Ey guys - seems like you've got me wrong here!? I was talking about my "favorite knife" - I WOULD LIKE to own - not that I've made it or already have it! Okay?! This one is 4000EUR which translates to $5200 !!! NO way for me to spend that amount of money - for anything!
I sometimes do my own knifes, yes, but I am far of, compared to this piece of art!

Delete some of the link I gave above in your browser to get to the front page of that Hungarian website. There are some more beautyfull knifes - trust me!

Jock, nice collection there!
Maybe I'll pass by my mother's place tomorrow and take a pic of my fathers PUMAS to show you ...

Good night! Falk

Even though I mostly use my own knives, I really like the old Hunter's Pal.  I keep one on a quiver...Doc

I have four older Pumas, a '69 Hunters Friend, '66 Hunter's Pal, '80 Trail Guide, and a model called a Nicker that is basically just a presentation grade Hunter's Pal and it came originally with a super set/ a huge thing called a Waidsblatt. It and the old Pal are far and away my favorites because of size and ease of sharpening, even though the Nicker is stainless. I have never been able to put a truly quality edge on the Trail Guide but I'm sure that translates to user error. The Hunter's Friend is a great camp knife but a little on the large side for caping/field dressing. All in all, they are my favorite knives and I own many. I think it's because, like Jock, they were tops on my youthful wish list.

Pumas are very nice,,,, I have an old bone handle "Edgemark" knoife from Germany and I nevr confirmed it but a gentleman at our club said the german edgemarks where made by PUMA.

Pumas are nice I'd like to get that one in 3-rivers but afraid I lose the file or can opener..

Check out the website (Pumaonly.com)they have a fine collection of vintage Puma knives and the prices seem reasonable.

I've got a Puma Bowie, had a White Hunter I got for Christmas in 1964, my nephew has it now.  It went thru a housefire and he sent it back to Puma, they put new scales on it and found the temper was still good.

Puma now offers knives made in Brazil.  They're considerably cheaper than the ones made in Germany.

My Bowie says "Hand made" on it, but whether this means REALLY hand made I couldn't say.

Falk, here's a picture of the knife!

You have great taste.  When I first saw it I let out some words I'm not allowed to post here.
