The Nieto Pig Sticker Bowie Black Mikarta Black Blade (Model: N-N2NB) is a fixed-blade dispatch knife manufactured in Albacete, Spain by Miguel Nieto. Purpose-built for Australian feral pig hunters and doggers, this knife is designed to humanely dispatch bailed or pinned game at arm's length. It features a long Bowie-style clip-point blade finished with a non-reflective black protective coating, an integrated double quillon hand guard to prevent forward hand slippage, and contoured black Micarta handle scales secured with multi-pin fastenings. The knife is supplied with a fitted black genuine leather belt sheath with a snap retention strap.

Key Features

• Bowie Penetration Geometry: The clip-point Bowie blade profile is engineered to provide fluid, deep penetration through tough hide, thick fat layers, and cartilage.
• Anti-Glare Tactical Finish: The black-coated blade surface reduces light reflection during low-light and spotlighting operations while adding external corrosion resistance.
• Protective Double Quillon Guard: A built-in metal crossguard stops the user's hand from sliding onto the cutting edge when operating in wet, muddy, or bloody field conditions.
• Moisture-Resistant Micarta Handle: Dense black Micarta scales maintain a secure, slip-resistant grip when exposed to animal fluids, water, and extreme temperature variations.
• Secure Leather Sheath: Fitted black leather sheath includes a heavy-duty belt loop and retention strap for safe field transport.

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

• Australian Feral Pig Hunters — requires a dedicated fixed-blade pig sticker knife featuring a 200 mm blade length and a 4 mm thick spine to deliver the reach, rigidity, and penetration needed to dispatch bailed wild boars held by hunting dogs.
• Pest Control Operators — relies on a specialized dispatch tool with a 200 mm Bowie-profile blade and 4 mm spine thickness to humanely cull medium-to-large feral hogs at close contact range during rural eradication programs.

Less suitable for: Detailed field dressing, caping, or skinning, where a 200 mm Bowie-style blade is too long and unwieldy compared to a compact drop-point skinner or gut-hook knife; it is also not designed for heavy wood-clearing or splitting tasks, which require a heavy-duty machete or chopping hatchet to prevent damage to the fine tip.
