Puma Knife: Puma 6394 Rare Original 1977 Hunters Companion with Jacaranda Handle
Original 1977 PUMA Hunter's Companion with rare Jacaranda Wooden handle.
This a very rare original PUMA Hunters Companion Model 6394 with genuine Jacaranda handle.
Model 11 6394 in good solid condition
*See full description and dteailed images which form part of the description.
Model Number 11 6394 with date stamp of 65773 being made in the 3rd Qtr of 1977 and is now 48 years old.
This came from a collection from the Puma Australia WA Salesmans samples from the 1970's and 1980's.
We have never seen a Jacaranda Handled model in the 20 years we have been trading and there seems to be no information on the internet for this rarer model
As you can see, Australia's humid conditions have not bode quite so well for this knife and although it is completely unused and untouched, it has some minor pitting on the blade as can be seen in the images.
It is made with the famous Pumaster High Carbon Steel and the markings are still on the blade as is the number.
These knives normally only come up with a Stag Antler Handle and by experts, the wooden handle is quite rare and in mint condition would fetch over $2000.
Overall length is 23cm with an original High Carbon Steel upswept blade of 12.5cm.
BLADE READS: 6394 HANDMADE PUMA HUNTERS COMPANION GENUINE PUMASTER STEEL GERMANY
Full tang. Built-in finger guard. Lanyard hole. Handmade in Solingen, Germany.
All the writing is on the blade but is a little hard to read due to the tarnish.
Please note, there is no sheath with with this knife
We would put this knife at around 96%+ overall condition for the knife with no other marks, chips etc but this view is of course Excluding the tarnish marks which is for you to assess.
We have left this in untouched condition and with some care and attention, some of the tarnish may be able to be removed.
A NICE VERY HARD TO GET RARITY TO ADD TO THE COLLECTION
We also have a Stag Antler Handled vesion of this knife which can be seen in the second from last image and at this link:
We also have a very rare Puma Trail Guide with Jacaranda Handle that suthered the same fate as this knife which can be seen in this link:
