In that case, you should post a sign that says "BEWARE OF PIG." When things do go bad, do you just turn the pig loose and let it raise hell, or is there a more defined methodology to protecting oneself with a pig?

Ha!

I just almost snorted beer out my nose. I'm imagining a pig "raising hell" in someone's yard...preferably Rad's, for some reason. Tee hee...

Malina?

When we moved out to AZ, I heard all these stories about the mighty javelina; how ferocious and big they are (Allegedly they get up to 70+ pounds. Allegedly.). Since I do a fair amount of backpacking I was always alert. Until one day I saw one... pathetic. I've seen quite a few since, and the biggest I've seen MIGHT have been 30 pounds. Pfffff - bring it on Wilbur.

70 lbs out here is a piglet. Which, we have a different breed of pigs. Not sure what they're supposed to be called, other than supper. Average boar is round about 150 lbs, sals a lil bigger.

Either way, with the "pig sticker" Kurt made, I'd still side with ya on the "bring it on" comment

Very nice knife Kurt, I'm sure you'll be gettin plenty of use out of it I've seen a few of your knives here that seem to show a great balance of aesthetics and function, you make any other weapons?
