This is now no longer available from Puma and is actually a really nice, well made knife and represents very good value for money.

A chic everyday 'Gentlemens' knife with fine Damascus steel and a great look. The Puma Tec Damascus pocket knife is characterized by its Damascus look, which extends not only over the blade, but also over half of the handle. Matching the stylish character of the folding knife, the handle is finished by dark pakka wood grip scales. The lock is a reliable Back-Lock mechanism that securely locks the 7.4 cm long blade. Damascus steel has fascinated people for centuries and steals every show with its extraordinary patterning. In the Puma Tec Damascus pocket knife, a full 71 layers of 8Cr13 steel are folded over each other on an core. A small nail nick is used to open the knife. As expected for such a Damascus pocket knife, it is delivered in a black magnetic box, which can also function as a gift box.

Puma Tec knives are made by Puma-selected international partner-manufacturers under licence and strict direct quality control management of Puma.de (Germany), and represent very good quality and value for money.
This is an older model and looking at it, I can see why they discontinued it as looking at the quality, it would have been an expensive knife to produce. Very nice knife for the price.
*Please note that the knife finish will vary from that shown as Damascus Steel is a beautiful metalworking process and each knife will have an individual and one-off pattern and finish.
We also have a nice one handed opening folding 33 layer Damascus knife with Sandalwood handle which can be seen in the final image and at this link:
