Puma Waidblatt

[Enzo’s Woodshop]

Hello folks,

Do any of you own a Puma Waidblatt? If so, what are your thoughts on the knife? Does it feel comfortable / ergonomic in use? And does Puma’s 4116 steel hold up to the sort of heavy chopping a knife like this (0.31” thick, 8.5” blade length) should be able to do?

I am interested in hearing about the practical user experience of this knife. Any input is appreciated. At their $1000 price tag I am not intending to purchase one of these, I’m just curious about them.

$1k for that?? I'd pass

My sole experience with the Waidblatt was reading about it and looking at photos in those Gutmann annuals from the 1980s. Wanted, but could not afford!

Same, but I couldn’t help but be curious about it. With all the folks around this forum I figure there’s bound to be some with experience of it.
