to 210 mm blade length and 4.0 mm blade stock thickness of this fixed-blade pig sticking knife to reliably reach vital organs and withstand extreme twisting forces when dispatching boars held by dogs.
• Large-game hunters requiring close-quarters dispatch tools — benefits from the 335 g carry weight and 340 mm to 350 mm overall length, which deliver sufficient reach and mass for heavy dispatch tasks without causing carry fatigue during long tracking runs.

Less suitable for: Long-range dispatch where bail conditions or terrain prevent safe zero-metre physical contact (use a firearm such as a .308 or 12ga instead), or fine field dressing and cape preparation (use a dedicated drop-point or caping knife with a 7 cm to 10 cm blade instead).
