Product Description

Designed for skinning, this PUMA fixed blade features a long, thick trailing-point blade that allows for maximum wrist extension when cutting. Crafted from 440A steel with a satin finish, the 5.1-inch blade is a sight to behold—and it’s just as impressive when you start using it Read More

I have this exact model knife, (6393) purchased about 20 years ago. It’s hard to sharpen well, but really holds an edge, even cutting through moose hair and hide. If this is German production, it‘s a great price.

My father was/is a big game guide during the '80s, and PUMA is the knife he used for skinning and caping in camp after the hunt. He used it for many years, and finally retired it after almost losing it on the mountainside one day (there were grizzlies trying to move on an animal they had taken, it was dark, things got...hectic). It is definitely a user, not just a looker (although it is that as well).

Puma is a confusing brand because they have different models that look the same but differ in cost due to being made in germany or made in china. Then there are some models which are assembled in china with german manufactured parts--but I think the blade is still stamped "German steel" rather than "Germany". What is the exact product model or identification code for this knife so we can determine whether this is made in germany, made in china, or assembled in china from german components?
Edit: Looking at the picture, I think what is being offered here is the german verson--ie entirely made in germany.

I've never heard of Puma before. Can anyone comment on their quality. This knife looks beautiful but I want to make sure it a good usable knife and not an all show and no go piece.

AsmodeousPuma has been around longer than most. It is a traditionalist old school knife. The knives made in germany are well regarded--they go so far as to individually rockwell test each and every knife (at least they did 20 years ago). There should be a small dent the size of a grain of sand on the side of each blade where a prob was pushed down into the metal to determine rockwell hardness of the blade--to guarantee that every knife sent out is up to spec. That's impressive since no other knife company that I know of tests every knife in this way. This seems to be a good price and it is definitely a user rather than display knife.
