The Nieto Pig Sticker Yellow 20cm Black Blade (model N-Y1NB) is a full-tang, fixed-blade dispatch knife manufactured in Albacete, Spain, by Miguel Nieto. Designed specifically for the contact-distance dispatch of feral pigs in the Australian bush, it features a 200 mm double-edged spear-point blade with a black anti-glare protective coating and an integrated double crossguard to prevent hand slippage under heavy thrusting force. High-visibility yellow composite handle scales secured by triple rivets allow rapid location in dense grass, scrub, or low-light conditions.

Key Features

• Piercing Geometry: Long-tapered 200 mm spear-point profile designed for deep, direct penetration through the thick gristle and shield of feral boars.
• Full-Tang Strength: Rigid 4 mm blade thickness constructed from 440 stainless steel to resist lateral bending during use.
• Hand Safety: Integrated double crossguard stops the user's hand from sliding onto the blade during high-impact thrusts or when handling with wet, blood-slicked hands.
• High-Visibility Handle: Yellow synthetic composite scales secured with triple rivets ensure the tool is easy to spot if dropped in the field.
• Protective Sheath: Supplied with a dedicated genuine leather belt sheath for secure field carry.

Who is the Nieto Pig Sticker Yellow 20cm Blake Blade for?

• Australian Doggers and Feral Pig Hunters — requires the 200 mm spear-point blade and 4 mm spine thickness of this fixed-blade pig sticker to provide the structural rigidity and reach needed to cleanly penetrate the shoulder shield of bailed boars at contact distance.
• Landholders and Primary Production Pest Controllers — relies on the 335 g overall weight, full-tang 440 stainless steel build, and high-visibility yellow handle scales of this pig sticker knife for reliable close-quarters culling and rapid retrieval in thick scrub.

Less suitable for: Detailed skinning, caping, or butchery tasks, where a shorter 7.6 to 12 cm curved drop-point or trailing-point knife performs significantly better, nor is it suitable for camp wood chopping or batoning, which requires a dedicated bushcraft knife, camp cleaver, or axe.
