When it comes to skinning hogs, having the right knife is imperative for the job. If you’re new to skinning pigs, you may be wondering which knife to buy. Here’s a look at some of the best options on the market today, including the Gut Hook and Havalon Piranta. You can read our full review of each one below. Hopefully, this information will help you find the best knife for your specific needs.
Havalon Piranta
The Havalon Piranta knife for skining hogs is a highly functional knife that offers excellent accuracy and control. The thick blade tapers to an exquisitely sharp edge, while the leather sheath fits the handle perfectly. The blade’s toughness, durability, and longevity make it an excellent choice for a buck skinner. This buck skinner is an excellent choice for active hunters and collectors alike.
The Piranta blade has a 2.75-inch blade, which allows for a quick change. The stainless steel handle is stain-resistant ABS plastic, and the knife comes with a nylon holster for easy storage. Havalon has reserved space for this show in Columbus, Ohio in 2012.
Schrade SCHF Leroy
If you are looking for a knife to skin hogs, you can’t do better than the Schrade SCHF Leroy. This large chopper is made of razor-sharp, long-lasting 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and features a full tang design. This knife is also ergonomically designed for long-term use and provides excellent blade control. Its large handle slabs make it comfortable to hold for extended periods of time.
The handle is comfortable to hold, but it’s a bit harder to reach than a Gerber. It feels like a Schrade knife, but it looks much better. The blade is sharper and the tang is much more solid. This knife is great for skinning hogs, but it’s not the best choice for chopping or dicing. For the money, however, the Schrade SCHF Leroy will do a great job.
Buck 119 Special
The classic reissue of the 119 series, the Buck 139 Special is a perfect companion to your hog skinning gear. This knife features a 420HC stainless steel blade that is shallow clip-point and designed for cutting and piercing. The knife is constructed with a leather sheath and is sold with an engraved leather belt clip. This knife has a timeless look that is sure to impress.
The blade of this skinning knife is short and thick for excellent control and precision. A large hog may take quite some time to skin, so a blade with good control will make the job much easier. The Buck 119 Special knife for skinning hogs is a high-quality hunting tool, and will last for many years. You can purchase one from Amazon for under $30.
Gut Hook
