The Baconmaker® is the most aggressive in the Adventure® knife line. The original was built for a friend in the Special Operations community and designed for sticking things, with no concern of it ever breaking. The spirit of that design comes through in the Baconmaker®. With a 7-1/8" 1095 Cro-Van recurve blade, it has Persian influence and is built to provide a very ergonomically sound underhand thrust. The recurved blade also cuts exceptionally well in slashing situations. This knife goes through boar shields like the proverbial hot knife through butter; we tried it. The handle is large enough for the biggest hands, but designed to fit smaller hands as well and gives the average hand multiple methods of manipulating the knife. The handle is textured with our new Adventuregrip™. Also included is the Piggyback. The Piggyback® is the smallest knife in the Johnson Adventure® line but it doesn?t know that. The Piggyback® is purpose-built for field dressing game from upland birds to big, nasty hogs and everything in between. Its simple skeleton design is very easy to clean up and it is made of high carbon stainless steel so keeping an edge on it is easy. It has a deep belly and an abrupt clip point that is perfect for unzipping skin from forelegs and other critical areas when caping out a trophy. The Piggyback® is all about toughness, simplicity and ease of use.
