Puma White Hunter Knife with Leather Sheath

This is a classic Puma White Hunter fixed-blade knife, a model originally developed in the mid-20th century for professional hunters. The knife features a high-quality stainless steel blade with a distinctive drop-point profile and a hooked spine near the tip, designed for versatile skinning and utility tasks. The tang is fitted with genuine stag horn (antler) scales, showcasing a deep amber and dark brown textured grain, secured by brass pins. A brass finger guard separates the handle from the blade for safety. The ricasso area shows some markings, likely including the model number and ‘Puma Germany’ stamp, though they appear slightly worn. The overall condition shows moderate use; the blade has light surface scratches and minor dulling of the edge, while the stag handle maintains a strong, natural patina with no visible cracks. Accompanying the knife is a dark brown, basket-weave patterned leather sheath with prominent yellow saddle stitching. The sheath shows some softening of the leather and minor scuffs consistent with field use. This piece likely dates from the 1970s or 1980s based on the leatherwork and handle construction styles, representing the peak of German artisanal knife manufacturing from the Solingen region.
