I was just gifted a Puma White Hunter.

The knife dates back before 1964 or so, since there is no serial or product number. It was unopened and unused. I've always loved puma knives, this is a dream come true.

Can't stop fondling it!

Wow! Very nice -grats on having a great knife and having a great friend.

That knife is an icon in Spain, it was the best you could get here, (if you could get it at all, the market being closed for foreign products till the 70’s) for a long time, German cutlery at its best
Really nice

That is a fantastic gift! Those old Pumas are some of the best, especially with the old Pumaster steel.

I always wanted one of those. It was up there on the fantasy list, with the castles and yachts.

Splendid knife, wonderful gift, and a better friend! Huge congrats.

Congrats! A great knife.
As Yoda would say: "Use it well"

 

[Bigfattyt]

Very cool!

 

[Chui]

- wow! How wonderful. Wonder if the giver truly realises the pleasure!

Not just a bit of an icon knife, but one of the originals too - double wow

Enjoy...

Do you also have pictures of the actual pre-1964 White Hunter you were given ?
The current picture only shows a recently made version,

IIRC, that blade etch is pretty recent, not pre-1964. Still a nice knife.
