ANY information on this Puma knife

[CycleSpectre]

Hi all,


Came across this old Puma knife and was wondering if anyone had any information on it? It has a single folding corkscrew on the opposite side of the handle. Model, year/s made, etc.

Pt-Luso Josè, any idea?

A high end Trachtenmesser / Jagdnicker.
More usually Jagdnicker, hunting knife; than Trachtenmesser, drawing/gutting knife.
Traditionally carried in a (Lederhosen?) pocket.

Someone famous designed a Jagdnicker with a skinning blade kind of like the Marttiini skinner, and he introduced a leather frog to slip the pocket sheath into and hang it from a belt.

My Hubertus fits nicely into this Schrade pro-hunter sheath.

The through-tang is the older type, but they're both still being made.

Reminds me most of the Waidmesser by Puma. But that one has the saw & a secondary blade that I don't know the english name for. Haven't seen one with just the corkscrew.

The stitching and metal fittings (which seem to be nickel silver) of the sheath make me think it's an older knife, probably from the 30s or so. I could be totally off though, as don't know much about Puma specifically. H herder would probably be able to tell you more...

That's a nice example of a 1920s to 1930s era Puma knife. The model number for this particular example with the folding corkscrew only was #3550.
The knife in question was not offered after WWII, but a few similar models were as shown below.

Nice, that's more or less what I imagined. Thank you for your consistently informative input!
