What are the exact dimensions and weight of the Nieto Pig Sticker Bowie Desert?

This model features an 8.5-inch (210 mm) 440 stainless steel blade with a thickness of 4.0 mm. The overall length is 13.75 inches (350 mm) and the knife weighs approximately 335 grams, providing a solid full-tang build for bush utility.

Is this knife suitable for general camp chores like skinning and wood chopping?

Not ideally. While the 4.0 mm full tang provides great leverage, the 210 mm elongated spear point is specifically engineered for deep-penetration thrusting when dispatching feral pigs. For skinning, boning, or processing game, a dedicated curved skinning knife or gut hook will serve you much better.

What material is the handle made of and how does it perform in wet conditions?

The handle features Desert Tan Micarta scales secured with triple heavy-duty rivets and an integrated double handguard. Micarta provides exceptional high-traction texturing that resists slipping when exposed to blood, water, or mud in harsh Australian bush conditions.

Are there any specific legal requirements for carrying or owning this knife in Australia?

Yes. Buyers must be 18 years or older to purchase this blade. Because knife laws vary by state and territory—such as in NSW, QLD, and VIC—you must ensure you have a lawful reason, like feral game hunting, for carrying or transporting the knife in public.

Pig Sticker Knife - Nieto N-D2N

The Nieto Pig Sticker Bowie Desert (Model: N-D2N) is a fixed-blade hunting knife manufactured in Albacete, Spain, engineered specifically for dispatching feral pigs held by hunting dogs in the Australian bush. Built around a 4.0 mm full tang backbone, the knife combines structural rigidity with an elongated 210 mm (8.5-inch) 440 stainless steel blade designed for deep vital penetration through thick hide and mud shields.

Key Features

Full Tang Construction: Features an unbroken 4.0 mm thick 440 stainless steel profile triple-riveted to the handle scales for high leverage resistance under heavy twisting loads.
Integrated Double Handguard: Incorporates pronounced bilateral quillons to prevent the user's hand from sliding forward onto the sharpened edge during high-force thrusts.
Desert Micarta Handle: Textured synthetic scales maintain mechanical grip when exposed to blood, water, and mud without degrading under intense UV exposure.
Dedicated Sheath Included: Supplied with a heavy-duty genuine leather belt sheath suited for standard hip carry in field conditions.

Who is the Nieto Pig Sticker Bowie Desert for?

Australian feral pig hunters using hunting dogs — Requires a 210 mm (8.5-inch) penetrating reach in a 335 g fixed-blade pig sticking knife to achieve rapid, humane dispatch through the tough mud shields of cornered feral boars.
Wild boar doggers requiring maximum grip safety — Delivers an integrated bilateral double handguard alongside a 4.0 mm thick full tang steel construction, protecting the user's hands from slipping forward during forceful thrusts at close quarters.

Less suitable for: Hunters requiring a tool for delicate skinning, boning, or field dressing; a dedicated curved skinning knife or a purpose-built gut hook blade is better suited for processing game once dispatched.
