Waiting for the new blade to arrive, finally settled on a Puma Skinner.

nice knife. I have one puma. A 666 Gelder 2 blade pocket which was given to me some 40 years ago, I still have and still perfect.
They are a great knife.
I hope you got the real McKoy as there are some models coming out of Spain. Hope it is German made.

If you go again. Try Rob Dewey in Victoria. Really nice knives and Aussie made.
Now that's been said, who's coming for a shot?

Handled one of these at an ag show in July absolutely beautiful knife and really well weighted. Really regret not getting one.

Out of interest how much did it set you back?

I've been looking at the White Hunter model Puma lately.

That's not a knife, this is a knife!

The boys up the territory are using Stanley knives on Buff. I nearly fell over the first time I saw it but it makes sense as the dirt and mud on them hides will blunt any knife in seconds!!!!!
Bit of Aboriginal Genius at work here , what next a bent stick that comes back love it Boys!!!!!

They do a couple of similar models... The Longhorn stag, Waidmannsheil, Waidblatt.

Whatever the inspiration I like it.

yes, you are correct. I thought the one in the picture looked like the Spanish made one. Still a Puma, just not fully manufactured in Germany. which model do you think that is?

That's not too bad they were asking close to 300 when I saw it so I settled with a cheap old timer skinner
