[QUOTE="randallss7, post: 2399191, member: 24507"] Hmmm I have done a little pig sticking and really never noticed it being tough on knife blades, I said a little so my personal experance is limited. The armor can be hard/tough but in my experance once the dogs get them held and they are down you just shove it in and its over forgive the visual. I have moved several of these to TX for this exact purpose and get a lot of good feedback. 12" total, 7" blade with sharpened clip, plenyt of handle. Melts through armor like hot butter. I started making these with 1/4" 0-1 tool steel clay quenched for a diferential heat treatment just to be on safe side, even though a good heat treated 1/4" thick 0-1 tool steel knife is pleny tough, I figured adding a soft spine would step it up a bit. The 0-1 high carbonf tool steel is easy to sharpen holds a good edge and is fairly wear resistant, a good working steel. These are version 2 as the first ones had a clean plung cut on the clip, which tended to hange up a little.
