    Thumbs up YO, my bitches! Check out my Pigsticker

    aka the Buck 651 Intruder.




    Haven't researched the exact figures yet but something like 1,000 of these were made for export to Australia for pig hunting. Story is a few hundred were never shipped or for some reason stayed here and were sold through the Buck factory store. Been wanting one of these ever since I saw one for the first time. It wears the same type handle as most of the Nighthawk 650 series blades which I actually like but it's the modified spear point blade with the unsharped top edge and blood grooves that really appeals to me. It's a pretty thick, almost 8" blade but the knife is quite lively and light in the hand.

    Here is another shot with one of my early production 650 Nighthawks with a 6.5" blade.




    If you get a chance check on the Buck Nighthawk series. I don't care for the looks of the newer collaboration they are doing with TOPS but the older ones like I have are a great fixed blade and very underpriced and under appreciated IMHO. For sure if you run across a 651 Pigsticker scoop it up or tell me about it cause they are way sweet!

    Nice, I really like the looks the grip on that. Little big for a skinning knife but I bet it would be great for social work.

    I paid just over $200. I've seen them, NIB go for about the same to close to $300 or a little higher on ebay.

    That is a sweet looking knife. Looks like it should have bayonet mounts.
