I like the looks of this knife and I'm thinking of buying one for a hunter/skinner. Will probably use it for camping and other odd sundry chores also. First, I would like some info from you good folks here. The knife is stated to be "German, stainless, and hand made." I'm not expecting a true work of art but just a good, solid knife. Help appreciated.

Apparently not, nor do I.

Perhaps you would like to stick around, do some reading and ask some questions before parting with your hard earned $$$$.

It's only expensive if you don't get what you pay for.

Not my line, but I wish it was. LOL

I never heard of the company myself. The knife looks like a skinner, but I don't know how useful that pattern would be for general utility. On an otherwise unknown knife, I prefer more information on the steel than just that it's stainless.
 
you can take a look at Browning Buckhorn Skinner Knife, it's on the same site, it looks very similar to your knife, costs just $7 more and it made from 440C.
 
Thanks for the input folks. Different points of view are appreciated.
 
I've never heard of this brand and for that price it would be difficult to produce a quality knife here in Germany. Even Puma have relocated the production of their affordable models to cheape countries.
The model looks like a copy of the Puma skinner. If you are looking for a similar knife I would suggest a Puma IP model.

I am of the opinion that they are produced by the Robert Klaas factory in Solingen

Well I got one for 29.50 shipped. It seems just fine and quality is plenty good for a hunter that's gonna be used without pampering it.

Since this is an "unknown" brand, some observations of the knife's attributes (fit, edge and retention, comparisons to others you have seen/used, etc.) might be in order. After you've used it a bit. After all, "inexpensive" does not neccessarily mean "cheap."

Always nice to add a bit of information to the base, as it were.
 
Well here ya go. The knife has a nice heft to it. The fit of the stag and brass is well done. There is file work just aheah of the brass bolsters and also towards the tip of the knife. The blade looks even on both sides and it is sharp the entire length. I have found only one thing I'm not crazy about. It is definitely a shiny one. I haven't had a chance to use it yet so I can't share anything about it's edge holding or cutting abilities. It is not a cheap knife to me and for the price I paid so far I'm happy with it. The sheath is only so-so and not made from a heavy grade of leather. There is a liner inside the sheath and it does hold the knife securely. OAL is 8.5" and blade is 4". The box says it is handmade Germany. I would say the overall quality is good.
 
Those serrations on the knife ahead of the bolsters is just a place for your thumb so it doesn't slip off. Now the serrations at the tip are for match striking. Hope it works out well for you. Personally I don't like trailing points at all for hunting. I like a dropped point. Nothing wrong with either. keepem sharp
 
longbow,
I got it for skinning and odd jobs. I have a bunch of drop points and wanted something different to fool around with. After I'm thru with it I will probably let my son have it. He has a good collection started.
