I bought this knife really cheap as a hardware / sporting goods store was closing. I was told it was a commercial pig-sticking knife used to cut the jugular vein. I didn’t buy because of that, but rather due to its unique design and cheap cost.

Have any of you seen one of these? It is stainless, double sided with a unique serration pattern.

It's called a 'Weidblatt' and is indeed intended to be a superior tool for finishing off wounded pigs or deer.

This shape is far likelier to cut veins as they tend to stretch and evide a smaller dagger or knife.

The design is good but bear in mind that in the pig sticking sport you always go for the heart ,only very experienced hunters can attack the neck area with succes ,i saw jefferydenmark perform an excelent and risky cut in the neck several years ago.Juan

man.. if it had a crossguard

CR shadow 4.
take off the cap and screw it ito a brass threaded pole end and it makes a hell of a pike.

huge difference between a skinning and cleaning knife, and a fighting one
