Puma Fisherman's Knife.

This one is a 1989 model and is in very good to almost mint condition for age for a 32 year old knife.

It is in original condition and still holds its factory edge.It closes very crisply with the blade in perfect condition. The knife handle does show some very minor signs of age and a little tarnishing in a few spots. Puma Solingen stamped on the blade.

The warranty card matches the number on the knife and the box is the rarer Yellow base box with Green Foam lining and the rarer clear plastic sleeve. (There is a small amount of damage near one end which can be seen in the detailed images)

A lovely 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. A great chance to obtain an older Puma Fishermans knife
