I have been extremely sick this past week and still. My wife was nice enough to let me clean up my Christmas present. This is an Original Puma Bowie from 1966, Puma started to date code in 64. Mint condition with original sheath, box and card(all in German). I removed the rockwell sticker and sharpened the Pumaster steel on my 1k Shapton, gave the sheath a good saddle soap and condition. It is an very well made knife with some very attractive Sambar stag, feels good in hand. Pumaster steel is chrome plated, high carbon steel, if I am not mistaken. Takes a great edge. Hard to believe it has been sitting for 50 years, waiting for me.

Outstanding pieces!! The D'holder is something else...wow!
Get well soon, Kris! That old Puma should sure put some kick in your step. Awesome piece!
Thanks Gev, I am trying to get better. Bacterial infection of the lungs.
A couple of beauties, Gary, from the "bucket top series".
I agree. I keep hoping for one to show up on the exchange, but I've never seen one for sale. We may have to get off our butts and get one directly.I keep saying I have to pick up a Lambsfoot... On most knives a blade-open picture tempts me, but on Lambsfoot knives it's the closed position pictures that really shows them off IMO. Great picture.
I really like those little guys Travman, what a fantastic knife/picture.
Doubly-blessed, Jack! :thumbup::thumbup:

That TC barlow has Thrilling Covers! :thumbup:
Thanks for pulling out that Terminally Cheerful Charlow, Dean! I can use the artificial sunshine, especially after spending almost 8 hours shoveling snow between 7pm Friday and 7am Monday.I'm quite convinced that winter is already here.
More of my knives this week:
