Puma Knife: Puma Saubart-'Pig Beard' Universal Knife with PakkaWood Handle
Product information "PUMA saubart" 'PigBeard' Universal Knife
The model "saubart" is a handy and short, yet very powerful knife in solid construction for universal use - from PUMA Solingen.
The PUMA "saubart" offers the user many advantages through the following features:
As a blade material, stainless Sandvik steel 14C28N is used, which brings it to a Rockwell hardness of 60-62 HRC, giving the knife a high edge retention.
The new blade shape, previously tested by hunters, allows the use of the complete cutting surface. In addition, the back of the blade is provided with a sharpened phase. With a blade length of 100 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, the knife is compact and allows for practical handling. Thanks to the full tang construction, the "saubart" is also very stable. Pakka wood was chosen for the handle sheathing. This laminated and consolidated material is very durable and warp-free at the same time. Thanks to the pronounced finger recesses in combination with the strong toggle made of nickel silver, there is a secure grip when working with this high-quality PUMA knife. A black saddle leather sheath is included for safe carrying and transport.

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. (show photo of knife with dot circled). 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
