Puma Major

[jazzrabbi]

I've been eyeing the Puma Major on eBay and elswere on the internet. It appears to be held together with allen screws so that it can be taken apart and the blade tension adjusted.

I know Puma's quality has had some ups and downs but have a Puma stockman and a mini-lockback that are among the nicest knives I own.

Has anyone had their hands on this knife? What is the blade steel like? I'm looking for a high quality 4-5" traditional lockback for general utility use.

thanks,

stan

I think it would be hard to beat this knife for the price. Before you go the ebay route, check out Held's knives (pumaknives.com). But note that it has a 3.5" blade, which is smaller than you say you want.
