PUMA WHITE HUNTER – LION EDITION
The "white hunter" model is an ultimate classic with a universal blade that has been tried and tested for decades to meet the highest demands – Handmade in Solingen.
The two exquisite woods symbolize the majestic appearance of the male lion: the deep red plum wood represents his powerful, thick mane, while the light, richly textured olive wood reflects the silky sheen of his coat. Thus, this knife unites strength and elegance in a unique homage to the king of the savanna.
Developed in 1956 for the East African Hunting Association (EAPHA), the PUMA "White Hunter" quickly became known worldwide as the ultimate outdoor knife and is now considered an extremely popular classic. Its blade shape is meticulously designed and effortlessly meets all conceivable requirements.
The sturdy tip is robust enough to open cans or pry open bottle caps. A hatchet edge is ground into the center of the blade's spine, ideal for rough work such as splitting firewood or chopping bones. Additionally, the blade features practical serrations at the rear for cutting green branches, fish skin, or similar materials with a tough surface.
This exclusive version of the model features high-quality handle scales made from two different, carefully selected types of wood: deep red, shimmering plum wood and beautifully grained olive wood. An elegant brass inlay is incorporated between the wooden elements, further emphasizing the refined appearance of this classic design.
Another highlight of this lion version is the beautiful laser engraving on the blade. The knives are numbered consecutively. The numbers are assigned upon receipt of the order. Therefore, selecting a specific number is not possible.
Each wooden handle is unique – plum wood impresses with its deep red color, while olive wood scores points with its contrasting grain and Mediterranean flair. The craftsmanship is meticulous to ensure both a pleasant feel and stability. The additional brass inlay adds visual elegance and extra strength to the handle area.

Description:
The Famous PUMA® Proofmark - Lots of companies talk about the quality of their steel. PUMA® proves it. We proof every single PUMA® knife blade made in Germany for hardness. If you examine the right hand side of your knife, you will see a small indented dot on the blade.This small dot is the “proof mark” from a Rockwell hardness tester. Using a diamond-pointed needle, every blade is tested for hardness. This needle causes the proof mark that is a symbol of a PUMA and is your personal assurance that your knife will deliver the PUMA® quality promise. Before we package our knives, we know for sure that they deliver the right degree of hardness. If it does not pass, it does not ship.
Features:
Steel – The steel used to make PUMA German knives is the best knife steel in the world. The proper amount of carbon makes a knife easy to sharpen and hold a cutting edge, but it also allows a knife to rust more easily unless other trace elements are added to protect oxidation. In our 440A steel, we add about 1% carbon for a great edge and about 17% chromium to maintain the temper but inhibit rust. About 0.35% Silicon is also added to the base alloy to deoxidize the steel and further stabilize the blade. Additionally, other trace elements such as manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and molybdenum are added to increase the ability of the steel to form an edge and hold it once formed. These trace elements cause the molecules to align more evenly when cooling to give better structural strength and consistency. This is a more expensive way to make knives, but we know that every knife that bears the PUMA proof mark really does deliver the promise of the best knife blade in the world.
