The Nieto Pig Sticker Desert Mikarta Black Blade (model N-D1NB) is a dedicated fixed-blade dispatch knife engineered specifically for the Australian feral pig hunting market. Built with full tang construction, this manual edged hand tool delivers humane terminal penetration on held game during contact-distance hunting. Its tapered drop-point profile, combined with heavy-duty construction materials, provides the lateral strength and reach required to pierce tough hide and cartilage shields in demanding field environments.

Key Features

• Penetration Geometry: Features a 20 cm tapered drop-point blade designed to achieve vital organ penetration through dense tissue and bone structure.
• Heavy-Duty Blade Construction: Manufactured from 4 mm thick 440 stainless steel with a protective black coating that adds corrosion resistance and reduces field glare during night operations.
• Integrated Double Crossguard: Designed with a wide double hand guard to prevent forward hand slippage onto the cutting edge during high-impact thrusting in wet, bloody, or muddy conditions.
• Desert Tan Micarta Handle: Triple-riveted high-density Micarta handle scales provide non-slip, weather-resistant grip traction under extreme environmental stress.
• Protective Carry Sheath: Includes a heavy-duty genuine leather sheath designed for secure belt retention during active hunting.

Who is the Nieto Pig Sticker Desert Mikarta Black Blade for?
