Opinons on Puma or Buck Folders

[bayouace]

I would not sell or trade my old Pumas or any Bucks I have. The deciding vote factor for me is the customer service of Buck.

I have a 110 and the comparable sized Puma lock back. Both from the ‘80s. The Puma has a thinner blade, rounded spine, longer more dramatic clip point, better steel, a thinner handle, harder bolsters and is just a better knife.

This thread reminds me that Ive been wanting to get a Puma Longhorn for years now. I dont know what it is about that knife, I just like it. If I would have been the designer, I would've went all-out and made it a real machete with a 14" blade.
Ive heard good things about their Spanish line of knives. Some of them seem to be identical to models sold by Muela/Joker, so in those cases its probably best to save some money & get those.

Voted for Buck, proven track record and built to take some work.
