Puma New VS Puma Vintage

[cpd670]

Here is my '02 Puma Bowie. Overall I am very happy with the quality of the knife.

Im not into the Sebenza (though no doubt a quality knife), so Ill pass on that one, so as not to derail the thread.

Suffice it to say, that I agree about it not being very exiting that the newer Puma White Hunter knives are made using 'stainless steel.'

I only have the one early seventies made White Hunter and am very happy about it not being SS - but then most knives I buy are carbon steel knives.

Stainless steel doesn't bother me, there are very good ones. What I don't like is seeing a cheap blade material like 1.4116 in an expensive knife.

It's a pity, because aesthetically the knives are fantastic. I'm glad I got my hands on some og the older ones.
