Puma Knife: Puma Vintage Circa 80's Fishermans Knife
Puma Fisherman's Knife.
This one is a vintage Circa 1980's model and is in very good condition for age for a 40+ year old knife. There is no visible date stamp.
It is in original condition and still holds its factory edge.It closes very crisply with the blade in perfect condition. The knife handle is in almost mint condition with only very tiny tarnish marks. Puma Solingen stamped on the blade.
A lovely vintage example of this classic fishermans knife with heavy Fish Donker on the end.
Puma "fish knife" or more correctly Waage Messer as in Scales Knife as in weighing scales, the big ball on one end is both a counterweight for the scales, and also for whacking a fish to kill said fish.
Also known as a priest as in giving the Game bird or in this case the fish, the last rights and donking it on the head for humane dispatch.
The knife features a 4" polished finish Solingen Stainless Steel blade and is 9 1/2" overall in length. It is 5 3/4" long when closed. The entire knife is made from polished German Stainless Steel.
The front blade is etched with the weight in lbs. It is the purest example of Puma quality straight from the Solingen Germany factory and it still has its leather cord. A great chance to obtain an older Puma Fishermans knife
