What is this?

sparks879 · Dec 13, 2015

So i have this knife, all i know about it is its made in Germany by Puma. There's no number or date. It has a bone or antler handle. But i'd like to know more about it. I haven't had any luck on my facebook groups or any local pawn shops. Not sure how to insert pictures....if someone could help me with that it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Beth

Do a search in this forum for Puma as there was a discussion recently about this knife.

Get hold of puma knives.us they may be able to tell you what it is.

I found lots of pumas on the site. Lots of pictures of some really neat knives. But nothing of what i have. I'm trying to identify it. I can't upload the pictures from my computer for some reason.

I hope I did this right....it was quite the ordeal to get it into photobucket.

Looks like an old Puma Pathfinder in rather poor shape.

On second thought, perhaps a Puma Scout. How big is it?

Here's a pic with what looks to be a similar knife: http://iknifecollector.com/photo/puma-scout-knife-c-1980-6-in-the-series-1/next?context=user

One of our members here, Kwackster, is into vintage Puma knives. You might try leaving him a visitor message.

If there are any markings on the blade that you could take some clear pictures of, it would help people figure out what it might be.

Think you are right. Its a Scout. Pretty sure you nailed it.

Thannk's John! There's no markings on the blade, just Puma and Germany down by the handle. The sheath has a stamp in the leather of a puma head in a diamond outline and says puma under it. Those are the only markings on it.

from the bands on the handle looks like the 1950's model, just a guess from some pics I saw.
