An old and still useful Puma Gamekeeper's Knife, made at Solingen, back when Puma knives actually were "handarbeit." A favorite Wabi-sabi knife. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi) Missing some stag and stained green on the leather side. Sharp. No serial number, so pre-1964. Designed in the early 50's by German forester, hunter, hunting writer (and untried Nazi war criminal) Walter Frevert. It's early production, before Puma used the sterling silver hexagon inlay. I have a few, including a rarer one with an awl (a big sewing needle used to stitch up the stomach/chest cavity for transport of game after field dressing) instead of a corkscrew, but this old one is my favorite.

Outstanding quality I'm somewhat puzzled when you say W.Frevert was an untried Nazi war criminal, untried may suggest no case to answer? He was Chief Forrester for Göring I believe and World War I veteran. ? Not in the league of Verner von Braun for example who not only was a major contributor to NASA but an SS officer and producer of V2 rockets causing immense destruction in Europe, slave labour connexions too.
