Puma Knife: Puma Hunt To Survive Keiler-Frischling (Wild Boar-Piglet) Twin Knife Set
New from Puma Solingen Germany in 2025 and only Two available.
Hunt To Survive Keiler-Frischling (Wild Boar-Piglet) Twin Knife Set
Hunters and connoisseurs of the PUMA knife manufactory appreciate our classic ‘waidbesteck’, which was developed by OFM Walter Frevert in the middle of the last century. It is still part of traditional hunting equipment today. However, we at PUMA do not only see ourselves as preservers of inherited traditions, but also want to bring new traditions to life!
Following the successful launch of the three HUNT TO SURVIVE knife models, which PUMA developed in collaboration with Frankonia and the three adventurers John, Philipp and Niklas, we are now introducing our modern interpretation of the ‘waidbesteck’. These knives are faithful companions that withstand extreme situations and offer reliable support, not only in the wilderness of Canada (youtube: Hunt to survive).
We now also offer the PUMA Frischling and Keiler models with a combination leather sheath so that you can always carry both knives on your belt or on your equipment without losing them. The small PUMA frischling is a perfect back-up knife and also masters filigree cutting tasks. The skeletonised design also makes it light and easy to handle. The large PUMA keiler is perfect for bushcraft or outdoor use, demanding tasks such as chopping wood, gutting game or cutting thick materials are no problem for the solid blade. The G10 handle offers a secure grip. The PUMA waidbesteck HUNT TO SURVIVE is reliably stored in the accompanying high-quality combi saddle leather sheath. What is your next adventure?
Both knives are made in Solingen Germany.

The Keiler Knife follows a similar pattern to the most popular Puma Knife, the White Hunter and here is a little on the history of the Puma White Hunter which can also be seen in the final image and at this link on our website:
Date stamp may vary from image shown dependent on stock coming in from Germany.
The PUMA White Hunter model was developed in 1956 in conjunction with the East African Professional Hunter’s Association to be the leading knife for big game hunting.
The Puma White Hunter, introduced in 1956, was in production for Eight years before the introduction of the Puma control number system. This number, a.k.a. Production Code or Date Code was introduced in the 4th Quarter of 1964 to assist PUMA with quality control and product improvement processes.
The White Hunter is the knife that made PUMA famous in the hunting knife market. It also earned them international recognition as a premier maker of quality production knives. This recognition promoted rapid growth in exports. One of there largest markets was the United States.

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.
