Not much of a traditional fixed blade guy (love Case folders though), but couldn't pass this up....
Saw a grungy green box in a pawn shop case, with a low low price tag.
Figured they were selling an empty box kinda cheap.

$25 later, it came home with me.
Also had the folded up catalog sheet in there too.

Wow. Good job seeing instead of simply looking.

Oh no you don't! I'll give him 50 and let him double his profit! :D

Those old yellow and green box Puma's were exceptional knives. Great find.

Hi ElKabong -

Nice knife! I have a newer Puma Bowie that I really love - great knives!

Does that one have the RC hardness test divot like the newer ones?

best regards -

That's what the sticker on back side of blade says
I assume the divot is under said sticker
 
That's a great find!

Guess I need to hit the pawn shops some more. Mostly I just see circular saws and air compressors that look like they swiped off the back of someone's work truck, but you never know what you'll find.

Sounds like you've been visiting the same shops I have. I asked at the last two I stopped at, and neither said they have even one knife.
